Age of children in 1-36 months is a window of opportunity for children to learn all of the developmental aspects such as fine and gross motor skill, vision, cognitive, language skill, social development and emotional intelligence because 80% part of brain develop in this golden period. Unfortunately, some problems of child growth and development occur in this age. Early detection and intervention is very helpful for optimal growth and development. Booklet become one of effective media because it contains complete guidance, easy language, attractive appearance that can be practically carried by mothers everywhere and becomes a guide for independent detection. This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of health education with booklet to mother's behavior (knowledge and attitude) in detecting growth and development of children 1-36 months. This research used quasi experimental design with one group pretest-posttest approach. Health education with booklet was given to 51 mothers selected by purposive sampling technique. Knowledge and attitude were measured by questionnaire and the results were analyzed by paired T test. Statistical analysis found that there is significance difference between mother's knowledge (p=0,000) and attitude (p=0,005) in conducting early detection of child growth and development before and after health education was given. Booklet is effective media for providing health education to mothers. Health professionals can use booklet to improve mother's knowledge and attitude so they can monitor children's growth and development optimally.
The quantity and quality of breast milk produced are affected by the food consumed by mothers daily. Judging from the geographical condition and aquatic resources, people in lowland (coastal) blood will consume more animal foods that come from the sea, such as fish, shellfish, and the like. People in the highlands will be more likely to consume food items derived from small livestock such as poultry and the like. This is thought to have an impact on the levels of Fe in breast milk (ASI), considering that the concentration in breast milk is influenced by the mother's diet. This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional comparative design to see the differences in Fe levels in breast milk in breastfeeding mothers who live in the highlands and the lowlands. The sample used is the minimum sample for experimental research and questionnaires, namely 40 respondents for each region. To determine Fe levels, measurements were taken in the LLDIKTI X integrated laboratory using AAS. The FFQ questionnaire was used to determine the nutritional content. Data analysis used the Mann-Whitney nonparametric test. The results of this study were that the iron intake in breastfeeding mothers was higher in the lowlands than mothers in the highlands so that there was a regional topographic relationship to iron levels in breastfeeding mothers with a p-value: 0.000.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
