Parents knowledge, attitude, and practice on nutrition of child with severe acute malnutrition in Awi Zone public Hospitals, Northwest Ethiopia, 2023

Parental awareness toward child nutrition is considered a significant target for public health interventions. Delivery site, presence of comorbidities, and practice were the significant factors associated with parents' awareness. The majority of parents were aware of the positive impact of child nutrition on overall wellbeing. The State of Awi Zone, Northwest Ethiopia, would be cost-effective to train and professionally develop the Awi Zone public Hospitals and primary healthcare workers to be more experts in tackling parents' nutritional awareness by providing family counseling.
