Abstract
Background Developmental stimulation at an early age improves children's abilities in all areas of
development. The quality of care plays a role in the success of stimulation, and the video guided developmental
stimulation expected to be a good learning tool for mothers and caregivers. Objective To assess the
development quotient (Developmental Quotient, DQ) 6-9 months infants from mothers who received a
video guided developmental stimulation compared to babies who were stimulated by mothers based on the
Mother & Child Health book (MCH book). Methods An open randomized controlled trial assessing the
developmental levels of 6-9 months infants before and after stimulation by mother using a video guided
developmental stimulation compared to a control group that performed stimulation based on the MCH book.
The first step was the synthesis process of the videos and then validated. The videos were given to mothers
in the intervention group for 3 months. The level of development (DQ) using Griffith-III were done before
and after intervention in the two groups. Results A total 87 infants aged 6-9 month were included. The pretest
level of child developmental quotient (DQ score) in the intervention group was 103.57 + 12.92 increased
to 118.71 + 7.84 in postest, compared to 99.23 + 9.39 increased to 103.62 + 9.30 in the control group
(P< 0.001). Conclusion In this study, the video guided developmental stimulation by mother significantly
increased the DQ score of 6-9 months infants higher than infant that stimulated by mother using MCH book.

Abstract
Background Neonatal anthropometric measurements are inexpensive, non-invasive, and an important clinical
tool for diagnosis and monitoring growth, especially in preterm and sick neonates. A precise and periodic
growth plotting will provide the clinician with important information. However, these simple measurements are
still a challenge for health workers in nursery. Objective To know the impact of training and accompaniment
of NICU staff towards their knowledge, attitude, and behavior in monitoring neonatal anthropometry. Methods
A quasi-experimental study involving all NICU staff (n=50) was conducted in Jailolo District Hospital, West
Halmahera. We managed interventions in form of one-day training and followed by one-month accompaniment
in monitoring neonatal anthropometry. Data collection was performed by observing NICU staff using
identical checklist sheets at pre-intervention and post-intervention. Total scores from observation checklist
sheets were compared and analyzed. The mean differences between pre-intervention and post-intervention
scores from each checklist item were analyzed by paired t-test. All statistical analyses in this study assumed
a confidence value of 95 percent. Results A paired-samples t-test was conducted to compare pre-intervention
and post-intervention scores for knowledge, attitude, and behavior of NICU staff in monitoring neonatal
anthropometry. There was a significant difference in the mean knowledge scores [3.90 (SD 1.63) vs. 7.18
(SD 1.04); MD=3.28], attitude scores [10.16 (SD 1.95) vs. 13.94 (SD 0.24); MD=3.78], and behavior scores
[4.22 (SD 0.99) vs. 8.92 (SD 0.85); MD=4.70], with P-value <0.05. Conclusion Interventions in form of
training and accompaniment for NICU staff increase their knowledge, attitude, and behavior in monitoring
neonatal anthropometry.
