“…This findings in line with the results of research conducted by Rusmanto and Mukono (23), showed that there is a correlation between knowledge and intestinal worm infection. This study is also coherent with the research of Hakli et al (24), concluded that one's adequate knowledge about nutrition is expected to change his behavior in choosing nutritious foods, preparing the food in a balanced diet and preventing intestinal worm infection.…”

Background: Intestinal worm infection brings negative impact in weakening health condition, nutrition, and intelligence. One of the factors that causes intestinal worm infection in pregnant women is the low knowledge of pregnant women about the importance of the food hygiene. This research aims to analyze the correlation between knowledge about intestinal worm infection and helminthiasis of pregnant women.Method: This study used observational cross sectional design. Samples were taken from the second and third trimester pregnant women in Community Health Center Kemusu 2, Boyolali District, Central of Java, Indonesia, as many as 205, with simple random sampling as the sampling technique. Knowledge about intestinal worm infection was measured by questionnaire of knowledge about intestinal worm infection. Data of intestinal worm infection was obtained from laboratory test with native method. The correlation test between knowledge and helminthiasis used rank Spearman's rho. Conclusion:The knowledge about intestinal worm infection was considered low at 43.9% and the subjects that suffered intestinal worm infection (Ascaris lumbricoides) were 37.1%. There is a correlation between knowledge about intestinal worm infection and helminthiasis of pregnant women (p=0.001). The suggestion from this study is that there is a need to improve the level of knowledge about intestinal worm infection by women empowerment and promotive-preventive program improvement, so that it can reduce the risk of intestinal worm infection in pregnant women.

“…In this case, pregnant women do not know how to prevent the occurrence of intestinal worm infection. Knowledge is a very important domain to develop someone's behavior (24). Although a pregnant woman has a low education but if she gets good health information through various media, it will be able to enhance her health knowledge.…”

“…Education itself has been confirmed can improve behavior-related diseases by mediating the participant's knowledge [23], [24]. A study in Turkey strengthened the evidence that interventions through education can improve knowledge, and thus affecting someone's behavior [25].

BACKGROUND: Studies linking the association of nutrition knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) with healthy behavior have been well established. However, the method to effectively deliver nutrition education to a particular population, especially middle-income population, was less studied. AIM: This study aimed to examine the effects of school-based nutrition using the self-determination theory (SDT) on nutrition KAP of the senior secondary schoolteacher with metabolic syndrome risk. METHODS: This study was a non-randomized pre-post intervention study conducted in eight senior secondary schools in Makassar City. The intervention group received a balanced nutrition package either delivered through modules, balance sheet (calendar), or physical activity poster for 4 months. The control group received a pamphlet that has been developed by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. RESULTS: A total of 123 respondents (63 respondents) intervention and (60 respondent) control group completed post-test and were included in the analysis. There were increase knowledge, attitude, and practice in both groups, but increasing in the intervention group was a significant relationship compared to the control group (knowledge p < 0.001 and practice = 0.007).s CONCLUSIONS: Delivering nutrition education using SDT concept can potentially improve the knowledge and practices of the teachers about balanced nutrition. The government may adopt the SDT approach when designing the nutrition education program with specific targets.

“…Although some research has shown that older women with a higher educational level tend to consume more n-3 or fish and seafood during pregnancy [44,45], and/or showed high adherence to diet quality [27,46,47], in our study only observed significant differences on fish and seafood consumption by age group (age group: <25 years old: 36.3 ± 21.6; 25-30years old: 46.1 ± 31.6; >30 years old: 47.2 ± 30.5; p = 0.049). In addition, women with medium or high educational levels might have greater nutritional knowledge [48,49]. Lower educational levels and younger ages might be linked to lower incomes and may have less access to food sources of n-3 PUFA (fish and seafood), which tend to be expensive [12,50,51].…”

Maternal Factors Associated with Levels of Fatty Acids, Specifically n-3 PUFA during Pregnancy: ECLIPSES Study

et al. 2021

An optimal fatty acid (FA) profile during pregnancy, especially docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), is essential for the health of the mother and child. Our aim was to identify the socioeconomic and maternal lifestyle factors associated with serum FA concentration in pregnant women. A longitudinal study was conducted on 479 pregnant women, who were assessed during the first (T1) and third (T3) trimesters of pregnancy. Data on maternal characteristics, food consumption, and lifestyle were collected. Serum FA concentrations were analysed by a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry combination. The multiple linear regression showed that high educational level and older age were significantly associated with higher EPA and DHA concentrations and lower values of n-6/n-3 and arachidonic acid (AA)/EPA in T1 and/or T3. Regarding diet—fish and seafood consumption increased EPA concentration and reduced n-6/n-3 and AA/EPA values in both trimesters, whereas its consumption increased DHA concentration only in T1. Smoking was associated with lower DHA concentration in T1 and higher values of n-6/n-3 ratio in both trimester. Overweight and obesity were associated with higher values of n-6/n-3 ratio and AA/EPA ratio in T1. A statistically non-significant association was observed with saturated fatty acids (SFA) and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). In conclusion, high educational levels, older age, fish, seafood consumption, and/or non-smoking, are factors that influence better omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (n-3 PUFA) profile in both trimesters of pregnancy. Further research is needed to go in-depth into these findings and their health consequences.
