Abstract

Background: Maternal knowledge is an important component of appropriate feeding practices for children with undernutrition. In geographically remote settings, nutrition education that uses familiar and accessible local foods may improve the relevance of supplementary feeding messages. Objective: To evaluate the effect of local food-based supplementary feeding education on mothers’ knowledge regarding nutrition for underweight children in the working area of Leksula Public Health Center, Maluku, Indonesia. Methods: A quasi-experimental pretest-posttest study with a control group was conducted in October 2025. Thirty mothers of underweight children were selected purposively from a population of 42 and allocated to intervention (n=15) and control (n=15) groups. The intervention consisted of one approximately 60-minute educational session using a leaflet and a structured educational plan focused on local food-based supplementary feeding. Knowledge was measured using a 20-item multiple-choice questionnaire (score 0-20). Because the data were non-normally distributed, within-group changes were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test and between-group differences using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results: In the control group, the proportion of mothers with high knowledge increased slightly from 66.7% at pretest to 73.3% at posttest, with no significant within-group change (p=0.317). In the intervention group, high knowledge increased from 40.0% at pretest to 80.0% at posttest, while moderate knowledge decreased from 60.0% to 20.0%; the within-group change was significant (p=0.030). Baseline knowledge did not differ significantly between groups (p=0.070), whereas posttest knowledge was significantly higher in the intervention group (p<0.001). Conclusion: A single local food-based supplementary feeding education session significantly improved mothers’ knowledge compared with the control condition. The intervention may be useful as a culturally relevant nutrition-education strategy in primary health care, although larger and longer-term studies are needed.

Abstract

Background: Adolescent smoking remains a public health concern in Indonesia, while evidence on community-based smoking education in eastern Indonesia is limited. Video and leaflet materials offer practical approaches for delivering standardized tobacco-related information, but changes in immediate educational outcomes should be distinguished from changes in smoking behavior. Objective: To compare smoking-related questionnaire scores before and after video- and leaflet-based education among adolescents in the Laimu Public Health Center working area, Maluku, Indonesia. Methods: A one-group pretest-posttest study was conducted among 88 adolescents aged 10–18 years. Participants received smoking-related education using video and leaflet materials and completed the same questionnaire before and immediately after the educational session. Pretest and posttest scores were compared using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. Results: Before the intervention, 38 participants (43.0%) were classified in the higher-score category (>25), compared with 77 (87.5%) immediately after the intervention. Individual paired comparisons showed higher posttest scores in 83 participants, a lower score in one participant, and unchanged scores in four participants. Posttest scores were significantly higher than pretest scores (Z = −7.963, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Smoking-related questionnaire scores increased immediately after video- and leaflet-based education among adolescents in the Laimu Public Health Center working area. The findings indicate a short-term improvement in the questionnaire outcome but do not establish smoking cessation or sustained behavioral change. Controlled studies with longer follow-up and behavioral outcomes are needed to determine whether these immediate changes persist and translate into changes in smoking behavior.

Abstract

Background: The widespread and excessive use of social media has frequently been associated with the emergence of various psychological disorders, one of which is social anxiety, particularly among female students who access social media with high intensity. Objective: This study aimed to determine whether a relationship exists between social media use and the level of social anxiety among female undergraduate midwifery students at Pelamonia Institute of Health Sciences, Makassar. Methods: This quantitative study employed a descriptive-analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 86 female students from the Undergraduate Midwifery Study Program of Pelamonia Institute of Health Sciences were selected as respondents through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a social media use questionnaire and the Social Anxiety Scale for Adolescents (SAS-A), and the relationship between variables was tested using the chi-square test (α=0.05). Results: The majority of respondents exhibited high-intensity social media use (96.5%) and were simultaneously classified in the high social anxiety category (96.5%). The chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p<0.05), indicating a significant relationship between social media use and the level of social anxiety. Conclusion: A high intensity of social media use was significantly associated with increased social anxiety among female students. Wiser management of social media use, accompanied by psychological counseling programs within the campus environment, is needed to mitigate its adverse effects on female students' mental health.
