Abstract

Low awareness of early detection of breast cancer causes SADARI practice to still not be optimal. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of audiovisual media and posters in improving knowledge, attitudes, and practices of SADARI in Couples of Childbearing Age (PUS) aged 30–49 years. This quantitative research uses a quasi-experimental type with a pretest-posttest control group design. The study population amounted to 255 Couples of Childbearing Age (PUS), with a sample of 156 respondents determined using the Slovin formula and selected through purposive sampling techniques. The sample was divided equally into the audiovisual group (78 respondents) and the poster group (78 respondents). The independent variables of the research are health education media (audiovisual and posters), while the dependent variables include knowledge, attitudes, and practices of SADARI. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had met the validity and reliability test (Cronbach's Alpha). Data analysis was carried out using paired t-test and independent t-test with the help of SPSS software version 34.00. The results showed that the audiovisual group experienced a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices of SADARI (p<0.001). In the poster group, a significant increase occurred in knowledge and practice (p<0.001), but attitudes did not increase significantly (p=1,000). The results of the independent t-test confirmed that there was a significant difference in effectiveness between the two media on, attitudes, and practices of AWARENESS (p<0.001). Audiovisual media has been proven to be more effective than poster media in increasing knowledge, attitudes, and practices of SADARI in couples of childbearing age, so it is recommended as a health education medium to support early detection of breast cancer.

Abstract

 Picky Eater in toddlers is characterized by behaviors such as choosing certain foods, limiting food variations, and refusingto try new foods, which can affect nutritional status. Limited caregiver knowledge can exacerbate this condition. Health education deliveredthrough the audiovisual platform TikTok represents an innovative and accessible approach. Methods: This study used a pre-experimentaldesign with a One-Group Pretest-Posttest approach, which was conducted in the working area of the Parang Health Center, Magetan Regencybetween March and May 2026. A total of 43 caregivers of toddlers aged 1-5 years with malnutrition were selected using simple randomsampling. Knowledge of picky eating was assessed using a 20-item questionnaire before and after TikTok's audiovisual educationintervention, which was administered twice a day for three consecutive days. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test.Results: Before the intervention, 69.8% of caregivers had good knowledge, while 30.2% had reasonable knowledge. After the intervention,all caregivers (100%) showed good knowledge. The Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test yielded a p value of <0.001 (Z = -3.606), indicating asignificant effect of TikTok's audiovisual education on caregiver knowledge. Conclusion: TikTok audiovisual education is effective inincreasing caregivers' knowledge about picky eating in toddlers. This medium serves as an engaging, interactive, and accessible alternativeto health promotion, helping to improve caregivers' understanding of healthy eating habits for young children

Abstract

Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS) are multimicronutrient preparations containing 15 essential vitamins and minerals that play a critical role in preventing anemia and supporting fetal growth and development during pregnancy. Inadequate knowledge and negative attitudes among pregnant women toward MMS consumption may compromise adherence to supplementation regimens. This study aimed to analyze and compare the effectiveness of video and leaflet educational media in improving pregnant women’s knowledge and attitudes regarding MMS consumption. This study employed a quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest approach. The study population consisted of 63 pregnant women in the working area of Sukomoro Primary Health Center (Puskesmas Sukomoro), Magetan Regency, East Java, with a sample of 60 respondents selected using simple random sampling, divided equally into a video group (n=30) and a leaflet group (n=30). Data were collected using validated knowledge and attitude questionnaires and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and Mann–Whitney U Test. Results showed that knowledge increased by 85.71% in the video group and 84.57% in the leaflet group, while attitudes improved by 67.55% in the video group and 103.71% in the leaflet group. Statistical analysis demonstrated significant improvements in both groups (p < 0.001). However, there was no significant difference in effectiveness between video and leaflet media in improving either knowledge (p = 0.059) or attitudes (p = 0.496) among pregnant women. Both video and leaflet educational interventions were effective in improving pregnant women’s knowledge and attitudes regarding MMS consumption, with no statistically significant difference between the two media types
