Quasi-experimental study improved feeding practices in 44 undernourished children, suggesting effective nutrition education models.
Key Points
Post-intervention knowledge showed a significant increase in maternal understanding about feeding practices, reflecting effectiveness.
Mean scores of maternal knowledge rose from 65.9 to 67.6, while feeding practices improved from 94.1 to 96.2 after implementing the intervention.
Observational quasi-experimental design focused on 44 undernourished children receiving local supplementary feeding and guidance through cadre training.
The findings support integrating the monitoring card into broader nutrition programs, as stronger knowledge leads to better feeding practices.
