Abstract

Background: Stunting can occur as a result of malnutrition, especially during the first 1000 days of life (HPK). Poor nutrition during pregnancy, growth, and early childhood can cause children to become stunted. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between feeding patterns and nutritional status in stunted toddlers at the North Klaten Community Health Center in Klaten Regency.  Methods: This study used an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional approach. The study population consisted of all mothers with stunted toddlers, totaling 234 people, using proportional stratified random sampling, resulting in a sample of 71 respondents. The research instruments used were the CFQ (Child Feeding Questionnaire) and anthropometric observation sheets. The validity and reliability of the instruments had been tested in previous studies. Data were analyzed univariately and bivariately using the chi-square test.  Results: The results showed that most feeding patterns were inappropriate (69%) and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers was classified as short (56.3%). The chi-square test obtained a p-value of 0.004 (p<0.05), which means that there is a significant relationship between feeding patterns and the nutritional status of stunted toddlers.  Conclusion: The study shows that the more appropriate the feeding patterns applied by mothers, the better the nutritional status of their children. Health workers need to improve education for mothers about the importance of feeding patterns appropriate for their children's age and involve nutritionists and posyandu cadres in monitoring toddler growth.

Abstract

The validity and reliability test of the spiritual needs instrument for pregnant women has never been conducted, where spiritual needs are important to develop a coping mechanism for adaptation during pregnancy. The purpose of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the spiritual needs instrument for pregnant women. The validity test was conducted by distributing questionnaires to 35 pregnant women during August - September 2024. The spiritual needs instrument used is based on the Patients Spiritual Needs Assessment Scale using a 5-point Likert scale, namely very inappropriate (score 0), inappropriate, not sure, appropriate, and very appropriate (score 4). Pearson correlation test of 38 statements of Spiritual Instrument of Pregnant Women showed that there were 33 valid statements with r count ≥ 0.256 (r: -0.036-0.641) and 6 invalid statements with r count < 0.256 (r: - 0.036). The Cronbach Alpha value with the smallest Cronbach Alpha value if the item is deleted is 0.890 and the highest value is 0.908. This instrument can validate and measure spiritual needs accurately, so that midwives can provide midwifery care by utilizing spiritual potential to facilitate the spiritual adaptation of pregnant women which varies in each trimester

Abstract

Background: Low rates of exclusive breastfeeding in Indonesia remain a public health issue due to mothers' lack of knowledge and positive attitudes towards the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Based on initial observations in the working area of the Banyuanyar Surakarta Community Health Centre, many mothers are still not breastfeeding exclusively as recommended by the WHO. This community service activity aims to increase breastfeeding mothers' knowledge and attitudes about the importance of exclusive breastfeeding through education using video media delivered via the WhatsApp application. Methods: The partners in this activity were breastfeeding mothers in the working area of the Banyuanyar Surakarta Community Health Centre, with a total of 45 participants. The activity was carried out in three stages, namely programme socialisation, video-based education, and interactive discussions through a WhatsApp group. The educational material covered the definition of exclusive breastfeeding, its benefits for mothers and babies, proper breastfeeding techniques, and how to maintain milk production. Evaluation was conducted using questionnaires before and after the activity to assess the increase in knowledge and attitudes of breastfeeding mothers. Results: The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' knowledge of 40.3%, from an average score of 13.78 to 19.33, as well as an increase in positive attitudes towards exclusive breastfeeding of 25.7%, from an average score of 54.47 to 68.51. Conclusion: This activity proves that education through video media via WhatsApp is effective in improving the soft skills and awareness of breastfeeding mothers about exclusive breastfeeding. This programme can be used as a model for efficient and easily implemented digital-based health education at the primary care level.
