Background: Until now, there are still many mothers who give complementary foods to babies before the age of 6 months. This is due to the lack of knowledge of mothers about complementary foods, the benefits and methods of giving complementary foods correctly, and improper complementary feeding habits, as well as the support from families in providing complementary foods. These conditions affect the mother's attitude in giving complementary foods (Sulistijani & Herlianty, 2001). Objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of mothers in providing complementary foods to infants aged 0-12 months. Methods: The research design used correlational analytic with cross sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who had children aged 0-12 months in Balonggabus Village as many as 58 people. The sampling technique used was total sampling. The sample size in this study were 58 respondents. Data collection was obtained through demographic data and questionnaire sheets with a total of 26 questions. Data were analyzed using the Spearmen Rho test with a significance level of p ≤ 0.05. Results:  The results showed that the level of knowledge of mothers in giving complementary foods to infants aged 0-12 months in Balonggabus Village, Candi, Sidoarjo, almost half of them had a low level of knowledge of 28 respondents (48.3%), and attitudes of mothers in giving complementary foods to babies. Most of those aged 0-12 months had negative attitudes as many as 38 respondents (65.5%). The results of statistical tests show that there is a relationship between the level of knowledge and attitudes of mothers in providing complementary foods to babies aged 0-12 months in Balonggabus Village, Candi, Sidoarjo with a significance level of 0.000 (ρ ≤ 0.05). Discussion: Based on the results of the study, it was found that the better the level of knowledge of a mother regarding complementary feeding, the mother has a positive attitude in complementary feeding.

Abstract Objectives: To investigate the level of knowledge of the young adults towards possible use of the convalescent plasma (CP) in treatment of COVID-19 infection and their attitudes towards its donation.Methods: Cross-sectional questionnaire was administered online to 1058 university students, representing 4 different colleges, in the middle of the academic year. The questionnaire included demographic data and 20 questions related to the knowledge and attitudes of respondents about possible use of the convalescent plasma in treatment of COVID-19 infection and its donation. Comparative analyses were made to determine the significance of relationships between the obtained scores and selected variables, using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests and the Spearman correlation coefficient. Results: Significant relationships were found between dependent variables (level of knowledge and intensity of attitude) and gender, age, and student’s college affiliation. There was no statistically significant correlation between dependent variables and respondents’ social background and religious commitment.Conclusions: Young adults, represented by university students, show an above-average level of knowledge relating to the therapeutic and preventive properties of the COVID-19 convalescent plasma. They also express a sufficient intensity of positive attitude towards CP donation. This study confirms the need for appropriate health promotional campaigns and educational programs aimed at popularization of CP donation in general public which would increase the chances of involving more patients recovered from COVID-19 disease.
