Abstract

The current percentage of exclusive breastfeeding in West Sumatra is still below the national rate. Teenage mothers contribute to the low percentage of exclusive breastfeeding coverage. Young age is one of the factors that make it difficult to maintain breastfeeding behavior. The purpose of this study was to interpret the breastfeeding process among adolescent mothers. This study used a qualitative research design with an interpretative phenomenological approach to explore the breastfeeding process of adolescent mothers. Data were collected through in-depth interviews using semi-structured questions and analyzed with thematic analysis by using a seven-step interpretative phenomenological analysis approach. The results identified five themes, namely: 1) perceived support from health workers, 2) reasons for teenage mothers to give other foods/drinks besides breast milk, 3) teenage mothers' perceptions of family support in breastfeeding, 4) emotional feelings of teenage mothers when breastfeeding, and 5) obstacles encountered by teenage mothers when breastfeeding. The practice of breastfeeding by adolescent mothers provides an understanding that breastfeeding in adolescence has many challenges and barriers. Appropriate intervention strategies are needed to improve the understanding of adolescent mothers during the breastfeeding process so that breastfeeding success is achieved.

Abstract

Children are a vulnerable group in disasters due to their limited physical strength, susceptibility to illness, and emotional instability. Reducing vulnerability is essential for protecting children during disasters, and one crucial factor in their preparedness is disaster education. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of flood disaster preparedness training on improving elementary school students’ preparedness in dealing with flash floods. A pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest approach was employed, involving 50 students from SDN 23 Guguak Randah. The intervention consisted of a 60-minute training session using lectures, discussions, videos, and disaster simulations. Disaster education plays a significant role in raising children's awareness about disasters and their risk perception. Students’ knowledge was assessed using a validated 10-item questionnaire before and after the intervention. The data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed an increase in the mean knowledge score from 69.20 (SD = 17.71) before training to 80.40 (SD = 15.53) after training (z = 4.089, p < .0001). These findings demonstrate that flood preparedness training significantly enhances students’ knowledge and awareness of disaster preparedness. Disaster education programs for children have been considered an innovative approach to disaster risk reduction The use of lecture-based methods, complemented by simulations, can significantly improve students' comprehension of the concepts and materials being taught. Routine implementation of disaster preparedness programs in schools, in collaboration with the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD), is recommended to strengthen children’s resilience and readiness for future disasters.

Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends introducing complementary foods at six months of age, while continuing breastfeeding up to two years or beyond. However, early or delayed initiation remains common, contributing to nutritional problems in developing countries. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of timely initiation of complementary feeding (CF) and identify sociodemographic factors associated with early introduction of complementary feeding among mothers of infants aged 6-23 months in Padang, Indonesia. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 244 mothers of infants aged 6–24 months. Data were collected using structured questionnaires covering sociodemographic characteristics and the time for introduction ofcomplementary feeding. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 25, descriptive statistics described the prevalence of timely initiation, bivariate logistic regression assessed the relationship between sociodemographic factors and early initiation of CF. Most mothers (89.8%) initiated complementary feeding at the recommended age of 6–8 months, 9.0% introduced foods before six months, and 1.2% after eight months. Early initiation was significantly associated with maternal education level (p = 0.006), and grandmothers as source information (p = 0.010), where mothers with lower education were more likely to introduce foods prematurely (AOR = 3.39, 95% CI: 1.02–11.32). Mothers who received information from grandmothers were more likely to introduce CF on time (AOR = 2.73, 95% CI: 1.06–6.98). The study highlights the importance of education and family influence on infant feeding practices and recommends strengthening health education for mothers, especially those with lower education, to improve adherence to CF guidelines.

Abstract

Malnutrition and delayed child growth remain critical challenges in Indonesia, primarily driven by low maternal nutritional literacy and inadequate early stimulation. Addressing these issues is vital to reduce the high stunting prevalence and improve child development outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the SDIDTK-Isi Piringku (Stimulation, Detection, and Early Intervention - My Plate) model using a quasi-experimental pre-post test design without control. The intervention was conducted on 30 mothers of children under two years old and Posyandu cadres at Bungus Health Center, Padang City. The results demonstrated a significant enhancement in maternal knowledge and attitudes regarding child growth, leading to a 45% increase in nutritional literacy. Furthermore, the intervention successfully strengthened family-community collaboration. In conclusion, the SDIDTK-Isi Piringku community-based model is proven effective in empowering mothers. This model serves as a strategic prototype for local policies to prevent stunting and supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2, 3, and 4.
