Abstract

Background:  Background: Stunting occurs in children aged 0-59 months, caused by nutritional problems during pregnancy or infancy. Therefore, nutrition in the first year of life, namely breast milk and complementary foods, must be considered early and from the first time it is given. Self-Efficacy is one of the factors that shape maternal behavior in supporting nutrition given to toddlers. Good self-efficacy can support the formation of stunting prevention behavior and can improve health. Self-efficacy is the mother's trust and confidence in carrying out complementary feeding activities, by providing food at the right time and in sufficient quantities, frequency, composition, and variety, providing safe food, creating a comfortable environment when eating, and providing appropriate responses to eating behavior in children. Purpose: To determine the relationship between maternal feeding self-efficacy (MP-ASI) and stunting prevention behavior in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center (Puskesmas) working area, Bekasi Regency. Methods:This study used a quantitative cross-sectional approach, using primary data. The study population was 119 mothers with toddlers in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center working area. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. Data collection used the CFSE and Stunting Prevention Behavior questionnaires. Data were analyzed using chi-square. Results:The relationship between feeding self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior obtained a p-value of 0.154 > α = 0.05. Conclusion: There was no relationship between maternal feeding self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior in the Kedung Waringin Community Health Center working area, Bekasi Regency.

Abstract

Background: Basic immunization is one of the most effective public health interventions to prevent infectious diseases and reduce morbidity and mortality among infants and young children. Despite the availability of immunization services, coverage rates in several regions of Indonesia have declined in recent years, indicating persistent challenges in immunization uptake. Maternal factors, particularly knowledge, attitudes, and behavior, play a crucial role in decision-making regarding childhood immunization. Inadequate knowledge, negative attitudes, and vaccine hesitancy among mothers may contribute to incomplete immunization, even when health services are accessible. Purpose: To analyze the relationship between mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding the importance of basic immunization for infants. Methods: This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design conducted at the Integrated Health Post (Posyandu) RT 002, Karangsatria Subdistrict, Bekasi Regency, Indonesia. Total of 117 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predefined inclusion criteria.  Data were analyzed using bivariate analysis using the chi-square test to examine relationships between variables. Ethical approval was obtained from the Ethics Committee of Bani Saleh Health College (No: EC.200/KEPK/STKBS/VII/2024). Results:  Bivariate analysis revealed a statistically significant relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes toward basic immunization (p = 0.008). However, no significant relationship was found between maternal knowledge and immunization behavior (p = 0.060), nor between maternal attitudes and immunization behavior (p = 0.348). Conclusion:  Maternal knowledge was significantly associated with attitudes toward basic immunization, whereas neither knowledge nor attitudes were significantly associated with immunization behavior, indicating that immunization practices are influenced by factors beyond individual cognition and attitudes.
