Abstract

Postpartum maternal health services are routinely administered to postpartum mothers four times daily. In reaction to the COVID-19 pandemic, modifications have transpired in healthcare services, encompassing postpartum maternal health. Virtual homecare services facilitate remote interaction with patients without utilizing healthcare services. This study aims to assess the impact of virtual postpartum maternal classes on knowledge, early detection skills, and treatment-seeking behaviors. This study employs a quantitative methodology utilizing a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design. A virtual postpartum mothers’ class program was conducted every two weeks for three months. The total population consists of 109 individuals, while the purposive sample comprises 32 individuals. Data acquisition through questionnaires (pre-tests and post-tests). Conduct an analysis of the data utilizing the Wilcoxon signed ranks test. The study's findings demonstrate a substantial impact of virtual postpartum mother class mentoring on knowledge levels (p = 0.000), early detection of complications by postpartum mothers (p = 0.001), and treatment-seeking behavior (p = 0.001). The introduction of virtual postpartum maternal classes significantly enhances postpartum mothers' knowledge, their capacity to identify postpartum complications, and their propensity to seek treatment.

Abstract

The role of mothers is very strategic in preventing stunting through fulfilling nutritional needs during pregnancy, providing exclusive breastfeeding, implementing balanced nutritional complementary feeding (MP-ASI), and regularly monitoring child growth and development. Mothers also play a role in maintaining environmental cleanliness, accessing basic health services (ANC, immunization, iron supplementation), and implementing responsive parenting practices. Objective: This Community Service Program aims to improve mother’s knowledge in preventing and managing stunting through nutrition education, growth and development monitoring. Methods: The methods used in this program included screening, lectures, and discussions, with sequential stages consisting of field observation and problem identification, proposing solutions, activity planning, implementation, and evaluation. Activities were carried out through interactive counseling sessions, demonstrations of growth monitoring, and screening or detection of child growth status. Results: The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge. The proportion of mothers with knowledge increased from 30% to 90% after receiving the educational intervention. Conclusion: The educational activities implemented were proven effective in strengthening mothers’ capacity in stunting prevention and have the potential to reduce stunting risk at the household and community levels. Structured and targeted education needs to be continuously enhanced as part of strategies to accelerate stunting prevention.
