Abstract

Introduction: Early childhood nutrition is a fundamental determinant of optimal growth and development. The study aimed to evaluate how mothers provide complementary feeding (CF) to infants and young children aged 6–23 months. It explored factors influencing the adoption of safe and hygienic CF practices recommended by the WHO and Infant and Child Feeding Guidelines. Methods: A non-experimental quantitative approach surveyed 1125 mothers across 28 districts/cities. Reliability was assessed using composite reliability (?_c), ensuring reliability threshold (?0.7) was met. Although most constructs comprised single items, they were deemed reliable. Results: Findings indicated that being the first child didn't significantly impact maternal understanding of CF (?=0.034, p=0.215) or adherence to safe CF practices (?=-0.001, p=0.307). Maternal employment status also showed no significant influence on CF knowledge (?=0.022, p=0.492) or safe CF practices (?=-0.01, p=0.568). However, maternal education significantly affected CF knowledge (?=0.060, p<.001) and safe CF practices (?=-0.030, p=0.004). Conclusion: In essence, higher maternal education levels correlated with better understanding of CF, thereby indirectly promoting safe and hygienic CF preparation.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Malnutrition in toddlers is still a significant public health problem at the global and national levels. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the implementation of clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) in the household environment and the incidence of malnutrition in toddlers in the working area of the Batunadua Health Center. Methods: This study used an analytical quantitative design with a cross sectional study approach. The population and sample are all toddlers registered in the Batunadua Health Center area. Data were collected using questionnaires and weight measurements of toddlers based on the BB/U index. Data analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a significance level of α = 0.05. There was a relationship between the history of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of malnutrition (p=0.001), there was a relationship between diet and the incidence of malnutrition (p=0.018). There was no association between immunization history (p=0.128) and handwashing habit with soap (p=0.072) with the incidence of malnutrition in toddlers. It was found that exclusive breastfeeding and diet were significantly related to the incidence of malnutrition in toddlers. Immunization and soap hand washing habits did not show a significant relationship in this study. So it is necessary to increase nutritional literacy for families under five.
