Pregnancy is a time to increase fetal growth and development. The growth and development of children certainly cannot be separated from the nutritional status of the mother. Lack of knowledge about nutrition can cause mothers not to know how to fulfill nutrition during pregnancy. The purpose of the research was to identify the relationship between knowledge and attitudes with maternal nutritional status. This type of research is descriptive analytic and uses a cross sectional research design. Accidental sampling was chosen as a sample collection technique using a questionnaire sheet to measure the independent variables, namely knowledge and attitudes, and the dependent variable, namely nutritional status using the results of the Mid-upper arm circumference measurement. The results of data acquisition were analyzed by chi test with < 0.05. In the analysis, the results showed that there was a relationship between knowledge (p = 0.010) and attitude (p = 0.009) with (α = 0.05) on the nutritional status of pregnant women. So it can be concluded that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards nutritional status in pregnant women.
Chronic energy deficiency (CED) in pregnant women is still a nutritional problem in Indonesia. CED in pregnant women is caused by low energy and protein intake in pregnant women. The low energy and protein intake in pregnant women can cause disturbances in pregnancy and the baby in the womb. This research objective is to provide an overview of the level of energy and protein adequacy of pregnant women in the city of Malang. This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional design. The sample in this study was 64 pregnant women. The variables of energy adequacy and protein adequacy were obtained through online interviews. The instrument in this study used a Semi-Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Data analysis is descriptive. The results showed that the energy adequacy level was categorized as very less (54.7 percent), less (28.1 percent), normal (10.9 percent), and more (6.3 percent). The level of protein adequacy is categorized as very less (45.3 percent), less (23.4 percent), normal (7.8 percent), and more (23.4 percent). The level of energy and protein adequacy in pregnant women is at most included in the minimal category or very less compared to needs. Efforts to accelerate the fulfillment of energy and protein in pregnant women. Kekurangan energi kronis (KEK) pada ibu hamil masih menjadi masalah gizi di Indonesia. KEK pada ibu hamil disebabkan oleh rendahnya asupan energi dan protein pada ibu hamil. Rendahnya asupan energi dan protein pada ibu hamil dapat menyebabkan gangguan dalam kehamilan dan bayi dalam kandungan. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk memberikan gambaran tingkat kecukupan energi dan protein pada ibu hamil di Kota Malang. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain potong lintang. Sampel dalam penelitian ini sebesar 64 ibu hamil. Variabel kecukupan energi dan kecukupan protein didapatkan melalui wawancara yang dilakukan secara online. Instrumen dalam penelitian ini menggunakan kuesioner Semi Quantitative Food Frequency Questionnaire. Analisis data bersifat deskriptif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tingkat kecukupan energi termasuk kategori minimal atau sangat kurang (54,7 persen), kurang (28,1 persen), normal (10,9 persen), dan lebih (6,3 persen). Tingkat kecukupan protein yang termasuk kategori minimal atau sangat kurang (45,3 persen), kurang (23,4 persen), normal (7,8 persen), dan lebih (23,4 persen). Tingkat kecukupan energi dan kecukupan protein pada ibu hamil paling banyak termasuk dalam kategori minimal atau sangat kurang dibandingkan dengan kebutuhan. Upaya percepatan pemenuhan energi dan protein pada ibu hamil sangat diperlukan.
