Abstract

Ensuring a healthy pregnancy is an important responsibility for couples in maintaining the health of future children. Data from the 2023 Indonesian Health Survey shows that pregnancy risk factors among women aged 10–54 years in Central Java reached 27.8%, which is higher than the national average of 15.6%. Knowledge about pregnancy preparation—such as adequate nutritional intake, medical consultations, and pregnancy planning—is essential for reducing these risks. Education and age are considered important factors that may influence the level of knowledge among reproductive-age couples. This study aimed to determine the relationship between education level and age with the knowledge of reproductive-age couples (PUS) regarding pregnancy preparation in Tuksongo Village, Borobudur. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 66 couples of reproductive age (132 respondents) selected using total sampling in Tuksongo Village, Borobudur. Data were collected using a true–false questionnaire containing 26 statements that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Fisher’s Exact test. The majority of respondents had secondary education (53% of males and 56.1% of females) and were aged 20–25 years (66.7% of males and 87.9% of females). Most respondents demonstrated good knowledge regarding pregnancy preparation (84.8% of males and 89.4% of females). The analysis showed a significant relationship between education level and knowledge of pregnancy preparation among reproductive-age couples (p = 0.002; p < 0.05). However, age was not significantly associated with knowledge (p = 0.537; p > 0.05). Education is significantly associated with knowledge regarding pregnancy preparation among reproductive-age couples, while age does not show a significant relationship. Strengthening educational exposure may improve awareness and knowledge related to healthy pregnancy preparation.

Abstract

Child growth during the first two years of life is a critical period that determines health status and human resource quality in the future. One important factor influencing child growth is the diversity of food consumed, especially during the complementary feeding period. Adequate dietary diversity ensures the fulfillment of essential macro and micronutrients needed for optimal growth and development. This study aims to analyze the relationship between dietary diversity and the growth of children aged 6–24 months in the working area of Puskesmas Nanggalo, Padang. This research used a quantitative approach with an analytic observational design using a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 60 children aged 6–24 months selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data on dietary diversity were collected through structured interviews with mothers using a 24-hour recall questionnaire and measured using the Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD) indicator. Child growth data were obtained through anthropometric measurements including weight and length/height according to age standards. Data analysis was conducted using univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between dietary diversity and child growth with a p-value of 0.012 (p < 0.05). Children who had good dietary diversity tended to have better growth compared to children with low dietary diversity. These findings highlight the importance of improving dietary diversity during the complementary feeding period to support optimal child growth.
