<![CDATA[Dental and oral health services for elementary school students aged 6 to 12 years have not been optimal. This shows that the implementation of SDHE has not succeeded. Monitoring and evaluation of the performance of SDHE are complex because the reporting system of SDHE all this time is conducted manually at the end of the year using a form combined with the report of the health center. The website-based SDHE management model is an information system that can be used to report the activities of SDHE directly and monitor and evaluate the activities of SDHE to fit the targets that have been set. The study aimed to develop the SDHE management model's innovations with relevant/appropriate information systems to increase the effectiveness and efficiency in the implementation of SDHE in elementary school students. Methods: Research and Development (R&D) and model trials using the technique of pre-experimental. The respondents amounted to 48 populations which consist of 24 dental therapists and 24 teachers, to assess the quality of SDHE management and the quality of information systems in the implementation of SDHE management. The result of the design of the model was tested for validation by an expert. The data were tested using paired difference test, proportion test, and linear regression test. Result: Validation by expert result the average value of 92, the category is very feasible, and with a p-value of 0,014. After the intervention, the E-SDHE information system's quality also improved compared to before (p = 0.001). Respondent's assessment stated that the quality of the E-SDHE information system in the excellent category. The SDHE management model of elementary schools based on the website provides a significant increase in SDHE management quality and the quality of information systems in the excellent category. The SDHE of website-based in this study can be used to evaluate elementary school health managemen]]>

<![CDATA[Abstract. Breast milk is the most exceptional nourishment for babies. Breast milk contains micro and macronutrients, antibodies, fat, and more than hundreds of kinds of supplements that are needed for babies' growth and development. The study aimed to examine the relationship between mothers' knowledge with exclusive breastfeeding behavior. We applied the cross-sectional study design in this study. The population is all mothers from the inpatient and outpatient departments. Using the accidental sampling technique, we involved 150 mothers during June - July 2019. The univariate analysis described the respondents' characteristics, mothers' knowledge, and exclusive breastfeeding behavior. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square analysis revealed a significant correlation between the mothers' knowledge and exclusive breastfeeding practice (p=0.011). Additionally, the study found that mothers who had low knowledge have the opportunity of 2.556 times to perform exclusive breastfeeding. The health education towards exclusively breastfeeding behavior is essential to established not only from the prenatal period but also in the postnatal period and continues until the second year of childbirth.
