Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia, strongly associated with inadequate nutrition during the early stages of life. Exclusive breastfeeding is recognized as one of the most effective interventions to prevent stunting. However, breastfeeding practices are influenced by maternal knowledge, attitudes, and family support. The Family Centered Maternity Care (FCMC) approach emphasizes family involvement in maternal and child health, aiming to improve breastfeeding practices and child nutrition. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effect of FCMC-based education on breastfeeding practices and mothers’ perceptions of fulfilling children’s nutritional needs as an effort to prevent stunting. Methods: A mixed-method design was applied, combining quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative phase used a randomized controlled trial involving 100 postpartum mothers divided into intervention and control groups. The intervention group received FCMC-based education, while the control group did not. Data were collected using structured questionnaires on breastfeeding practices, knowledge, attitudes, and family support, complemented by semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Results: The majority of respondents were <18 years old, had basic education, and 65% were employed. Most mothers had good knowledge (59%), good attitudes (61%), and adequate family support (54%). Breastfeeding was reported by 68% of participants. Statistical analysis showed that mothers in the intervention group were almost four times more likely to have a good perception of fulfilling child nutrition compared to the control group (OR = 3.881; 95% CI: 1.561–9.650; p = 0.005). Qualitative findings highlighted the role of family involvement, especially from husbands, in supporting breastfeeding practices. Conclusion: FCMC-based education significantly improves mothers’ perceptions of child nutrition and enhances breastfeeding practices. Integrating FCMC into maternal health programs is recommended as a sustainable strategy to support exclusive breastfeeding and prevent stunting in Indonesia.

Abstract

Background: Stunting remains a major public health problem in low- and middle-income countries, including Indonesia, where maternal age, education, knowledge, and perception play pivotal roles in child nutrition and growth outcomes. Objective: This study aimed to assess maternal characteristics, knowledge, and perceptions related to breastfeeding and nutrition, and to evaluate the effect of visualization techniques on improving maternal perception of child nutrition in the prevention of stunting. Methods: A cross-sectional design was applied involving 100 mothers as respondents. Data were collected on maternal age, education, employment status, knowledge of breastfeeding and stunting, and perception of child nutrition. An intervention using visualization techniques was conducted, and its effect on maternal perception was analyzed using chi-square tests and risk estimates with 95% confidence intervals. Results: Nearly half of the respondents were adolescent mothers (<18 years, 48%), while 45% had only basic education. A majority of mothers demonstrated good knowledge about breastfeeding and stunting (68%) and positive perceptions of nutrition (65%). However, knowledge and perception gaps remained among those with lower education. The use of visualization techniques significantly improved maternal perception of nutrition (p = 0.003), with mothers in the intervention group being four times more likely to report good perception compared to controls (OR = 4.0; 95% CI: 1.647–9.715). Conclusion: Maternal characteristics, particularly young age and low educational attainment, remain challenges for effective stunting prevention. Visualization-based education is an effective strategy to improve maternal perception and should be integrated into community health programs. Strengthening maternal nutrition literacy through innovative, accessible, and interactive interventions is essential to reduce stunting prevalence.
