Abstract

Background: The period of the first 1 000 days of life is the best period to directly affect survival and quality of life. The three stages of the first 1 000 days of human life give rise to certain vulnerabilities, namely the embryonic stage, perinatal stage, and lactation stage. Methods: The design of this research is quasi-experimental. Preconception mothers in the intervention group received video-based education while the control group did not receive video-based education but were free to listen to nutritional advice from existing health workers. The sample in this study consisted of 28 mothers in the not video-based intervened (NVBI) group and 28 mothers in the video-based intervened (VBI) group. Results: Preconception mothers and pregnant women in the VBI group showed an increase in knowledge after receiving education in the form of educational videos. Based on the Wilcoxon test obtaining a p value of 0.0001, it was concluded that there are differences between the pre-test and post-test scores, indicating an effect of video-based education on nutritional knowledge in pregnant women. Conclusion: The provision of nutrition education in video-based intervention through family companions can increase the knowledge of pregnant women. This intervention has the potential to be adopted and developed by incorporating elements of local culture for wider-scale implementation by utilizing more modern technology and easily accessed by the community in the context of stunting prevention.
