The Effectiveness Of Education Using Vidio Is Determined Nutritional Knowledge In Mothers With Low Nutritional Children At At Sanur Health Center Nunukan District

Introduction

The effectiveness of education using vidio is determined nutritional knowledge in mothers with low nutritional children at at sanur health center nunukan district. Explore the effectiveness of video education in improving nutritional knowledge among mothers of malnourished toddlers at Sanur Health Center, Nunukan. Research shows significant positive impact.

Abstract

Toddlers who lack sufficient nutritional intake will most likely have a decreased immune system, making them susceptible to infectious diseases which can affect their appetite and absorption of nutrients, causing malnutrition. Toddlers who often experience infectious diseases and malnutrition will easily experience growth and development disorders at this age, which will affect the child's level of health and intelligence as well as productivity in the subsequent growth period. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of education using videos on nutritional knowledge in mothers of malnourished toddlers. This research is a quantitative research with a pre-experimental research design, one group pre-test post test with a cross sectional approach. The sample in this study was 72 mothers who had malnourished toddlers in the working area of the Sanur Health Center, Nunukan Regency, using a purposive sampling technique. The Wilcoxon statistical test was used to determine the effectiveness of education using videos on nutritional knowledge in malnourished mothers of toddlers.The results of research from 72 respondents, almost all respondents experienced an increase in knowledge, namely 41 respondents (55,9%) who had a sufficient level of knowledge and 31 respondents (43,1%) who had a good level of knowledge. .The results of bivariate analysis using the Wilcoxon test obtained a p value of 0.000 < 0.05, so the HI was accepted because there was the effectiveness of education using videos on nutritional knowledge in malnourished mothers of toddlers.It can be used as evaluation material to improve educational methods that are more interesting and it is hoped that it can increase knowledge about nutrition in toddlers.

Review

This study addresses a critical public health issue: childhood malnutrition and the role of maternal nutritional knowledge. The rationale for the research is well-established, highlighting the severe consequences of inadequate nutrition in toddlers, including compromised immunity, growth and developmental delays, and long-term impacts on health and intelligence. The objective to determine the effectiveness of video-based education on nutritional knowledge among mothers of malnourished toddlers is highly relevant, given the potential for innovative educational methods to bridge knowledge gaps in vulnerable populations. The abstract effectively sets the stage for a timely intervention study aimed at improving maternal understanding of nutrition. The methodology employed a quantitative pre-experimental design, specifically a one-group pre-test post-test with a cross-sectional approach, using a sample of 72 mothers of malnourished toddlers at the Sanur Health Center. The use of a purposive sampling technique is noted, though details on its criteria would enhance clarity. The Wilcoxon statistical test was appropriately applied to assess the difference in nutritional knowledge before and after the video intervention. The findings indicate a statistically significant increase in maternal nutritional knowledge (p=0.000), with a substantial proportion of respondents achieving sufficient (55.9%) or good (43.1%) knowledge levels post-intervention. These results strongly support the hypothesis that video education is effective in improving maternal nutritional knowledge. While the study successfully demonstrates the short-term effectiveness of video-based education in enhancing maternal nutritional knowledge, there are opportunities for further research and practical application. The findings provide valuable evaluation material for health centers seeking to refine educational methods, suggesting that video content can be an engaging and impactful tool. However, it would be beneficial for future studies to explore the long-term retention of this knowledge and, more critically, its translation into improved nutritional practices and ultimately, better health outcomes for toddlers. Incorporating a control group or comparing video education with other traditional methods could further strengthen the evidence base. Nevertheless, this research offers a compelling case for integrating video technology into health education programs for its potential to increase knowledge about nutrition in a crucial demographic.
