- Abstract
Introduction: Disorders of cognitive development in children aged 1-3 years are generally caused by stunting conditions and the role of mother care that is less than optimal. This study aimed to determine the effect of maternal role identity on cognitive development in children aged 1-3 years in the public health center. Methods: The research design used a quasiexperiment with two groups pretest-posttest design. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 60 mothers with children aged 1-3 years with cognitive developmental disorders. The instrument is an observation sheet on applying maternal role identity according to the intention-based maternal role attainment module and a capture scale assessment sheet. Data analysis was undertaken by using paired samples t-test and independent samples t-test. Results: The results showed that most mothers had stunted children aged 12-24 months (46.7 %) and males (66.7 %). Applying maternal role identity according to the intention-based maternal role attainment module effectively increased cognitive development in stunting and normal children aged 1-3 years (p-value = 0.0001). Conclusion: It is highly recommended that the intervention for applying for the mother’s role according to the intention-based maternal role attainment module be implemented to increase the role of the mother’s care in nurturing and stimulating children’s cognitive development. Therefore, Public health center cadres need to provide counseling related to the application of the intention-based maternal role attainment module.
