Abstract

Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and exclusive breastfeeding are maternal and child health interventions that play a crucial role in reducing the risk of neonatal infection, improving infant immune resilience, and supporting optimal public health. However, the lack of knowledge and skills of postpartum mothers remains a major barrier to implementing these practices. This Community Service (PKM) activity aims to improve postpartum mothers' knowledge and skills regarding Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and exclusive breastfeeding through a participatory learning-based educational program. The activity method includes a pretest, material delivery using interactive media, discussion and question-and-answer sessions, and demonstrations of correct breastfeeding positions and attachments. Evaluation was conducted through a posttest on knowledge and observation of breastfeeding practices. The activity results showed a significant increase in postpartum mothers' knowledge and improved ability to practice Early Initiation of Breastfeeding (IMD) and effective breastfeeding techniques. This increased knowledge and skills are supporting factors in the success of exclusive breastfeeding until six months of age and have the potential to reduce the risk of neonatal infection through colostrum provision and appropriate breastfeeding practices. This educational program contributes as a promotional and preventive effort to improve maternal and infant health and supports the strengthening of community-based health services.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescent anemia remains a significant public health concern affecting physical growth, cognitive performance, and long-term productivity. Despite ongoing school-based iron supplementation programs, preventive behaviors remain suboptimal. Behavioral determinants, particularly within the Knowledge Attitude Practice (KAP) framework, may explain this gap. This study aimed to identify factors associated with anemia preventive behavior among adolescents and to determine which behavioral determinant independently predicts preventive practice. Research Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 84 12th-grade students in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. Data were collected using a validated 15-item KAP questionnaire adapted from FAO guidelines. Descriptive statistics were applied, followed by Chi-square and Fisher’s Exact tests. Binary logistic regression was performed to identify independent predictors, with p < 0.05 as the threshold for statistical significance. Results: Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge (89.3%), positive attitudes (91.7%), and good preventive practices (70.2%). Bivariate analysis showed that attitude was significantly associated with preventive practice (p = 0.012), whereas knowledge was not (p = 0.293). Multivariate analysis confirmed that attitude remained the only independent predictor (OR = 6.624; p = 0.033). Adolescents with positive attitudes were 6.6 times more likely to demonstrate good preventive behavior. Conclusion: Attitude was independently associated with anemia-preventive behavior, whereas knowledge alone did not significantly influence practice. These findings imply that school-based and nursing interventions should prioritize strengthening positive attitudes and motivational engagement to promote sustainable anemia prevention behaviors.
