Abstract

An effective nutrition education model potentially improves women’s dietary habits during pregnancy, leading to positive health outcomes for both mothers and their offspring. This review aimed to explore existing nutrition education models delivered to pregnant women in Indonesia and improvements needed in the future. This review investigated scientific literature published between 2013 and 2023. Three themes were found from this review: 1) Nutrition education can be delivered in various ways, where pregnant women require different nutritional education approaches according to their socioeconomic background; 2) Healthcare professionals had a number of obstacles in providing nutrition education for pregnant women; 3) Most research reported nutrition education increased knowledge and awareness of pregnant women in nutrition, but rarely research reported changes in eating behaviour. This review has identified several key recommendations to enhance the nutrition education model for pregnant women. These recommendations encompass: 1) Establishment of regulatory guidelines and support from health authorities to bolster antenatal nutrition education; 2) Integration of nutrition education within routine antenatal care (ANC) sessions; 3) Customized nutrition education programs tailored to the socioeconomic backgrounds of women; 4) Implementation of strategies to enhance skills conducive to promoting dietary behaviour changes; 5) Further research focusing on nutrition education models, particularly on women’s dietary behavior modifications; and 6) Strengthening peer and community support systems that facilitate nutritional behavioral changes during pregnancy.
