Introduction: Timor-Leste has the highest prevalence of stunting compared to countries in the Asia Region and the sixth highest rate globally. RAEOA is the highest stunting number three in Timor-Leste. Objective: The objective is to find out the Association between the mothers' Education level, Occupation, family income, Total number of families, and mothers' knowledge of stunting. Method: The research design used quantitative research with a survey design using a selective cross-sectional approach. The sample is mothers who have children under five years. Data were analyzed using SPSS. Chi-square test for the single association and linear regression for multivariate association. Result and Discussion: The results found that the Association between the mother’s education and occupation is not significant with stunting. The Association between Family Income, the Number of Families, and Mother’s Knowledge is significant with stunting. A strong association between the Mother's Education, Occupation, Family Income, number of Families, and Mother's Knowledge with stunting. Conclusion: Concluded that the role of mothers in the golden phase is very important to prevent stunting in children. It is recommended that the Health Center and District Health Service intervene with health promotion programs to increase knowledge, prepare healthy food practices, and work with related institutions to solve the problem of stunting in Timor-Leste

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a transition in a person’s life that changes from childhood to adulthood. Lack of knowledge of adolescent female students about the physical changes will cause anxiety, fear, shame, different feelings, and confusion. In this case, knowledge is the main component in shaping adolescent attitudes, inadequate knowledge will make adolescents tend to take the wrong attitude. Objective: The purpose of this study is to find out the relationship between the knowledge and attitude of adolescent female students to physical changes during puberty. The research design was a cross-sectional study. Method: The study population was 104 and a sample of 51 adolescent female students was taken using the proportional stratified random sampling technique. Result and Discussion: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge of adolescent female students (p-value = 0.012), and attitudes of adolescent female students (p-value = 0.000) to physical changes during puberty. Conclusion: It was concluded that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of adolescent female students to physical changes during puberty.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study aimed to determine the effect of audio-visual health education media on knowledge retention and compliance with personal protective equipment (PPE) use as a strategy to prevent occupational health risks among apple farmers in Kuala Pilah, Malaysia. Methodology: A pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was conducted involving 20 apple farmers selected through total sampling. Data were collected at four time points: baseline (T0), immediately after intervention (T1), one week (T2), and two weeks (T3) post-intervention. Knowledge was measured using a structured questionnaire, while PPE compliance was assessed through observation and self-report. Repeated measures analysis and paired categorical tests were applied with a significance level of p < 0.05. Main Findings: The mean knowledge score increased from 56.4 at baseline to 82.7 immediately after the intervention, and remained significantly higher at 78.9 (week 1) and 74.6 (week 2) (p < 0.001). PPE compliance improved from 30.0% at baseline to 70.0% post-intervention and was maintained at 70–75% during follow-up (p < 0.05). Novelty/Originality of this study: This study provides integrated evidence on both sustained knowledge retention and measurable behavioral compliance using repeated follow-up assessments in an agricultural occupational health context, demonstrating the effectiveness of audio-visual media beyond immediate learning outcomes.
