Effectiveness of Digital-Based Educational Videos in Improving Mothers' Knowledge About the Proper Provision of Complementary Feeding (MP-ASI) / Efektivitas Video Edukasi Berbasis Digital dalam Meningkatkan Pengetahuan Ibu tentang Ketepatan Pemberian MP-ASI

Background: Digital video education may support maternal preparation for complementary feeding. Objective: To assess changes in maternal knowledge of appropriate complementary feeding after digital video education. Methods: This single-group pretest–posttest study included 30 purposively selected mothers of infants aged 0–6 months at Pera Independent Midwifery Practice in April 2026. Knowledge was assessed using a 22-item true–false questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, the Shapiro–Wilk test for paired score differences, and the Wilcoxon signed-rank test were used. Effect size was calculated as r = |Z|/√n, with n representing nonzero pairs. Results: Mean scores increased from 11.83 ± 1.763 to 19.93 ± 1.311, a difference of 8.10 points or a 68.5% relative increase. All mothers had higher posttest scores; the proportion with good knowledge increased from 0% to 100%. The difference was statistically significant (Z = −4.850; p < 0.001; r = 0.89). Conclusion: Knowledge scores increased after digital video education in this sample. Videos may complement midwifery counseling, but the absence of a control group limits causal inference. Knowledge retention and changes in feeding practices require further evaluation.

Latar belakang: Edukasi video digital berpotensi mendukung kesiapan ibu dalam pemberian makanan pendamping air susu ibu (MP-ASI). Tujuan: Menganalisis perubahan pengetahuan ibu mengenai ketepatan pemberian MP-ASI setelah edukasi video digital. Metode: Penelitian satu kelompok prates–pascates ini melibatkan 30 ibu dengan bayi berusia 0–6 bulan yang dipilih secara purposif di Praktik Mandiri Bidan Pera pada April 2026. Pengetahuan diukur menggunakan kuesioner benar–salah sebanyak 22 butir. Analisis meliputi statistik deskriptif, uji Shapiro–Wilk terhadap selisih skor berpasangan, dan uji Wilcoxon signed-rank. Ukuran efek dihitung sebagai r = |Z|/√n, dengan n menunjukkan jumlah pasangan tanpa selisih nol. Hasil: Rerata skor meningkat dari 11,83 ± 1,763 menjadi 19,93 ± 1,311, dengan selisih 8,10 poin atau peningkatan relatif 68,5%. Seluruh ibu mengalami peningkatan skor; proporsi kategori pengetahuan baik berubah dari 0% menjadi 100%. Perbedaan bermakna secara statistik (Z = −4,850; p < 0,001; r = 0,89). Kesimpulan: Skor pengetahuan meningkat setelah edukasi video digital pada sampel penelitian ini. Video berpotensi menjadi pendamping konseling kebidanan, tetapi ketiadaan kelompok kontrol membatasi inferensi kausal. Retensi pengetahuan dan perubahan praktik pemberian makan memerlukan evaluasi lebih lanjut.
