Abstract

Background: Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) among pregnant women remains a public health problem affecting maternal and fetal health outcomes. Local food utilization as part of Supplementary Feeding Programs (PMT) may serve as an alternative strategy to support maternal nutrition because it is accessible, affordable, and culturally appropriate. Objective: This study aimed to describe local food utilization among pregnant women with CED in supporting PMT programs. Methods: A quantitative descriptive design was used. The study population consisted of all 25 pregnant women with CED using a total sampling technique. Data were collected using validated and reliable structured questionnaires and analyzed descriptively using frequency and percentage distributions. Results: The results showed that most respondents had poor knowledge (40%), followed by moderate knowledge (32%) and good knowledge (28%). Regarding attitudes, 56% of respondents showed negative attitudes, while 44% demonstrated positive attitudes toward local food utilization in supporting PMT programs. Conclusion: Local food utilization in supporting PMT programs among pregnant women with CED remains suboptimal. Strengthening nutrition education and continuous assistance from healthcare providers, particularly midwives, are needed to improve maternal knowledge and positive attitudes toward local food utilization during pregnancy.
