Impact Of Nutsi-Smartphone Application On Nutritional Knowledge Among Breastfeeding Mothers: A Quasy-Experimental Study
Subject
breastfeeding, knowledge, nutrition, smartphone application
Description
Background: Nutrition knowledge among breastfeeding mothers is
a key factor in good nutrition status. Some breastfeeding mothers
in Indonesia suffer from inadequate nutrition status, which may
affect exclusive breastfeeding practice. However, few breastfeeding
women have adequate nutritional knowledge. Health education
about adequate nutrition during lactation is highly needed.
Methods: This was a quasi-experimental study with a control
group, pretest, and post-test design. It was conducted at the work
area of the Panyingkiran Public Health Center, Majalengka
Regency, West Java Province, Indonesia. This study used a
consecutive sampling method and involved 78 respondents, divided
into 39 respondents in the intervention group and 39 respondents
in the control group. Data was collected using a set of
questionnaires to collect demographic and nutritional data. Then,
the data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test and Chi-square
test.
Results: This study found that there was a significant difference
between pre-test and post-test scores in the intervention group
(t=0,000 p<0,05). There was no significant difference between pretest and post-test scores in the control group (t=1, p >0,05).
Furthermore, there was a significant difference in post-test scores
between the intervention and control groups (t=0,000 p<0,05).
Conclusion: The developed smartphone application-Nutsi-was
effective in increasing nutritional knowledge among lactation mothers. Health care providers may use Nutsi as a health promotion media in order to improve nutrition knowledge among pregnant women.
