The purpose of this research was to review in-depth The Role of Social Economy, Knowledge, behaviour, and stunting in Stunting Cases.Narrative studies with scientific journal database sources published in PubMed, Proquest, Science Direct, and Google Scholar were used. The keywords used in the search were Social economy, Knowledge, behaviour, and stunting. The search included research published within the last five years, that is, 2018-2022. A total of 144 articles were found according to the search titles, and 11 articles were selected for review. After the article was obtained, it was tabulated in an Excel table.The findings show that the family economy will support children's nutritional intake and needs so that children are not underweight during this period of growth and development. A good family economy can support childcare patterns, and healthy home settlements so they can access clean water. The family economy plays a role in overcoming the large number of children and preventing early marriages. Parents' knowledge will influence the mother's attitude in caring for and caring for children from birth to adolescence. This knowledge is closely related to the practice of exclusive breastfeeding, traditional food nutrition, the management of food hygiene, the diversity of children's diets, the nutritional value of food including the fulfilment of certain nutrients both micro and macro and education about stunting.Economic status has a very important impact on stunting prevention because it will affect other aspects related to stunting. Not only that, all the research that has been reviewed shows that the educational level of parents will affect attitudes about how to care for their children.

Introduction: The under-five mortality rate in Indonesia and East Java in 2021 shows a downward trend from 2020, with the main cause of under-five mortality being infectious diseases such as pneumonia and diarrhea. One of the factors that contributed to this was the increase in complete immunization coverage for babies in previous years; however, in the 2021 and 2022 periods in Indonesia and East Java, there was a significant decline in the number of complete immunization coverage. Community behaviour regarding improving health, in this case, immunization, is determined by many factors, one of which is the knowledge and attitudes of the mothers of toddlers themselves. Objective: Analyzing the correlation between the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers regarding immunization and compliance with providing complete routine immunization in Wage Village, Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java, Indonesia. Method: This research used quantitative methods with a cross-sectional approach. Data was collected through questionnaires given to 90 mothers of toddlers aged 24-59 months in Wage Village who had a Healthy Way Card (KMS) or Maternal and Child Health Book (KIA); the sample size was calculated using the Compare Two Proportions formula, sampling techniques using Purposive Consecutive Sampling, and Fisher's Exact test was used to see the correlation between the two variables. Results: The results of this study show that there is no significant correlation between the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about immunization and compliance with providing complete routine immunization (p=0.434), and there is no significant correlation between the attitude of mothers of toddlers about immunization and compliance with providing complete routine immunization (p=1.000). Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that neither the knowledge nor attitudes of mothers of toddlers regarding immunization have a significant correlation with compliance in providing complete routine immunization in Wage Village, Taman District, Sidoarjo Regency.

Faktor-Faktor yang Berhubungan dengan Kunjungan Antenatal Care (K4) pada Ibu Hamil di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Tarus Kupang

The Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) is an important measure of a country's health sector progress. Governments aim to lower MMR through initiatives like safe motherhood programs, which include antenatal care (ANC) services. ANC consists of regular pregnancy check-ups to prevent maternal fatalities, with six visits being the minimum recommended number. Although Tarus Community Health Center has reached the K4 service goal, it has not yet met the necessary standards.Based on the data from the Tarus Community Health Center PWS report over the past three years, the National Health Sector SPM target of 100% has not been met. The average K4 coverage was 73.10% in 2020, 70.48% in 2021, and 74.9% in 2022. The underutilization of ANC services by pregnant women at Tarus Health Center is the primary factor contributing to this low performance.This research aims to identify factors related to ANC visits in pregnant women at Tarus Community Health Center in Kupang Regency. The study utilized a quantitative descriptive research method with an analytical survey and cross-sectional approach, analyzing data from 43 individuals using the chi-square test. The findings suggest a correlation between maternal knowledge (p=0.030), parity (p=0.014), culture (p=0.000), and accessibility (p=0.014) with ANC visits. However, the study did not find a significant relationship between mother's attitude (p=0.551) and ANC visits in the research area.The community health center should improve maternal and child health education through electronic and print media. Regular visits and counseling for pregnant women can motivate them to attend antenatal care appointments.

A study on the awareness and attitudes of mothers with children aged 0–6 towards autism in terms of various variables

The aim of the study was to examine mothers’ awareness and attitudes towards autism. The current study was conducted within the framework of the quantitative research method of the correlational survey model, involving 511 mothers between the ages of 18–50 with preschool-aged children. Among the participating mothers, 49.3% were in the 18–33 age range, while 50.7% were in the 34–50 age range. Regarding the number of children, 36.8% of mothers had one child, 46.0% had two children, 13.9% had three children, and 3.3% had four or more children. In terms of educational background, 7.0% had primary education, 16.8% had high school education, 15.5% had associate degrees, 43.6% had bachelor’s degrees, and 17.0% had postgraduate degrees. Data were collected using a demographic information form developed by the researchers, along with two different scales: the ‘Preschool Children Mothers’ Autism Awareness Scale’ and the ‘Societal Attitudes Toward Autism Scale.’ The findings suggest that, to reduce the stress levels of mothers with children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and enhance their preparedness, it is recommended to increase the awareness and knowledge levels of prospective mothers regarding ASD before pregnancy. Additionally, interventions aimed at changing negative attitudes and addressing educational deficiencies related to autism in mothers may influence their awareness and the sub-dimensions of the attitude scale.

Background Primiparous mothers face diverse challenges during pregnancy and post-childbirth. There is a lack of comprehensive educational programs for primiparous mothers on maternal functioning and newborn care. This study aimed to explore the efficacy of a developed educational program on the attitude of primiparous mothers towards newborn communication, general health, feeding and swallowing. The objectives were (1) to develop an attitude questionnaire (AQ), a parent education program, and a feedback questionnaire (FQ); and (2) to estimate the efficacy of the education program pre- and post-delivery. Methods Ninety-eight primiparous mothers without any obstetric history, proficient in English or Kannada, and delivering healthy newborns were recruited for the study. Phase 1 involved the development and validation of AQ, the parent education program [Newborn Communication, Health, Feeding and Swallowing Education Program (N-CHFSEP)], and FQ; while Phase 2 comprised of administering them on the mothers. Both quantitative (descriptive statistics, paired t-test, and chi-square test) and qualitative analysis were done on the parameters of interest. Results The results of the study demonstrated a notable increase in the number of mothers (not all) reporting heightened confidence levels following receiving the N-CHFSEP (which was observed in all the domains). This observed change (pre and post) was statistically significant as per paired t-test analysis (p <0.05) indicating a significant increase in confidence levels post-N-CHFSEP intervention, as well as recognizing warning signs related to the same. Sociodemographic factors such as age, education, occupation, and family type were reported to have a significant effect (p <0.05) on maternal confidence levels before and after N-CHFSEP administration. Feedback from participants highlighted the effectiveness of the program in enhancing knowledge and awareness, while also suggesting areas for improvement. Conclusions This study demonstrates the effectiveness of N-CHFSEP in enhancing primiparous mothers' confidence in newborn care, thereby improving maternal and infant health.
