Abstract

The health and well-being of infants throughout their lives are significantly influenced by adequate nutrition. Nutritional deficiencies, often associated with stunting, can negatively impact a child's physical growth, motor development, and cognitive abilities. Infants who receive complementary foods (MPASI) before 6 months of age are at higher risk of experiencing essential nutrient deficiencies. This study aims to determine the relationship between the history of MPASI provision under 6 months of age and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in the Lumpue Community Health Center (Puskesmas) work area. The method used was a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The study population included all toddlers registered at the Lumpue Community Health Center in May 2025, totaling 97 children, with a sample size of 78 toddlers. The research instrument was a questionnaire, while data analysis used the chi-square test. The analysis results showed a p-value of 0.000, so the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) was rejected. Thus, there is a significant relationship between the provision of MPASI before 6 months of age and the incidence of stunting in toddlers. It is hoped that further research will be able to examine in more depth other factors such as the quality of complementary feeding, parenting patterns, and the role of health education in shaping the behavior of providing complementary feeding.

Abstract

Knowledge of pregnant women, especially primigravidas, plays a crucial role in preparing for childbirth. Lack of understanding can increase anxiety and the risk of complications. Leaflets are a practical, easy-to-understand, and self-study tool for health education. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education using leaflets on knowledge about childbirth among primigravida mothers. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest. The sample was 77 primigravida mothers who underwent examinations at Lagaligo Regional General Hospital I, East Luwu Regency, in September 2024. The research instrument was a standardized questionnaire whose validity was tested. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate tests using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Before the intervention, 29 respondents (37.7%) had good knowledge, 25 (32.5%), and 23 (29.9%) had insufficient knowledge. After the intervention, good knowledge increased to 56 people (72.7%), sufficient knowledge decreased to 21 people (27.3%), and no respondents had poor knowledge. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating a significant difference before and after leaflet distribution. Health education using leaflets effectively increased primigravida mothers' knowledge about childbirth. This media can be used as an educational tool in antenatal care to support safe childbirth. Further research using an experimental design with controls is recommended to evaluate the impact on childbirth behavior and readiness.
