The Effectiveness of a Structured Teaching Module in Increasing Mother’s Awareness of the Nutritional Status of Children under Five Years Old

Abstract

Malnutrition among children under five remains a critical global health issue, particularly in developing nations. A mother’s awareness of her child's nutritional status plays a vital role in preventing and addressing malnutrition. This review examines the effectiveness of structured teaching modules in enhancing mothers' knowledge of child nutrition, with a focus on malnutrition prevention, dietary diversity, and early detection of nutritional deficiencies.
