Abstract

Hepatitis, an inflammation of the liver caused by a virus, accounts for 1.1 million deaths globally each year, with 96% caused by hepatitis B and C. The National Program prioritizes the Prevention of Mother-to-Child Transmission (PPIA), as 95% of hepatitis B transmissions occur vertically. Health education, which aims to change unhealthy behaviors, is more effective when supported by educational media such as pocket books, which are small, informative, visually appealing, and easy to carry, allowing individuals to access the material anytime. This study aimed to analyze the effect of health education using pocket books on Hepatitis B knowledge among brides-to-be at the Pahauman Community Health Center in Landak District. A quasi-experimental design with a pre-post test without a control group was employed, involving 31 female brides-to-be selected through total sampling. Participants received health education via pocket books, and their knowledge of Hepatitis B was assessed before and after the intervention. The results showed that after the intervention, the average knowledge score was 93.10, with a median of 90 and a standard deviation of 6.231, ranging from 80 to 100. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant improvement in knowledge, with a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05). In conclusion, health education using pocket books significantly enhanced the knowledge of prospective brides regarding Hepatitis B at the Pahauman Community Health Center in Landak District.

Abstract

Malnutrition contributes to morbidity, mortality, disability, and reduced national human resource quality. Adequate nutrition during infancy is essential for optimal growth, with exclusive breastfeeding recommended for the first six months and continued breastfeeding with nutritious complementary foods thereafter. In 2017, exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Mempawah District was only 60.7%, and the Wajok Hulu Community Health Center had the lowest rate at 24.1%, indicating many infants received complementary foods too early. This study aimed to examine the relationship between complementary feeding and the nutritional status of infants aged 6–11 months in Wajok Hulu Village. Using a retrospective case–control design with 64 infants, results showed that most infants had good nutritional status despite receiving inappropriate complementary feeding. The study concluded that there was no significant relationship between complementary feeding practices and nutritional status (p = 0.337), suggesting that other factors may play a greater role in determining infant nutrition.
