Background Almost one-third of children under 5 years old in Indonesia suffer from stunting. Stunting can be prevented optimally during pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition and reproductive health education of pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia. Methods A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from four different villages in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n = 97) received 2 h of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (four or five mothers per group) every 2 weeks for 3 consecutive months. This interactive education was given by facilitators using techniques such as lectures, role-playing, simulation, and games. The control group (n = 97) received regular health care services. A structured questionnaire was applied to collect data consisting of maternal characteristics, nutritional and reproductive health knowledge, attitudes, and practices in the intervention and control groups. Data were analysed using t-test and chi-square analysis. Results Pregnant women in the intervention group indicated a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and reproductive health after receiving education. The pre-test and post-test mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1 for overall knowledge, 40.2 and 49.0 for attitudes, and 36.2 and 40.2 for practices, respectively. In the control group, there was no significant difference between the pre-test and post-test mean scores for these three variables. There was a significant difference (P < 0.001) in the post-test mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05) in the pre-test. Conclusion Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed for large-scale implementation by optimising collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.
Anemia merupakan permasalahan yang sering terjadi terutama pada kelompok rentan seperti ibu hamil. Anemia yang umum terjadi yaitu disebabkan karena kurang asupan zat besi. Salah satu dampak yang terjadi pada ibu hamil yang mengalami anemia yaitu menyebabkan berat bayi lahir rendah (BBLR) dimana dapat beresiko menyababkan stunting di kemudian hari. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan ibu hamil mengenai pencegahan anemia kehamilan. Metode yang digunakan yaitu penyuluhan menggunakan media booklet kepada sebanyak 17 orang ibu hamil di Kantor Kelurahan Padasuka. Evaluasi dari kegiatan penyuluhan diukur menggunakan kuesioner pre-test dan post-test yang diisi oleh ibu hamil. Berdasarkan data yang sudah di analisis diketahui bahwa terjadi peningkatan rata-rata skor yaitu dari skor pre-test sebesar 62,4 menjadi 69 pada skor post-test. Sehingga dapat disimpulkan bahwa terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan ibu hamil setelah diberikan penyuluhan.
Latar Belakang: Salah satu masalah gizi yang membutuhkan perhatian khusus yaitu anemia. Prevalensi anemia di Indonesia terbilang cukup tinggi, berdasarkan data Riskesdas 2018 proporsi anemia pada perempuan yaitu sebesar 27,2%. Prevalensi remaja putri tahun 2018 yang mengalami anemia yaitu sebesar 48.9%. Untuk mencegah anemia menggunakan tepung hati ayam dan tepung kedelai dengan menghasilkan formula cookies diharapkan dapat menjadi langkah pencegahan dan perbaikan gizi anemia pada remaja putri. Tujuan: Tujuan penelitian yaitu untuk pengembangan produk melalui formulasi cookies dengan penambahan tepung hati ayam dan tepung kacang kedelai sebagai makanan yang berpotensi dalam pemenuhan zat besi bagi remaja putri untuk mencegah anemia. Metode: Jenis penelitian adalah eksperimental dengan desain penelitian Rancang Acak Lengkap (RAL) 1 kontrol dan 3 perlakuan serta pengolahan data menggunakan uji Kruskal Wallis dan uji lanjut Mann-Whitney menggunakan Statistical Program for Social Science (SPSS). Formula terpilih adalah formula 3 (F3) dengan nilai 4,30 (suka). Hasil: Hasil analisis dengan uji Kruskal Wallis terdapat perbedaan mutu hedonik secara signifikan (p <0,05) pada parameter tekstur, aroma, rasa, dan kesukaan secara keseluruhan. Simpulan: Tidak terdapat perbedaan yang nyata pada parameter warna (p> 0,05). Penambahan tepung hati ayam dan tepung kedelai memberikan pengaruh yang nyata terhadap parameter tekstur, aroma, rasa, dan kesukaan secara keseluruhan.
Background: Almost one-third of children under five suffer from stunting in Indonesia. Stunting can be prevented optimally since the period of pregnancy as the initial phase of the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education and reproductive health on pregnant women in Bogor Regency, Indonesia.Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 194 pregnant women from August to November 2019. The pregnant women were randomly selected from two different villages that were the stunting locus in Bogor Regency. The intervention group (n=97) received two hours of nutrition and reproductive health education in small groups (4-5 mothers per group) every two weeks for three consecutive months. This interactive education had been given by a facilitator using some techniques such as role-playing, lectures, simulation, and games. The control group (n=97) were to obtain regular health care services.

Data were analyzed using t-test and chi-square analysis.Results: Pregnant women in the intervention group indicate a significant increase in knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding nutrition and health reproductive after being given an education. The pretest and posttest mean scores in the intervention group were 55.1 and 83.1; 40.2 and 49.0; and 36.2 and 40.2, for the overall mother's knowledge, attitudes, and practices, respectively. Whereas in the control group, there was no significance between the pretest and posttest mean for these three variables. There was a significant difference (p<0.05) in the posttest mean between the intervention group and the control group, but the difference was not significant (p>0.05) at the pretest.Conclusion: Providing nutrition and reproductive health education through small groups with interactive methods improves the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be replicated and developed into large-scale implementation by optimizing collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, and maternal and child health service providers.
