The Effectiveness Of The Nutrition Education Application For Women Of Childbearing Age And Pregnant Women In The Community

Abstract

The nutritional needs of women of childbearing age and pregnant women are crucial for ensuring both maternal and fetal health. Despite increasing awareness, many women still face nutritional deficiencies due to limited access to accurate information and resources. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a mobile-based nutrition education application tailored for women of reproductive age and pregnant women within a community setting. By offering customized content on dietary guidelines, prenatal nutrition, and health tips, the application aims to bridge the gap between knowledge and practice. A mixed-methods approach was employed, involving pre- and post-intervention surveys, focus group discussions, and health record analysis. The results indicate a marked improvement in nutritional awareness, dietary behavior, and compliance with recommended guidelines. The study concludes that technology-driven nutritional education can be a powerful tool to empower women and improve community health outcomes.
