Abstract

Newborn are susceptible to illness and malnutrition, making proper infant feeding feeding practice crucial,, particularly the exclusive breastfeeding. According to the Precede-Proceed theory, health related behavior, including breastfeeding, are influenced by predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors. This study aimed to examine the relationship between these factors with the exclusive breastfeeding practice among mothers attending the Neglasari Public Health Center, Tangerang City. This study was conducted in July-October 2023 in the Neglasari Public Health Center area. A cross-sectional study design with accidental sampling technique was employed. Data was collected through interview on 105 breastfeeding mothers who had toddlers aged 7-24 months. The association between the breastfeeding practice and independent variables were assessed using chi-square test. Findings revealed that 35.2% of the respondents provided exclusive breastfeeding. Significant association were found between the exclusive breastfeeding practice and maternal knowledge (p-value = 0.008), occupation (p-value = 0.021), age (p-value = 0.044), and parity (p value = 0.004). These results suggest that educational and support interventions tailored to mothers’ age, employment status, knowledge level, and parity could enhance exclusive breastfeeding practices.   Keywords: Maternal age, Exclusive Breastfeeding, Knowledge, Occupation, Parity

Abstract

Background: Iron deficiency anemia (IDA) is a significant public health issue due to its prevalence and numerous contributing factors, specifically among female adolescents. Objective: The study aimed to examine the influence of knowledge and attitude on IDA prevention practice among female adolescents in Bogor City, Indonesia. Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out among 20 junior high schools in Bogor City, Indonesia. A total of 1.410 female students were selected through a non-probability sampling method. The Spearman rank correlation test was then used to examine the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding IDA prevention. Results: The results showed that the average scores for knowledge, attitude, and practice were 5.92 (out of 15), 11.56 (out of 15), and 8.95 (out of 12), respectively. In addition, knowledge had a significant correlation with attitude (p-value = 0.001, r = 0.185), and attitude showed a significant correlation with practice (p-value = 0.005, r = 0.075). Conclusion: The limited understanding of female students concerning IDA may influence their attitude and practice towards its prevention. This indicates that the implementation of diverse strategies is essential to enhance understanding of anemia, thereby improving prevention behavior.
