Abstract

Routine child weighing at Posyandu is essential for monitoring growth and early detection of nutritional problems; however, maternal participation remains suboptimal due to inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor compliance. Although Posyandu cadres play a central role in community-based child health services, evidence regarding the effectiveness of cadre empowerment in improving maternal compliance remains limited. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of Posyandu cadre empowerment in improving mothers' knowledge, attitudes, and compliance with routine child weighing in the Pringsewu Community Health Center working area, Indonesia, in 2026. A quasi-experimental pretest–posttest control group design was conducted among 82 mothers of children under five selected using proportional stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable questionnaire and analyzed using paired t-tests and the McNemar test. The intervention significantly increased knowledge (mean difference = 5.67; 95% CI: 5.14–6.21; Cohen's d = 2.33; p < 0.001), attitudes (mean difference = 11.33; 95% CI: 10.93–11.73; Cohen's d = 6.16; p < 0.001), and compliance (p < 0.001; matched OR = 34.00; 95% CI: 4.65–248.38), whereas no significant changes were observed in the control group. These findings indicate that Posyandu cadre empowerment is an effective promotive and preventive strategy for strengthening maternal participation in routine child health monitoring

Abstract

Appropriate complementary feeding (MP-ASI) is an important factor in supporting the growth and development of children aged 6–12 months. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education on complementary feeding practices among mothers with children aged 6–12 months in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Kampung Sawah. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test control group design was employed involving 76 mothers, who were assigned to either an intervention group or a control group. The intervention consisted of health education delivered through lectures, group discussions, question-and-answer sessions, and educational materials on appropriate complementary feeding practices, conducted in two 60-minute sessions. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the McNemar test and Mantel–Haenszel test. The results showed that health education significantly improved complementary feeding practices in the intervention group. Health education also increased the likelihood of improvement in complementary feeding behavior, with Odds Ratios ranging from 6.00 to 7.00, and these changes were not influenced by maternal education, age, or occupation. The study concluded that health education is an effective health promotion strategy for improving complementary feeding practices among mothers of children aged 6–12 months in primary healthcare settings.
