Leaflet, Knowledge, Pneumonia, PosyanduAbstract
The health problem of toddlers, namely pneumonia, is a serious health problem in Indonesia. To overcome pneumonia, it can be done by educating parents to prevent the occurrence of pneumonia in toddlers which can be done through leaflets. This study aims to evaluate the impact of leaflet media as an educational intervention in increasing maternal knowledge about pneumonia prevention among mothers under five in Kalibawang District, Wonosobo Regency. The pretest-posttest design of one pre-experimental group was used with a total sampling technique, involving 59 posyandu mothers. Maternal knowledge was assessed before and after the intervention. Statistical analysis using the Wilcoxon signed rating test revealed a significant increase in knowledge level (p = 0.000). Before the intervention, 60.9% of respondents had moderate knowledge, which increased to 86.7% indicating good knowledge after the intervention. The study concluded that leaflet media effectively increased maternal knowledge about pneumonia prevention. These findings highlight the potential of leaflet-based health education tools to be used in broader public health initiatives to increase public awareness and reduce disease incidence
