Journal Title: Kesmas: National Public Health Journal - Year 2016, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
The main cause of the undernutrition beside the infectious diseases is inappropriate caring practice and optimum feeding becomes one of ways to overcome long-term consequences of undernutrition. This study aimed to determine correlation between predisposing factors with complementary feeding practice among 9 – 11 month-old infants in Jakarta urban slum area. This cross-sectional study included 50 sitters of 9 – 11 month-old infants on May 2012. Data was collected through interview using questionnaire. There was no significant correlation between age of the sitters with the complementary feeding practice (p value = 0.645) as well as correlation between sitters with infants (p value = 0.724), occupation of sitters (p value = 1.000) and the number of infants in a family (p value = 0.738) which showed there was no significant correlation between those three factors with complementary feeding practice. Otherwise, there was a significant correlation between education and knowledge of sitters with complementary feeding practice (p value = 0.012 and p value = 0.005).
