The Relationship Between Knowledge Level and Attitudes of Mothers of Toddlers Towards Visits to Posyandu In Janti Village, Tarik District, Sidoarjo

One of the objectives of the Posyandu program is to reduce nutritional problems. The rate of malnutrition in Sidoarjo Regency is 3.8%, at the Tarik Health Center it is 0.13%, and in Janti Village, it reaches 5.13%. Malnutrition negatively impacts toddler growth. In 2023, the visit rate of toddlers to Posyandu in Janti Village was low, at only 32.1% of the total number of toddlers in the village, resulting in suboptimal monitoring of their growth. One factor influencing mothers' visits to Posyandu is their knowledge and attitude.This research is an analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design, aiming to analyze the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers towards visits to Posyandu in Janti Village, Tarik District, Sidoarjo. The population consisted of 224 mothers of toddlers, with a sample of 70 respondents selected randomly through random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards Posyandu, as well as attendance records at Posyandu, and analyzed using Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact tests.Most respondents were aged 25-34 years (72.9%), had completed high school education (50.5%), and were housewives (62.6%). They generally possessed good knowledge about Posyandu (68.6%) or adequate knowledge (31.4%). Regarding visitation, 64.3% were active and 35.7% were inactive. This suggests that positive knowledge and attitudes towards Posyandu significantly influence visitation rates, supported by statistically significant results with a p-value of 0.001 (≤ 0.05).There exists a relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of mothers towards visits to Posyandu.

STUNTING PREVENTION THROUGH EMPOWERING PREGNANT WOMEN AND MOTHERS OF TODDLERS

Conclusion: This suggests that educational interventions are effective in raising awareness about stunting prevention among vulnerable groups.

The moderating effect of maternal childhood maltreatment on the association between social support and parenting outcomes

Although social support is generally expected to improve parenting issues, previous findings on its efficacy among parents who have experienced childhood maltreatment are inconsistent. However, the reasons for this inconsistency have not yet been clarified. To address this, the present study examined the possibility that experiencing specific subtypes of childhood maltreatment (i.e., emotional abuse, physical abuse, sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical neglect) impairs the subsequent function of social support in parenting. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with Japanese mothers of children aged one to three years. In the survey, participants completed four scales: the Parenting Stress Index-Short Form, Parenting Skills Scales for Mothers of Toddlers, Childhood Trauma Questionnaire-Short Form, and the Brief Inventory of the Social Support Exchange Network. A total of 360 datasets were analyzed (mean age = 33.73, SD = 4.73). The results indicated that physical abuse diminished the effect of social support on the prevention of negative parenting. However, social support alleviated parenting stress regardless of childhood maltreatment subtype. The effects of social support on increased positive parenting and decreased negative parenting were unclear compared to its effect on parenting stress. These findings have important implications for supporting parenting among parents who have experienced childhood maltreatment and preventing. intergenerational transmission.

Cultural values and parental psychology: A multilevel analysis from the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium.

The present study aims to gain a greater understanding of the manner in which culture may impact parenting and, thus, child development by examining the relationship between cultural values, socialization goals (SGs), and parental ethnotheories (PEs). Specifically, this study examined links between cultural value dimensions (i.e., individualism/collectivism, power distance, masculinity/femininity, uncertainty avoidance, indulgence/restraint, and long-term/short-term orientation; Hofstede et al., 2010) and autonomous as well as relational SGs and PEs. We examined data collected from mothers of toddlers (N = 865) between 17 and 40 months of age (M = 26.88 months, SD = 5.65 months; 52% boys) from 14 nations represented in the Joint Effort Toddler Temperament Consortium. We hypothesized that: (a) Cultural values consistent with independent cultural ideals would be positively associated with SGs and PEs representative of greater autonomy and independence, and (b) Cultural values consistent with interdependent ideals would be positively associated with SGs and PEs representative of greater interrelatedness. Multilevel modeling was used to regress parental psychology on Hofstede's cultural values. Support for these hypotheses was somewhat mixed; higher ratings of culture-level indulgence were associated with higher autonomous PEs, as well as with higher relational and autonomous SGs. Furthermore, higher ratings of culture-level masculinity were associated with lower relational PEs and with lower autonomous SGs. The results suggest differences in the effects for cultural values associated with parenting versus cultural values associated with child outcomes and highlight considerations related to dichotomous cultural frameworks. The findings help explain both individual- and country-level variations in aspects of parental psychology. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

The Relationship between Maternal Education Level, Exclusive Breastfeeding and History of Infectious Diseases with the Incident of Stunting in Toddlers

Stunting is a problem of chronic malnutrition caused by insufficient nutritional intake over a long period of time due to intake that is not in accordance with nutritional needs. Stunting can occur from the fetus in the womb and only appears when the child is two years old. Nutritional status not only describes the problem of deficiencies in certain nutrients, but is also related to the level of health and chronic diseases a person has.

Factors influencing compliance with multiple injection immunization among mothers of toddlers at The Public Health Center Porong Integrated Health Service Post, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia: A Descriptive Study

Introduction: Immunization significantly reduces infant and child morbidity and mortality rates globally. However, basic immunization coverage in 65 countries must catch up to the 90% global target. Multiple injection immunization involves administering multiple immunizations in one visit, enhancing early protection during vulnerable periods. This approach reduces the need for multiple health visits, which is particularly beneficial for children facing access barriers. It also improves healthcare efficiency, minimizes missed opportunities, and lessens the burden on parents needing frequent facility visits. Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the factors influencing compliance with multiple injection immunization among mothers of toddlers at the Public Health Center Porong Integrated Health Service Post, Sidoarjo, East Java, Indonesia Method: Conducted in March 2024 at Public Health Centre Porong, Indonesia, this study employed a consecutive sampling method. It involved 100 mothers with infants aged 13 to 24 months who had received immunizations at the Post. Data were collected through structured interviews and analyzed to determine compliance rates and associated factors. Result: Among the participants, 91% of mothers were aged between 20 to 35 years, indicating a productive age group. The compliance rate for multiple injection immunization was 61%. Additionally, 74% of mothers had completed high school, suggesting a positive association between higher education and enhanced health decision-making capabilities. A significant proportion of mothers (75%) were not employed, highlighting the influence of occupation on health-related knowledge and practices. Conclusion: The study underscores the necessity for targeted health education initiatives tailored to the diverse demographic and occupational characteristics of mothers. Such interventions should improve maternal knowledge and promote adherence to essential childhood immunizations, leveraging the cognitive advantages associated with higher education and non-working status. This approach aims to foster informed decision-making and proactive health behaviours among mothers in community health settings.
