Abstract

The stunting rate in Surabaya is 27,4%. The implementation of basic feeding rules aims to reduce inappropriate feeding practices and improve children’s nutrition and health. This study aimed to analysed the correlation between a mother’s knowledge, attitude, and practice of basic feeding rules with eating behavior in preschool-age children. A sample size of 41 respondents was selected by simple random sampling for this cross-sectional study. Mothers’ knowledge, attitude, and practice of basic feeding rules were assessed based on Bonnin’s theory in 2005. Children’s eating behavior was assessed using the Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) and categorized based on the Total Frequency Score (TFS) and Total Problem Score (TPS). The study results showed that 39% of children experienced eating problems, while most mothers had good knowledge, attitude, and practice of basic feeding rules. The test results showed no correlation between mothers’ knowledge (p= 0,788 based on TFS; p=0,794 based on TPS) and attitude (p= 0,587 based on TFS; p=0,903 based on TPS) with children’s eating behavior problem. However, there was a significant correlation between mothers’ practice of basic feeding rules with children’s eating behavior based on TFS (p=0,033), but no correlation based on TPS (p= 0,091).
