Abstract

Background: Chronic energy deficiency (CED) among pregnant women remains one of the nutritional problems contributing to an increased risk of pregnancy complications, low birth weight, and stunting. One approach that can be taken is to empower families by utilizing locally available plant-based foods with high nutritional value, such as moringa leaves. The GELORA NABATI Program (Family-Based Natural Plant-Based Local Food Movement) was developed as a community service innovation to improve families’ knowledge, skills, and participation in preventing CED among pregnant women. Objective: To improve knowledge, skills in processing local plant-based foods, and family involvement in meeting the nutritional needs of pregnant women at risk of KEK in the service area of the Wara Selatan Community Health Center in Palopo City. Methods: The community service activities employed a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach through health education sessions, training in local food processing, cooking classes, family mentoring, as well as monitoring and evaluation. The target participants were 30 pregnant women at risk of KEK and their accompanying family members. Evaluation was conducted using pretest–posttest assessments, skill observations, and activity documentation. Results: The participants’ average knowledge score increased from 61.20 to 87.40 after the intervention. The proportion of households with “good” local food processing skills increased from 16.7% before the training to 83.3% after the training. A total of 90.0% of families expressed a commitment to continue utilizing local foods to meet the nutritional needs of pregnant women. In addition, a group of GELORA NABATI cadres was formed to serve as local leaders who support the program’s sustainability within the community. Conclusion: The GELORA NABATI program effectively enhances the capacity of pregnant women and their families to utilize plant-based local foods as a means of preventing chronic energy deficiency (CED) and has the potential to serve as a community empowerment model that can be replicated in other regions.

Abstract

Background: Knowledge of pregnant women about nutrition is an important factor that influences the behavior of meeting nutritional needs during pregnancy. Low knowledge can increase the risk of chronic energy deficiency (CED), anemia, low birth weight (LBW), and stunting. One effort that can be done to improve the knowledge of pregnant women is through mentoring and health education based on local wisdom that utilizes the potential of local culture and food so that it is more easily accepted by the community. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of mentoring and health education based on local wisdom on changes in knowledge about nutrition of pregnant women at the Wara Selatan Community Health Center, Palopo City in 2026. Method: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one group pretest-posttest design approach. The study was conducted at the Wara Selatan Community Health Center, Palopo City in May–June 2026. The study population was all 44 pregnant women who visited the Wara Selatan Community Health Center. The sample was determined using a total sampling technique so that 44 respondents were obtained. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire on knowledge about nutrition of pregnant women before and after the intervention. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test with a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: Before the intervention, the majority of respondents had poor knowledge (47.7%), while after the intervention, the majority were in the sufficient (45.4%) and good (43.2%) categories. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test results showed a Z value of -5.014 with Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) = 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant difference in knowledge before and after the intervention. Conclusion: Local wisdom-based health education and mentoring significantly improved nutritional knowledge among pregnant women at the Wara Selatan Community Health Center in Palopo City. This intervention model can be used as an innovation in antenatal care to improve the knowledge of pregnant women and support efforts to prevent CED, anemia, low birth weight (LBW), and stunting during the first 1,000 days of life.
