Nursing Strategies to Increase Vaccination Rates in Adolescents: Education, Video Animation and Games

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate how immunization education, video animation, and game interventions based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) affect the immunization decisions of late adolescents. The findings could contribute to the development of targeted interventions to increase vaccine acceptance among adolescents. Hypotheses: Does the educational intervention, video animation, and game application affect adolescents' knowledge of vaccines? Do these interventions influence adolescents' positive attitudes towards vaccines? Will the interventions lead to significant changes in adolescents' health beliefs, especially regarding perceived risks, benefits, and barriers? Do the interventions increase vaccine acceptance and vaccination rates among adolescents? Do the interventions reduce vaccine hesitancy among adolescents? Can the Health Belief Model-based interventions provide an effective communication strategy to increase vaccine acceptance? Method: The research will be conducted from March 3 to March 30, 2025. Participants will undergo immunization education, video animation, and game applications. Expert opinions will be consulted for developing educational materials, videos, and games. Institutional approval will be obtained, and an informed consent form will be distributed to participants. Those who volunteer will be assigned numbers, and participants for the intervention and control groups will be selected using simple random sampling. Interventions: Educational Material: Aimed at increasing awareness about vaccines, the education focuses on the perceived risks, benefits, and barriers to vaccination. Video Animation: A video that explains how vaccines work, strengthen the immune system, and address perceived risks and benefits. Game Application: A simulation game called "infected interaction," where participants learn about the spread of infectious diseases during social interactions. Inclusion Criteria: Inclusion: Adolescents aged 18-21, willing t
