Nutrition education with android-based application media to increase knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of pregnant women about chronic energy deficiency (KEK)

Abstract

Pregnant women are a very vulnerable group to nutritional problems. The lack of knowledge, attitude, and behavior towards nutrition is the main cause of KEK (chronic energy deficiency) in pregnant women. The purpose of this study was to design an android-based application based on a needs analysis to improve nutritional knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about KEK. The research method was qualitative research, while the design used a combined method between Research and Development (R&D) and Pre-Experiment methods with one group pre-test and post-test designs. The results of the data analysis showed that the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of pregnant women increased by 72%, 78%, and 39%, respectively. The p-value of the McNemar test results for the variables of knowledge, attitude, and behavior was 0.000 <? (0.05), indicating there were differences in the knowledge, attitude, and behavior of pregnant women before and after using the application (p <?). It was concluded that nutrition education with Android-based application media influenced the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of pregnant women, that is, to increase the knowledge, attitudes, and behavior of pregnant women about KEK in Meo – Meo Public Health center, Baubau City.

Role of surrogate risk biomarkers for cardiovascular risk prediction in chronic kidney patients

“…The results of the present study were in accordance to the findings of Preston et al [5] reported that patients with stage 3 to 4 CKD had increased CIMT compared with normotensive volunteers. Lu Xia Zhang et al [6] in their study on stage 2-3 CKD patients (i.e., mild and moderate renal insufficiency), found significantly increased CIMT in these patients and concluded that arterial change might occur in the course of CKD earlier than previously believed.This compares favorably with findings by Zoungas et al [7] who found significantly thickened CIMT in CKD patients compared with controls (0.89 ± -0.17 vs 0.73 ± -0.13 mm, respectively). Some other authors also reported similar findings [8,9] .…”

effect of reproductive health education with multimedia video learning on the improvement of fluor albus prevention behavior young woman pathologist

“…Through a significant value <0.05, then according to the decision-making criteria, H0 is rejected. That is, there is a difference in changes in knowledge, attitudes, and behavior/actions towards reproductive health education with multimedia video learning towards improving the behavior of preventing pathological fluor albus (leucorrhoea) in adolescent girls (Ananda et al, 2022;Lestari et al, 2021). Furthermore, to find out the difference between each variable individually, it can be seen in the Between-Subjects Effects table.…”

Optimal management of early surgery of chronic pancreatitis

“…In a retrospective study, Bellon et al (2019), compared the results of the so-called Hamburg modification of Frey's operation; as a result, the advantages of such an operation over other duodenalpreserving resections of the pancreatic head were revealed; exo-, endocrine function of a pancreas did not differ from the point of view of control of a pain syndrome and the life quality (Konstantinidis et al, 2010). At the same time, the authors pointed out two important findings, namely: continued alcohol intake after surgery was significantly associated with relapse of pain; there was no reliable data on the duration of chronic pancreatitis, it was noted that almost all patients had terminal disease stage (Bellon et al, 2019;Yarmukhamedova et al, 2021;Lestari et al, 2021;Widana et al, 2020). In 2012, Dutch researchers have concluded that although the choice of the surgery based on pathological anatomical changes allows obtaining results of pain control in chronic pancreatitis from excellent to satisfactory ones, however, an early Surgery intervention performed before many endoscopic treatment attempts and the need for strong analgesics may (Wilcox et al, 2014), where no reliable relationship was found between the findings and the presence and severity of pain by comparing the surveys of patients and their imaging data.…”
