The worldwide rate of exclusive breastfeeding is <40%. In Indonesia, only 42% of babies were exclusively breastfed for first six months by 96% of women (2013). Breast milk plays a vital role for both mother and baby. In 2018, the exclusive breastfeeding rate in East Java was 40%, which is far from the target set at 80%. The rate of exclusive breastfeeding is relatively higher in rural than in urban areas with a ratio of 57.22:54.77%. Meanwhile, in Malang, particularly in the Cisadea Public Health Center area, in 2019, the rate of exclusive breastfeeding was 64.8%. The knowledge and attitude of women are closely related to their behaviour towards exclusive breastfeeding. One way to increase the practice of exclusive breastfeeding is Emotional-Demonstration (Emo-Demo) education. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Emo-Demo exclusive breastfeeding to increase the knowledge and attitudes of mothers who do not exclusively breastfeed in the working area of the Cisadea Public Health Center. The study used a pre-experimental research with one-group pre–post-test design. Data from the Wilcoxon signed rank test on maternal knowledge obtained an Asymp Sig (2-tailed) value of 0.011 and maternal attitude of 0.000. So, it can be concluded that the Emo-Demo method is effective in increasing the knowledge and attitude of mothers towards exclusive breastfeeding.

This study was conducted to assess knowledge and attitude of medication among Nurses in Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Calabar. Three (3) research questions were raised and one hypothesis formulated to direct the study. The descriptive cross-sectional survey design was used to study a total of one hundred and two (102) nurses selected from the study area using the stratified random sampling technique. A well developed and structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire was duly validated and its reliability ensured. Data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics of frequency count, simple percentage, mean, weighted mean, and standard deviation. The study hypothesis was tested using Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient analysis with its significance level set at 0.05. Findings of the study revealed that majority (73.6%) of the nurses used for the study had adequate knowledge of medication error, and majority (72.6%) had positive attitude towards prevention of medication error in the Hospital. Factors that affect safe medication practices among the nurses include: individual negligence, excessive workload, inadequate staff strength, poor working environment, lack of staff development and training, lack of equipment and supplies, non-regular review of patient’s drugs by doctors, and prescription of under dosage drug by doctors. There is a statistically significant and positive relationship between knowledge and attitude of nurses towards prevention of medication error. Based on these findings, it was recommended that government should employ more qualified nurses to increase the strength of nurses in the Hospital and improve the nurse-patient ratio to avoid excessive workload which is a strong and significant contributing factor to medication error among nurses in the Hospital.
