Pregnancy is a thing in life that can create a happy family, where there will be physical and mental changes that are naturally (Sigalingging, 2009). Nutritional problems that are often experienced by pregnant women is less Chronic Energy (KEK) and nutrition anemia. Cake during pregnancy will restrict fetal growth and risk BBLR. One of the parameters to determine the cake on the pregnant mother is to perform an examination of albumin. The low nutrient intake especially protein consumed during pregnancy as causes of nutrition disorders can be seen from the level of albumin blood pregnant. The trigger factor of lack of knowledge about nutrition and disregarding the pregnant mother to the condition of the pregnancy progresses, among others economic status level of education which is still very low and pregnancy at a young age. Maternal Nutrition knowledge is low, usually not followed by the action of good mothers to meet the nutrition intake during pregnancy progresses (Bahar, 2013). The general aim of this research is to know the relation of knowledge and action on nutrition with serum albumin pregnant in the working area of the Puskesmas Mandala Medan. This research is cohort studies with Cross Sectional design and data analyzed using the Chi Square Test to know the relation of knowledge and action on nutrition with serum albumin on the pregnant mother in the working area of the Puskesmas Mandala Medan. The results of the study showed that there are significant relationships between nutrition knowledge with serum albumin pregnant, and no significant relationships between the actions with serum albumin pregnant.

AbstractObjectiveMaternal nutrition knowledge has frequently been identified as an important target for nutrition promotion interventions. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether maternal nutrition knowledge is more strongly associated with the mother's own diet or that of her child.DesignCross-sectional multivariate linear regression with interactions analyses of survey data.SettingSocio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods in Victoria, Australia.SubjectsFive hundred and twenty-three mothers and their children who participated in the Resilience for Eating and Physical Activity Despite Inequality (READI) study, a cross-sectional survey study conducted in 2009 among women and their children residing in socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods.ResultsIn adjusted models, for three (vegetable, chocolate/lollies and soft drink consumption) out of the seven dietary outcomes assessed, there was a significant association between maternal nutrition knowledge and maternal diet, whereas for the children's diets none of the seven outcomes were associated with maternal nutrition knowledge. Statistical comparison of regression coefficients showed no difference between the maternal nutrition knowledge–maternal diet association and the maternal nutrition knowledge–child diet association.ConclusionsPromoting maternal nutrition knowledge may represent an important avenue for improving diet in mothers from socio-economically disadvantaged neighbourhoods, but more information is needed on how and when this knowledge is translated to benefits for their children's diet.

There are many malnutrition problems in children under fi ve, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. One of factor affecting nutritional status is maternal nutrition knowledge that will imply in caring and feeding practice. Underweight is also affected by social economy factors such as family income, food expenditure, mother’s education and occupation. Therefore, the aim of this research was to analyze differences of social economy characteristic and maternal nutrition knowledge between under-fi ve children with underweight and normal nutritional status. Thisresearch was analytical-observational study with cross sectional design. Sample of this research was children aged 24–60 months that living in the working area of Sidotopo Public Health Centre. The number of sample was 19 children in each sub-population based on nutritional status. Data was collected through primary data collecting with direct interview and questionnaire. The result showed signifi cant difference of maternal nutrition knowledge between children with underweight and normal nutritional status (p = 0.004). There is no difference in social economy characteristic such as mother’s education (p = 0.189), mother’s occupation (p = 0.387), and family income (p = 0.189), and food expenditure (p = 0.515). Therefore, improving maternal nutrition knowledge and skills in local community or public health centre is necessary.Keywords: under-fi ve children, nutrition knowledge, nutritional status

Child Nutritional Status

Background: Malnutrition remains a major concern in the developing countries especially in food insecure populations. Maternal nutrition knowledge, among other factors, has been shown to improve nutritional status in children under the age of 5 years. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a nutrition education intervention on maternal nutrition knowledge, dietary intake, and nutritional status in Turkana County, Kenya.Methods: Seventy-three mothers/female caretakers with children <5 years old from Nadapal village in Turkana County were included in the study. At baseline, maternal nutritional knowledge, maternal and child nutritional status, and dietary intake were assessed. During the intervention, participants were trained on breastfeeding, complementary feeding, hygiene and sanitation. The intervention was conducted for five days with two- three hour sessions each day. Six months after the intervention, a follow-up was done to assess the effect of the intervention.Results: At baseline, 53% of the women were underweight (BMI<18.5 kg/m2), 24% of the children were stunted, 20.7% wasted, and 28.6% underweight. After the intervention, maternal knowledge on length of breastfeeding and composition of complementary foods improved. There were no significant changes in nutritional status in both women and children after the intervention.Conclusions: Results from this study implied that nutrition education interventions may improve nutrition knowledge of the mothers /female caretakers. However, without provision of food, the effects of the gained nutrition knowledge may not reflect in the dietary intake or nutritional status and therefore future interventions need to include ways to reduce food insecurity.
