Abstract: SIREGAR, EMIR ALKISSAH ANANDA, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, October, 1981. Confluence of Some Ecological Factors to Nutrition Knowledge and Attitudes of Husbands/ Wives in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Major Professor : Dr. Pura T. Depositaric. The purpose of this study was to determine the confluence of some ecological factors to nutrition knowledge and attitude. Specifically, it sought to: (1) determine the nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (2) ascertain the relationship of nutrition knowledge and attitude to some demographic characteristics, some socio-economic factors, involvement in related community activities and access to sources of information to nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (3) determine the confluence of ecological factors that affect nutrition knowledge and attitude; and (4) find out the relationship between nutrition knowledge and attitude. The study included 205 husbands and wives selected from six villages in Way Abung transmigration area. Interview schedule was used in gathering data. The husbands and wives tended to be adequately and moderately informed about nutrition knowledge. There were more husbands having favorable attitude towards nutrition compared to wives. A significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitudes and educational attainment of husbands and wives. Likewise, a significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of husbands with some socio-economic factors such as annual household income, level of living, production consumed from the rice field and the dry land, production Consumed from home yard, weekly consumption, and various important expenses. A significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of wives and some socio-economic factors such as annual household income, production consumed from home yard and other household expenditures. Involvement in related community activities such as member- ship and positions held by husbands in organization, was found positively related to their nutrition knowledge. On the other hand, positions held by wives in organization was positively related to their nutrition knowledge and attitude; membership of wives in organization was only positively related to their nutrition knowledge. A significant positive relationship also existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of husbands and access to sources of information variables such as contact with extension worker for rice production, contact with health versonnc1 for medical treatment, supplementary feeding and milk feeding:, and exposure to mass media. Furthermore, nutrition knowledge and attitude of wives were found positively related to contact with drug store dealer for medical treatment. From the results of the stepwise multiple regression it appears that educational attainment, contact with resource persons (such as extension worker, health personnel, tradition 1 healer and drug store dealer), exposure to mass media, food production, household expenditures, weekly consumption, membership and position in organization and level of living were considered as good predictors to determine nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives. The remaining variables did not show significant contribution. However, these variables tended to have an indirect influence towards nutrition knowledge and attitude when two of them were combined and interacted as shown in the model.

SIREGAR, EMIR ALKISSAH ANANDA, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, October, 1981. Confluence of Some Ecological Factors to Nutrition Knowledge and Attitudes of Husbands/ Wives in Lampung Province, Indonesia. Major Professor : Dr. Pura T. Depositaric.

The purpose of this study was to determine the confluence of some ecological factors to nutrition knowledge and attitude.

Specifically, it sought to: (1) determine the nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (2) ascertain the relationship of nutrition knowledge and attitude to some demographic characteristics, some socio-economic factors, involvement in related community activities and access to sources of information to nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives; (3) determine the confluence of ecological factors that affect nutrition knowledge and attitude; and (4) find out the relationship between nutrition knowledge and attitude.

The study included 205 husbands and wives selected from six villages in Way Abung transmigration area. Interview schedule was used in gathering data.

The husbands and wives tended to be adequately and moderately informed about nutrition knowledge. There were more husbands having favorable attitude towards nutrition compared to wives.

A significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitudes and educational attainment of husbands and wives.

Likewise, a significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of husbands with some socio-economic factors such as annual household income, level of living, production consumed from the rice field and the dry land, production Consumed from home yard, weekly consumption, and various important expenses.

A significant positive relationship existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of wives and some socio-economic factors such as annual household income, production consumed from home yard and other household expenditures.

Involvement in related community activities such as member- ship and positions held by husbands in organization, was found positively related to their nutrition knowledge. On the other hand, positions held by wives in organization was positively
related to their nutrition knowledge and attitude; membership of wives in organization was only positively related to their nutrition knowledge.

A significant positive relationship also existed between nutrition knowledge and attitude of husbands and access to sources of information variables such as contact with extension worker for rice production, contact with health versonnc1 for medical treatment, supplementary feeding and milk feeding:, and exposure to mass media.

Furthermore, nutrition knowledge and attitude of wives were found positively related to contact with drug store dealer for medical treatment.

From the results of the stepwise multiple regression it appears that educational attainment, contact with resource persons (such as extension worker, health personnel, tradition 1 healer and drug store dealer), exposure to mass media, food production, household expenditures, weekly consumption, membership and position in organization and level of living were considered as good predictors to determine nutrition knowledge and attitudes of husbands and wives. The remaining variables did not show significant contribution. However, these variables tended to have an indirect influence towards nutrition knowledge and attitude when two of them were combined and interacted as shown in the model.
