The Effect of Early Education Using Animation Video and Leaflets on Preparation of Complementary Feedings as Stunting Prevention

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by inadequate nutritional intake for a long time. Babies need adequate nutritional intake to prevent stunting. Education on the preparation of MP-ASI can be done through animated videos and leaflets. The study aimed to determine the effect of education using animated videos and leaflets to increase knowledge of mothers who have toddlers aged 4-5 months about the preparation for giving complementary feeding to prevent stunting. The study was conducted at the Payung Sekaki Health Center. This study used a quasi-experimental with one group pre-postest design and data analysis using a paired T-test. The number of samples were 86 respondents. Education using animated videos and leaflets has an effect on increasing the knowledge of mothers who had babies aged 4-5 months to prepare complementary feeding (p-value <0.05). Health education using animated videos and leaflets could increase mother’s knowledge to prepare complementary feeding for babies aged 4-5 months.
