Abstract

Background: Anemia in pregnant women remains a health problem that can affect the health of both the mother and the fetus. One important factor in preventing anemia is the level of knowledge among pregnant women. Lack of knowledge can cause pregnant women to fail to recognize the signs and symptoms of anemia, which can result in delays in seeking health services and appropriate treatment. If anemia is not detected and treated early on, it can develop into severe anemia, which can increase the risk of pregnancy complications. This study aims to determine the effect of audiovisual media on anemia prevention in increasing the knowledge of pregnant women in the Ciwaruga community health center area. Methods: This study used a quantitative, pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test. The study sample consisted of 37 pregnant women selected using accidental sampling. Results: There was an increase in pregnant women’s knowledge of anemia prevention. The Wilcoxon test showed a difference in knowledge levels, with a p-value < 0.001 (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Audiovisual media were effective in increasing pregnant women’s knowledge about anemia.

Abstract

Background: Choking is a common condition in children and can be fatal if not treated quickly and appropriately. Mothers’ lack of knowledge about choking management increases the risk of complications and death, so education, especially about the Heimlich maneuver, is needed to increase knowledge and prevent child mortality. Objective: To determine the effect of audiovisual education on the Heimlich maneuver on mothers’ knowledge of choking management in children at RA Al-Hikmah. Methods: This was a quantitative study with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design. The sample consisted of 45 respondents, using a total sampling approach. A knowledge questionnaire was administered before and after the health education, and the changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: Mothers’ knowledge increased significantly after health education. Before the intervention, most mothers had low knowledge levels, but after education, knowledge levels increased significantly. The Wilcoxon test showed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating that health education significantly increased mothers’ knowledge. Conclusion: Audiovisual-based health education on the Heimlich maneuver is effective in improving mothers’ knowledge of choking management in children. This approach can be recommended as an alternative strategy in community-based health education programs to enhance early first aid preparedness.
