Abstract

Nutritional problems remain a serious challenge in global public health, including in Indonesia. Malnutrition and unbalanced nutritional consumption often contribute to various health problems, such as stunting in children, obesity, and non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension.The Internet, social media, health apps, and other digital tools provide opportunities to inform the public about the importance of proper nutrition and offer practical strategies for adopting healthy eating patterns.This study aims to explore the role of ICT in improving community nutrition awareness and practices, and to analyze how the use of technology can support nutrition interventions more effectively.This study uses a quantitative approach. The qualitative approach was used to gain a deeper understanding of the experiences, perceptions, and barriers experienced by the community and health workers in using ICT for nutrition education.The sample of this study included 10 respondents for the quantitative part, which were divided into 5 treatment groups and 5 control groups. The study was conducted at the Batang Kuranji Health Center which was implemented in June 2024. The results in both groups before the provision of educational media tended to be lower in the control group (infographics) and the treatment group (web), with a comparison of poor attitude results of 60%-40%. Community attitudes towards the use of IT in improving nutrition practices showed varied responses.

Abstract

Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) remain major health challenges in developing countries, driven by socioeconomic disparities, limited education, and poor healthcare access. Lack of knowledge about prenatal care is a key factor. This review examines the impact of health education on reducing maternal and infant mortality and provides evidence to support stronger health programs and policies.Findings show that health education enhances pregnant women’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to pregnancy and infant care. Prenatal checkups help detect anemia, malnutrition, hypertension, and infections, allowing early intervention. Education also reduces anxiety, supports mental health, and improves birth outcomes.Despite its benefits, implementation faces barriers such as limited resources, insufficient healthcare personnel, poor access in remote areas, and cultural or socioeconomic constraints.In conclusion, health education is an effective strategy to reduce maternal and infant mortality. Developing culturally appropriate, sustainable, and accessible programs is essential to strengthen maternal services and improve outcomes for mothers and infants.
