Abstract

Nutritional problems among children under five, particularly stunting, remain a major public health challenge in East Kalimantan, especially in Samarinda. Findings from a preliminary study indicated that one contributing factor is the low level of maternal knowledge and attitudes regarding Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF). This study aimed to analyze the effect of IYCF education using the Emotional Demonstration (Emo-Demo) method on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers with children under five in the service area of Mangkupalas Primary Health Center. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 34 mothers of children under five were recruited and divided equally into a control group (Booklet PINTAR, n = 17) and an intervention group (Emo-Demo, n = 17). Data on knowledge and attitudes were collected using structured questionnaires. Despite the observed improvements, it is important to note that significant sociodemographic disparities existed at baseline between the two groups, particularly regarding maternal education and household income. Data analysis was conducted using the Wilcoxon test to assess within-group changes and the Mann–Whitney test for between-group comparisons. The results showed a significant improvement in both knowledge and attitudes in the two groups; however, greater changes were observed in the intervention group. Education using the Emo-Demo method significantly increased maternal knowledge (p = 0.000) and attitudes (p = 0.001). Overall, the Emo-Demo method appeared more effective than printed media, although these findings must be interpreted with caution due to the baseline inequalities.

Abstract

To compare the effect of "CEMAS" (Cegah Malnutrisi dengan Aksi Sehat / Preventing Malnutrition with Healthy Action) nutrition education delivered through a facilitated PowerPoint presentation versus a printed leaflet on maternal knowledge and self-reported parenting practices. In a two-group pretest posttest quasi-experimental study, 60 mothers of stunted children aged 6 59 months were randomly sampled from the eligible register of a primary health centre catchment area in South Balikpapan District and allocated by service schedule to a PowerPoint group (n = 30) or a leaflet group (n = 30); individual random assignment was not performed. Each group received a single 30 60 minute CEMAS session. Within-group change was tested with paired t-tests and between-group difference in change with independent-samples t-tests, with an analysis of covariance adjusting for baseline score as a supporting analysis. Knowledge and parenting-practice scores rose in both groups (all p < 0.001). The mean pre-to-post change was larger in the PowerPoint group for knowledge (8.30 versus 5.00 points) and for parenting practice (12.43 versus 4.30 points). Post-intervention scores also favoured PowerPoint for knowledge (mean difference 5.13; 95% CI 3.94 to 6.32; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 2.23) and for parenting practice (mean difference 5.83; 95% CI 4.70 to 6.96; p < 0.001; Cohen's d = 2.67). Baseline scores differed between groups, so these estimates are not adjusted for the starting point unless stated. CEMAS-based nutrition education improved maternal knowledge and self-reported parenting practices under both delivery formats, with larger gains under the PowerPoint format. Because allocation was not random, follow-up was short and no anthropometric outcome was measured, any effect on child linear growth remains unestablished and requires confirmation in controlled studies.
