Abstract

To evaluate the effectiveness of educational interventions and demonstrations of balanced nutrition menus on increasing the knowledge of mothers of toddlers. This study used a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design of one group pretest-posttest design. The participants were mothers who had children aged 0-5 years and actively participated in Posyandu activities in the local Puskesmas work area. Before and after the intervention, the level of knowledge of respondents was measured using a validated questionnaire instrument, containing 20 multiple-choice questions about the concept of balanced nutritional, types of food, balanced portions, and toddler food processing techniques. The results of the inferential analysis using the paired sample t-test showed that there was a significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.05). Community-based nutrition education programs accompanied by direct demonstrations are highly recommended as a strategy to increase community nutrition literacy, especially in efforts to prevent toddler nutrition problems such as stunting and malnutrition.

Abstract

The activity and participation level of Posyandu cadres are expected to have a significant impact on community involvement in Posyandu activities. In implementing Posyandu activities, the availability of an adequate number of cadres is a key factor in ensuring that the entire range of services can run optimally. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors causing the inactivity of Posyandu cadres. The research design used in this study was cross-sectional. The research was conducted in 10 Posyandu. The research was conducted in January 2025. The population consisted of all cadres from 10 predetermined Posyandu. The sample consisted of 115 people. The sampling technique used purposive sampling. The research instrument used a research questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate methods. The results showed a relationship between knowledge (p value: 0.034) and intensity (p value: 0.00) and cadre activity. It is recommended that cadres increase their awareness of the importance of their role in Posyandu and that cadres are needed, so that strong support and commitment from local governments are required to empower cadres as health workers. Keywords: Cadre, Intensive, Knowledge.
