Descriptive survey methodology employed researcher-developed questionnaires, with results analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Findings revealed most mothers (63.8%) exhibit good general malnutrition knowledge. However, understanding of concrete strategies to reduce malnutrition proved poor (47.3%). The best-recognized strategy was awareness campaigns and health education for mothers (53.3%). Shockingly though, 85.1% knew no specific treatment approaches, while only 19.7% identified Oral Rehydration Solutions for prompt diarrhea management. Low income was the primary barrier to acting on anti-malnutrition techniques (76.1%). Desired supportive strategies were governmental food provision (73.9%) and incorporating nutrition education into antenatal and immunization clinics (56.4%). In light of these gaps between malnutrition awareness and comprehension of practical prevention and treatment activities, targeted educational outreach is imperative. Mass information campaigns for young women and mothers via diverse media are needed to spotlight proper nutrition's importance. Health professionals must organize community health programs addressing nutritional issues. Government sponsorship of nutritional promotion initiatives is critical. Additionally, providers should supply specific evidence-based guidance to mothers to dispel food misconceptions. In summary, malnutrition knowledge gaps require urgent attention to translate high-level awareness into tangible lifestyle changes. Focused learning opportunities alongside governmental, institutional and professional support can eliminate barriers to optimal nutrition. Collaborative education and enabling policies can equip mothers to promote child health....Preview Download Preview +Other Nursing Science project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors contributing to ineffective utilization of immunization programme among mothers in Ekwerazu town Ahiazu Mbaise local government area Imo state»Awareness of female genital mutilation and its implication to reproductive health among mothers in Amaifeke in Orlu local government, Imo state»Accessibility and use of information communication technology (ICT) in the enhancement of nursing education among nursing students in Madonna University Teaching Hospital (MUTH)»Factors influencing the attitudes of women toward family planning in Rivers state»Assessment of nutritional pattern and practice among pregnant women in holy rosary hospital»Assessment of exclusive breastfeeding in the development of under-five children in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Knowledge and practice of quality assurance among nurses working in accident and emergency unit of University of Ilorin teaching hospital, Kwara state»Awareness and practice of pressure sores prevention in the care of the elderly among nurses in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Awareness of determinants of sexual abuse and identification of supportive care among female nursing student of Madonna University»Assessment of practices used in the prevention of Lassa fever infection among health workers in Madonna University Teaching Hospital»Attitude of nurses towards research among accident and emergency nurses of University of Ilorin teaching hospital»Factors that influence the patronage of traditional birth attendants in Umuowa community Orlu Lga, Imo State»Burnout syndrome and use of therapeutic approaches among nursing students in Madonna University, Rivers state»Incidence of protein energy malnutrition among children under five years in General Hospital, Yelwa Yauri, Kebbi state»Factors influencing high rate of abortion among women of childbearing age in Saki, Saki West Local Government Area, Oyo State
