Abstract

Background: Indonesia has the third-highest stunting rate in Southeast Asia, with inadequate of complementary feeding  contributing to the issue. Enhancing pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes about proper complementary feeding is crucial, and research shows that audio-visual media is more effective for education than other formats. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of audio-visual educational media and leaflets in educating pregnant women about the four conditions (namely timely, adequate, safe, and properly fed) for giving complementary feeding. Methods: This study utilized a quasi-experimental design with a post-test-only control group. Data was collected from 40 Biromaru Community Health Center pregnant women from August to September 2023. The analysis utilized frequency distribution and the Mann-Whitney test. Results: The average knowledge (24.58) and attitude (25.88) of the audio-visual media group was higher than the knowledge (16.43) and attitude (15.13) of the leaflet media group. P value=0.02(<0.05) for the knowledge variable and p=0.01(<0.05) for the attitude variable Conclusion: Audio-visual media is more effective than leaflets in improving knowledge and attitudes about the four complementary feeding requirements to prevent stunting in pregnant women. It can serve as an alternative educational tool for health workers during pregnant women's classes.

Abstract

This study evaluates anemia prevention and control measures among adolescent girls in Central Sulawesi, Indonesia, where anemia remains a pressing public health issue. Conducted from March to June 2024 in junior and senior high schools in Donggala and Poso, the cross-sectional study surveyed 384 girls using a structured questionnaire. Ethical approval was granted, and informed consent was obtained from participants. The study revealed a prevalence of anemia at 54.71%, with 79.43% of affected girls reporting iron supplement intake. Significant factors associated with anemia included daily consumption of fortified wheat flour (p = 0.010, PR 1.75), mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) (p = 0.011, PR 1.74), and negative attitudes toward anemia prevention (p = 0.043, PR 1.54). Despite the high percentage of girls taking iron supplements, anemia remains prevalent, indicating gaps in current prevention efforts. The findings highlight the need for enhanced food fortification, better nutritional monitoring, and educational initiatives to shift attitudes and behaviors. Future research should investigate the long-term effectiveness of these interventions to improve public health outcomes.
