INTRODUCTION: In this study, it was aimed to investigate the children's height, weight and the perception of mothers about these values and to reveal the factors that may affect it. METHODS: This cross sectional study included a total of 210 children and their mothers who applied İzmir Tepecik Education Research Hospital Pediatric Health and Diseases policlinics. Survey questions consisting of a total of 30 questions including child’s socio-demographic characteristics, duration of breastfeeding, time to start additional food, eating habits, mother's evaluations of appetite, nutrition, height and weight about their children were asked. RESULTS: The rate of mothers who were found to perceive the child's weight incorrectly was 54.3 % and the rate of mothers who were found to perceive their height incorrectly was 51.5%. Misperception rates were higher in mothers who have underweight and short children. Increased sibling number, the low level of education in the family, and the low household income affected the mother’s perceptions in false direction. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: In our study, it was seen that the ratio of mother’s misperceptions about their children's height and weight were about 50%. These misperceptions can cause the mother to be overly anxious about the child's nutrition and consequently develop negative nutritional behaviors which can lead to real nutritional problems such as low weight or obesity in the child. Therefore, more research is needed to reveal complications from maternal misperceptions.

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the relationship between caregivers and care receivers, defined as home-dwelling family members with dementia. We used a self-rating questionnaire, the Felt Expressed Emotion Rating Scale (FEERS; 6 simple questions), to measure caregiver perceptions of the care receiver’s criticisms (CCs) and emotional overinvolvement (EOI) toward the caregiver. We performed factor analyses to rank single items on the FEERS pertaining to CC and EOI. We included 208 caregiver/care receiver pairs. Logistic regression analyses tested associations between FEERS items and caregiver and care receiver variables. The main contributors to caregiver perceptions of CC were the caregiver’s own distress and the amount of time spent with the care receiver. Socially distressed caregivers perceived the care receiver as emotionally overinvolved. When offering a psychosocial intervention, a tailored program should target the caregiver’s perceived relationship with the family member and the caregiver’s distress. The program should also endeavor to give the caretaker more opportunities for leisure time.

The success of the implementation of exclusive breastfeeding in the community is depend on the readiness of pregnant mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. This readiness is influenced by several factors including motivation and support exclusive breastfeeding by family. This study aimed to examine the empirical model that shows the motivational role as mediators of the relationship between family support of readiness pregnant mothers in exclusive breastfeeding. Cross-sectional study performed on pregnant women in Surakarta. A sample of 150 respondents mother in her first time pregnancy. The closed questionnaire of Likert scale developed to measure three variables of the study. Path analysis procedure used to test the hypothesis of motivational role as mediator relations between two other variables. The results showed that all three variables had a significant relation (p <0.001). The relationship between family support to readiness pregnant women after entering motivation as covariates remained significant but decreased significantly path coefficient (β = 0.365; p <0.001 becomes β = 0.260; p = 0.001). Thus the motivation become a mediator relationship with the family support of readiness pregnant mothers in exclusive breastfeeding.

This study investigated whether there are gender-based differences in the process wherein family functions influence stress through various health behaviors in midlife adults. A cross-sectional study was done using a convenience sample of 250 middle-aged Koreans. Data on the family APGAR index, four health behaviors (i.e., seeking health information, physical activity, healthy diet, and social interaction), and stress were collected by a self-administered survey and analyzed using hierarchical multiple linear regression analyses and a PROCESS macro for SPSS. The study results showed that an indirect effect of family function on stress through health behaviors was significant in women, whereas such a relationship was not shown in men. This study found that the process wherein family function is linked with stress through health behaviors differs by gender. Developing gender-specific interventions is essential to decrease stress in midlife adults.

<p><em>Exclusive breastfeeding is defined as feeding infants only breast milk, be it directly from the breast up to the first six months, without any additional food and drinks; such as formula milk, honey, water, juice, and baby porridge. One of the important factors in giving exclusive breastfeeding to the baby is the husbands’ role. The husbands need to be educated since it affects the attitude and support given to a woman who breastfeeds exclusively. This study aims to identify the relationship between husbands’ characteristics, knowledge, attitude, and support toward exclusive breastfeeding in a private hospital, West Indonesia. This study employs a quantitative method with correlation analysis using a cross-sectional study using a chi-squared test to analyze the relationship between knowledge, attitude, and husband’s support toward giving exclusive breastfeeding. The sample was taken from 51 husbands who had the second and third breastfed baby. Univariate analysis is used to analyze the data. Result: there is a significant relationship between the husbands’ knowledge towards exclusive breastfeeding and there is an insignificant relationship between the husbands’ attitude and support towards exclusive breastfeeding. Further socialization program and education are suggested to the husbands to acquire more knowledge in understanding the importance of exclusive breastfeeding as the husbands’ attitude and support toward it is still low.</em></p><p> </p><p><strong>BAHASA INDONESIA </strong>Air Susu Ibu Eksklusif merupakan pemberian air susu ibu kepada bayi sampai usiada enam bulan pertama tanpa menambahkan makanan apapun, seperti susu formula, madu, air putih, sari buah, dan bubur bayi.

Abstract Introduction Diversification is the transition phase between exclusive breastfeeding and adult-style feeding, taken independently by the child. Breast milk covers the nutritional needs of infants during the first months of life. With a view to prevention, in particular allergy and optimization of nutritional intake, food diversification is ideally undertaken between the 4th and 6th month. The age at which food is introduced can naturally vary depending on family cultural traditions. The objective of this work is to research the factors associated with the conduct of food diversification. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in the governorate of Monastir, including mothers consulting 6 dispensaries for the monitoring of their children. the collected data concerned their medical history, the course of pregnancy, breastfeeding and the age of food diversification. The relationships between the various diversification risk factors were analyzed using SPSS software. Results In total,1906 infants were included in our study. The delivery method was vaginal in 81.1% of cases, cesarean section in 17.7% and forceps in 1.1% of cases. The average of birth weight was 3338 ± 522.7 grams. The duration of breastfeeding was in average 3.65 months with extremes ranging from zero days to 24 months. The mean age of food diversification was 4.31 months with extremes ranging from 0 days to 24 months. The first food introduced was fruits, then vegetables. The family dish was introduced on average at the age of 10.28 months. There was no significant difference between mode of delivery, birth weight and age of food diversification. Conclusions Information efforts on infant feeding are necessary by focusing on simple messages must be used. This advice must be adapted to the child's family (place in the siblings, eating habits and resources) and to the child himself (taste, appetite). Key messages Information efforts on infant feeding are necessary by focusing on simple messages must be used The first food introduced was fruits, then vegetables.
