Abstract

Background: Nutrition is a major component that determines the quality of human resources. In 2021, Indonesia recorded 1.0% of toddlers with severe malnutrition and 3.9% with moderate malnutrition. Mothers' knowledge and attitudes have a significant impact on the nutritional status of toddlers, so various efforts have been made to address this issue, including through the use of the Maternal and Child Health Handbook (Buku KIA) and the implementation of Toddler Mother Classes. Aims: This study aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of mothers who attend Toddler Mother Classes and the nutritional status of infants at the Jatijajar Community Health Centre. Method: This study was a quantitative observational analytical study with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 22 mothers and their infants, selected using saturation sampling. Result: Based on Spearman's Rank Correlation Coefficient test, the results between the variable of mothers' knowledge and the nutritional status of infants were Sig. (2-tailed) 0.591 (p > 0.05). Similarly, the variable of mothers' attitudes and the nutritional status of infants showed results of Sig. (2-tailed) 0.591 (p > 0.05). Conclusion: It can be concluded that the knowledge and attitudes of mothers who attended the Toddler Mother Class had no significant relationship with the nutritional status of infants at the Jatijajar Community Health Centre in 2024.
