Abstract

Suboptimal growth and development in children can have adverse effects on health. This study aimed to determine the effect of developmental stimulation assistance using booklet media on the development of preschool-aged children in the working area of Samudra Public Health Center. This research was a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 23 mothers with children aged 4–5 years, selected using accidental sampling. The research instruments included a questionnaire, the KPSP (Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire), and a booklet. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that family assistance using booklet media had a significant effect on both child development (p = 0.000) and maternal knowledge (p = 0.000). The study concludes that developmental stimulation assistance through booklet media significantly affects both the developmental status of preschool-aged children and maternal knowledge.

Abstract

The Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Book includes health records of both mother and child from pregnancy through the child’s fifth year, and functions as a communication tool among healthcare providers, pregnant women, and their families. Strengthening the use of the MCH Book among mothers aims to enhance their understanding of its function in health monitoring and as a source of health information. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of facilitated use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Book on pregnant women's health service-seeking behavior during pregnancy within the working area of Banda Sakti Health Center. This study utilized a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test model. The research was conducted within the working area of the Banda Sakti Public Health Center. A total of 52 pregnant women were selected as participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire, and statistical analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The findings indicated that guided use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Book significantly improved pregnant women's knowledge and health-seeking behaviors during pregnancy.
