Abstract

Background: Wasting, an acute nutritional deficiency, is assessed using weight-for-height with a z-score of <-2SD from growth standards. The prevalence of wasting in Puskesmas Kendit is 14.31%, with Kukusan Village at 29%. Objectives: This study examined the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding, Complementary Feeding (CF), infectious diseases, and wasting in young children. Methods: Conducted with a cross-sectional design, the study sampled 51 toddlers through simple random sampling and analyzed the data using Spearman's correlation. Results: Findings revealed no significant correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and wasting (p-value=0.105). However, there was a significant correlation between CF and wasting (p-value=0.026). Nutrient intake, including energy (p-value<0.001), protein (p-value<0.001), fat (p-value=0.002), and carbohydrates (p-value=0.025), was significantly correlated with wasting, as was the presence of infectious diseases (p-value=0.001). Conclusions: While exclusive breastfeeding tends to reduce wasting, appropriate CF and adequate intake of energy, protein, fat, and carbohydrates are associated with a lower prevalence of wasting. Recommended actions include improving exclusive breastfeeding practices, enhancing the quality of CF, and increasing preventive measures for infectious diseases.

Abstract

Background: Complementary feeding is crucial for children's growth and development, especially between the ages of 6 to 24 months. Adequate nutritional intake during this period can prevent long-term health issues, such as stunting and obesity. However, many mothers struggle with providing appropriate complementary feeding due to a lack of knowledge and inappropriate feeding practices. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Emotional Demonstration (Emo Demo) method in improving maternal knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to complementary feeding. Methods: Using a pretest-posttest control group design, 100 mothers with children aged 6 to 24 months were assigned to one of three groups: control (lecture), demonstration, and Emo Demo. Data were collected via questionnaires and observational assessments at multiple intervals to measure the sustainability of behavior changes. Statistical analyses, including ANOVA and Least Significant Difference (LSD) tests, revealed that the Emo Demo method significantly enhanced knowledge, attitudes, and feeding practices compared to traditional methods. Results: The study found no significant demographic differences between groups. ANOVA showed significant improvements in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior (p-value<0.05). LSD analysis revealed significant changes in the Emo Demo group (p-value=0.010 for knowledge and behavior, p-value=0.028 for attitude), indicating its effectiveness in improving complementary feeding practices. Conclusions: Innovative and emotionally engaging methods like Emo Demo can effectively address the challenges of complementary feeding, ultimately contributing to public health efforts to reduce stunting in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to refine educational strategies for improving maternal nutrition practices in diverse communities.
