Abstract

The study purpose was to examine the role of husband support in the success of exclusive breastfeeding among mothers of infants aged 0–6 months. Despite strong recommendations by the World Health Organization (WHO) for exclusive breastfeeding during the first six months of life, global and national coverage—particularly in Indonesia—remains below target. Among various determinants, husband support has emerged as a significant psychosocial and environmental factor influencing breastfeeding practices. This literature review synthesizes empirical findings from 25 peer-reviewed studies published between 2015 and 2025, aiming to identify the forms of husband support most strongly associated with exclusive breastfeeding success and to analyze the theoretical frameworks that explain this relationship. Materials and methods. A systematic literature review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Databases including PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, Google Scholar, and Garuda were searched using keywords such as husband support, exclusive breastfeeding, and breastfeeding self-efficacy. Studies were included if they examined husband involvement in exclusive breastfeeding and were published in English or Bahasa Indonesia within the last decade. Results. The findings revealed that emotional and instrumental support were the most influential factors in maintaining exclusive breastfeeding, while informational and appraisal support enhanced maternal confidence and motivation. Husband participation in antenatal education and shared household responsibilities significantly increased breastfeeding duration and exclusivity rates. Conclusions. Husband support plays a pivotal role in promoting and sustaining exclusive breastfeeding. Integrating men into family-centered breastfeeding education and policy interventions is essential to improve maternal and infant health outcomes.

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in Aceh Province, which recorded a prevalence of 28.6% in 2024. This study employs a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore maternal perceptions and barriers toward stunting prevention in Gele Lah Village, Central Aceh Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and secondary document reviews involving eight primary informants and two key informants between January and February 2025, with analysis conducted using the Colaizzi method. The findings identified eight stunted toddlers and revealed primary barriers including the normalization of the condition through genetic attribution, social stigma associated with the stunting label, the practice of feeding "bu pisang" before six months of age, economic constraints, and poor sanitation; notably, one concrete case of an intergenerational malnutrition cycle was also identified. Effective interventions require culturally sensitive communication, the integration of local wisdom, the strengthening of the DASHAT program, and holistic assistance for at-risk families. Study limitations include limited transferability, a small informant sample, and reliance on secondary anthropometric data. Future research is recommended to utilize a broader mixed-methods design that incorporates paternal perspectives and standardized primary anthropometric measurements.
