Abstract

Introduction: The Mappanretemme Media Module is a development of the previous module, which was developed into a website-based application that adapted the previous Mappanretemme module and enriched it with a food menu for breastfeeding mothers. This application was introduced under the name “SUN 4 Catin”. This study assessed the increase in knowledge and attitudes of prospective bride and groom couples after using the Mappanretemme Plus module.

Methods: : This quasi-experimental study used a one-group pre- and post-test research design, and sampling was conducted using simple random sampling. This study was conducted on 46 prospective brides and grooms in KUA Soreang District, Pare City.

Results: The knowledge variable showed an increase in the good category before and after, with a percentage of 21.74%, and the less category experienced a decrease after, with a percentage decrease of 28.26%, and the Wilcoxon test results obtained p-value = 0.005 (p<0.05), indicating that there was an increase in the prospective bride and groom's knowledge before and after education using the SUN 4 Catin application. For the attitude variable, there was an increase in the positive attitude category before and after, with a percentage of 11.22%, whereas, for the negative attitude category, there was a decrease in the attitude category before and after, with a percentage of 15.67%. The Wilcoxon test results showed a p-value = 0.127 (p>0.05), indicating no difference in the attitudes of prospective bride and groom couples regarding exclusive breastfeeding and lactation management using SUN 4 Catin application.

Conclusions: The SUN 4 Catin application module increased knowledge and improved the positive attitudes of prospective bride-and-groom couples.
