Abstract

Correct breastfeeding techniques are an important factor in successful exclusive breastfeeding. Low knowledge of postpartum mothers about correct breastfeeding techniques is one of the causes of low exclusive breastfeeding coverage. This study aims to determine the effect of health education using the small group method on postpartum mothers' knowledge about correct breastfeeding techniques in the working area of the South Ponrang Health Center. The research design used a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design with total sampling technique. The research subjects were all postpartum mothers at the South Ponrang Health Center, totaling 30 people. The results showed that the average knowledge score of mothers before receiving health education was so it can be concluded that there is a significant effect of health education using the small group method on postpartum mothers' knowledge about correct breastfeeding techniques. It is hoped that health workers can increase socialization through counseling and distribution of leaflets about correct breastfeeding techniques on an ongoing basis.

Abstract

Smoking is a serious global health issue that contributes to various diseases and mortality. The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that the number of active smokers in Indonesia has reached 72,723,300 people and is projected to increase to 96,776,800 by 2025. Oral and dental health is an integral part of overall health, yet it is often overlooked in the context of smoking behavior. This study aims to determine the relationship between smokers’ level of knowledge and their oral and dental health status in Surutanga Subdistrict, Wara Timur District, Palopo City. The research employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A sample of 35 adult smokers aged 20–40 years was selected using total sampling. Data analysis using the Spearman Rank test showed a P-value of 0.002 (P < 0.005), indicating a significant relationship between smokers’ knowledge level and their oral and dental health status. The majority of respondents had moderate knowledge (57.1%) and experienced dental caries (91.4%). It is recommended that future studies cover a broader area and include additional variables such as smoking behavior, toothbrushing frequency, and dietary habits that influence oral and dental health.
