Abstract

In health research, many categorical variables are found that must be analyzed using descriptive statistical methods, then interpreted. Currently, there are still many health researchers who interpret categorical variable data in the health sector in the same way as social research in general, namely focusing on the categories with the largest proportions. In fact, for health research, researchers should focus on the expression of unexpected categories. Therefore, this should be a concern for the health research community, especially in the campus environment as the first place for students and health researchers to study and apply various types of health research. This is an urgency, so that the quality of health research can be immediately improved, especially in terms of data interpretation. It was concluded that there were many errors in interpreting categorical variable data in the health sector, so this had to be anticipated from the time of education on campus. Keywords: health research; categorical variables; data interpretation; unexpected category

Abstract

The development of the health sector, as part of national development, is directed toward improving the quality of human resources. One of the indicators of successful health development is the reduction of infant mortality rates and the improvement of community nutritional status. Optimal nutritional status can only be achieved when good nutritional practices are implemented at every stage of life, including during infancy . Failures in breastfeeding often stem from a lack of information. The study by Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati (2017) indicates that breastfeeding discussion classes can improve breastfeeding practices among breastfeeding mothers (Ambarwati, Setiyani, and Usnawati, 2017). Parents’ Education has also been shown to be effective in improving the knowledge and attitudes of primigravida couples regarding exclusive breastfeeding. Efforts to enhance knowledge and attitudes toward exclusive breastfeeding must be continuously strengthened and followed by an evaluation of exclusive breastfeeding practices (Usnawati, 2017). Based on these findings, it is necessary to establish a Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) and implement breastfeeding assistance programs. The establishment of KP-ASI and the breastfeeding assistance program will be carried out through the following strategies: Phase 1: Issuance of an official request letter from Sumberdodol Village for the formation of a breastfeeding support group. Educational materials will be provided to third-trimester pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers. Phase 2: Delivery of educational materials to Posyandu cadres, third-trimester pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers. The training session will be conducted once. The education session in the village is scheduled for Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Phase 3: Developing a meeting plan and activity schedule for the members and committee of the Breastfeeding Support Group (KP-ASI) for the following month.
