Abstract

Stunting, characterized by impaired linear growth due to chronic malnutrition or recurrent infections, is prevalent in both urban (31.5%) and rural (40.0%) areas from 2010 to 2018. In 2013, rural areas had a 42.1% prevalence, while urban areas had 32.5%. This study aims to assess differences in knowledge, attitudes, and skills of mothers regarding complementary feeding for toddlers aged 6–24 months. It’s a quantitative cross-sectional study conducted in Bangkalan Health Center (urban) and Kokop Health Center (rural). Each area had 42 mothers with toddlers in the sample. Results show urban mothers with good knowledge (52.4%), positive attitude (45.29%), and sufficient skills (47.6%) in complementary feeding. Rural mothers have insufficient knowledge (50%), negative attitude (50%), and lacking skills (52.4%). Mann-Whitney tests indicate significant differences in knowledge (p = 0.02) and attitude (p = 0.01), but no significant skill difference (p = 0.23). Recommendations include education methods combining theory and practice to improve mothers’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills in complementary feeding.
