Abstract

Introduction: Maternal nutrition plays a fundamental role in ensuring optimal fetal growth and development. Inadequate nutrient intake during pregnancy increases the risk of complications such as low birth weight, preterm birth, and developmental delays. This study examines the nutritional status of pregnant women and its impact on fetal development, with a focus on dietary practices and maternal perceptions of nutrition. Methods: This qualitative study involved in-depth interviews with 20 pregnant women selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using semi-structured interview guides and analyzed through thematic content analysis. The study focused on participants’ nutritional knowledge, dietary behaviors, access to nutritious foods, and perceptions of fetal development. Results: Findings revealed three major themes: (1) Maternal nutritional awareness, where most participants had basic knowledge of essential nutrients but lacked detailed understanding of recommended dietary intake; (2) Dietary practices and influencing factors, showing that meal patterns were often inconsistent due to socioeconomic constraints, food aversions, and cultural beliefs; and (3) Perceived impact on fetal development, with participants acknowledging the importance of nutrition but demonstrating limited ability to maintain balanced diets. Poor nutritional status was commonly associated with symptoms such as fatigue, inadequate weight gain, and concerns about fetal growth. Conclusion: The study concludes that suboptimal nutritional status among pregnant women may have a negative impact on fetal development. Improving maternal nutrition requires targeted educational interventions, enhanced access to nutritious foods, and culturally appropriate health counseling. Collaboration between healthcare providers, families, and community programs is essential to promote healthier dietary behaviors during pregnancy. Further research is recommended to explore effective strategies for improving maternal dietary adherence.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a serious public health problem, especially in developing countries, and can long-term impact children's physical and cognitive development. The nutritional status of pregnant women plays an important role in the growth and development of the fetus, which can affect the risk of stunting in children after birth. This study aims to analyze the influence of the nutritional status of pregnant women on the incidence of stunting in early childhood. Research Methodology: This study uses a cohort study design involving pregnant women and their children under five years old. Data were collected through interviews, anthropometric measurements, and laboratory analysis to assess the mother's nutritional status, including macro and micronutrient intake. Result: The analysis showed a significant relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in children. Pregnant women with good nutritional status have a lower risk of giving birth to stunted children compared to pregnant women who are malnourished. In addition, factors such as maternal education, economic status, and access to health services also contribute to the incidence of stunting. Conclusion: This study emphasizes the importance of adequate nutrition during pregnancy to prevent stunting in early childhood. Appropriate nutritional interventions and increased awareness of the importance of nutrition during pregnancy are urgently needed to improve maternal and child health. Recommendations for public health programs and nutrition policies were also discussed to address the stunting problem.

Abstract

Menopause is a natural stage of women’s lives that is often accompanied by physical, psychological, and metabolic changes, including increased risks of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular disease. This community engagement program aimed to improve menopausal women’s knowledge and awareness through integrated health education and basic screening in Kampung Beru Village, Galesong District, Takalar Regency, Indonesia. The activity involved 24 menopausal women and was conducted using lectures, discussions, pretest–posttest assessment, blood pressure measurement, blood glucose testing, anthropometric assessment, body mass index calculation, and individual counseling based on screening results. The findings showed that all participants experienced an increase in knowledge after the educational intervention, with 24 positive ranks and no negative ranks or ties. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test demonstrated a statistically significant improvement between pretest and posttest scores (Z = −3.314; p = 0.001). Participants also showed high enthusiasm and active involvement throughout the program. The activity increased understanding of menopausal health, encouraged routine health screening, and supported early identification of degenerative disease risk factors. In conclusion, community-based health education combined with simple screening is an effective approach to strengthening health literacy, promoting preventive behavior, and supporting healthier ageing among menopausal women in rural communities and primary care.
