Abstract

Introduction: Education plays a crucial role in empowering mothers with the knowledge necessary to optimize the care and development of their toddlers. Understanding the impact of health education on maternal knowledge is essential to improve health outcomes for young children and support effective parenting practices. Objective: This study aims to analyze the effect of health education on the knowledge levels of mothers with toddlers. Method: This study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. The population consisted of mothers with children under five years old (toddlers), with a sample of 33 participants selected through accidental sampling. The study was conducted in Wado, Sumedang Regency, from March 20 to April 20, 2024. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test to evaluate the effect of health education on maternal knowledge. Result: The results of this study indicated an increase in the knowledge of mothers with toddlers, from a moderate category (48.5%) to a good category (90.9%). The P-value obtained was 0.000 (˂ 0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on stunting prevention on maternal knowledge. Conclusion: This study concludes that health education significantly enhances maternal knowledge about stunting prevention, with a shift from moderate to good understanding. These findings highlight the effectiveness of health education as a key intervention in improving maternal awareness. Integrating structured health education programs into community healthcare strategies is essential to reducing stunting prevalence and promoting better child health outcomes.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a critical public health issue caused by chronic malnutrition, particularly during the first 1,000 days of life, leading to irreversible impacts on child growth and development.

Methods: This study employed a cross-sectional design to assess the knowledge level of pregnant women about stunting. The population consisted of all pregnant women in Mulyajaya, Sumedang Regency, with total sampling used to recruit participants. Data collection took place from March 14 to May 14. The data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions with the assistance of SPSS software.

Abstract

Introduction: Children with intellectual disabilities require more intensive and continuous caregiving, which often places significant psychological and emotional burdens on mothers, who typically serve as the primary caregivers. The demands associated with caregiving responsibilities—ranging from managing daily activities to addressing complex emotional and behavioral needs—can result in elevated levels of maternal stress. Prolonged exposure to such stress may adversely affect a mother's physical and psychological well-being, ultimately impacting her overall quality of life. One of the contributing factors that may alleviate this burden is the active involvement of fathers in caregiving tasks. Paternal involvement is believed to offer both emotional reassurance and practical support, which can significantly ease the caregiving load carried by mothers. Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between paternal involvement in caregiving and maternal stress levels among families raising children with intellectual disabilities. Method: A correlational study design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The sample consisted of 49 mothers recruited using a total sampling technique. Instruments used in this research were developed by modifying the Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) to measure paternal involvement and adopting the Parental Stress Scale to assess maternal stress. Data were analyzed using the Spearman rank correlation test with a significance level of 0.05. Result: Findings revealed that 33 mothers (67.3%) reported high paternal involvement, 11 (22.4%) moderate, and 5 (10.2%) low. Regarding maternal stress levels, 22 mothers (44.9%) experienced low stress, while 27 (55.1%) experienced moderate stress. No respondents reported high stress. Conclusion: Statistical analysis showed a significant positive correlation between paternal involvement and reduced maternal stress levels (r = 0.088; p = 0.048). These results suggest that increased paternal engagement in caregiving contributes to lower maternal stress and better maternal well-being.
