The problem
Intervention: Maternal nurturing care practices based on the WHO nurturing care framework
Who it was tested with: 58 acutely ill children aged 6–24 months and their mothers in Bantul District, Indonesia.
The same group is measured before the intervention and again afterwards, with a baseline and an endline and sometimes a midline. Change is visible, but other causes cannot be ruled out.
"A cross-sectional study was conducted at Banguntapan II Primary Health Center... A total of 58 mother–child dyads were recruited using consecutive sampling. Maternal nurturing care practices were assessed using a modified Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice questionnaire... Child weight gain was evaluated using World Health Organization growth standards." The study lacked a concurrent control group and measured associations at one point in time rather than tracking change over time, making it observational rather than experimental.
Cross-sectional design prevents causal inference; small sample at single health center limits generalizability; no comparison group; inability to track longitudinal weight recovery
