Abstract

"Purpose. This study explores comparing mothers' knowledge of health education conducted through web-based audiovisual media between the intervention group and the control group who only read books on maternal and child health. Design/methodology/approach. This study employed criteria for the respondents: mothers who have toddlers, both in the control and treatment groups. We collected the data from February 2021 to May 2021. The respondents were asked to fill out a questionnaire (post-test). Meanwhile, for the control group, after the pre-test, the respondents read a book on maternal and child health for 10 minutes, then continued filling out the questionnaire (post-test). We used Wilcoxon in order to answer our research questions and further analyze our data. Findings. Health education through web applications is more effective with statistical values, 60 for pre-test scores and 80 for post-test scores (p = 0.000), while the score of education which is only by reading books from the control group, shows the same score for both pre and post-test score, 70 (p = 0.960). Practical implications. Health education through web-based applications consisting of videos about the growth and development of toddlers and stunting can increase mothers' knowledge about monitoring the growth and development of toddlers and is expected to prevent stunting."
