World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 melaporkan data pemberian ASI
eksklusif secara global, sekitar 44% bayi usia 0-6 bulan di seluruh dunia yang
mendapatkan ASI eksklusif selama periode 2015-2020. Capaian ASI eksklusif di
Banda Aceh dan di Puskesmas Lampaseh pada tahun 2020 masing-masing
sebesar 44%. Pemberian ASI eksklusif yang masih rendah akan berdampak pada
kualitas dan daya hidup generasi penerus. Beberapa faktor yang dapat
mempengaruhi keberhasilan ibu dalam memberikan ASI eksklusif diantaranya
adalah faktor pengetahuan dan budaya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk
mengetahui hubungan pengetahuan dan budaya dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif
di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Lampaseh. Jenis penelitian deskriptif korelatif
dengan desain cross sectional study. Populasi dan sampel penelitian ini adalah
73 orang ibu menyusui bersuku Aceh dengan bayi usia 0-6 bulan. Teknik
pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner yang disusun
sendiri oleh peneliti dan sudah melewati tahap uji validitas yang sebelumnya
sudah dilakukan content validity indeks dan construct validity, kuesioner disebar
melalui google form. Data dianalisis menggunakan chi-square. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa terdapat hubungan antara pengetahuan ibu dengan
pemberian ASI eksklusif (P-value = 0.045) namun tidak terdapat hubungan
antara budaya dengan pemberian ASI eksklusif (P-value = 0.790). Disarankan
kepada tenaga kesehatan untuk memberikan penyuluhan agar meningkatkan
promosi kesehatan terkait pemberian ASI eksklusif dan juga memberikan
informasi tentang budaya yang mendukung ibu dalam memberikan ASI
eksklusif.

The World Health Organization (WHO) 2021 reported that, globally, only 44% of infants aged 0-6 months old received exclusive breastfeeding from 2015 to 2020. Meanwhile, another report also revealed that only 44% of mothers in Banda Aceh and the community health center (Puskesmas) of Lampaseh practiced exclusive breastfeeding. Low exclusive breastfeeding practice will disrupt the development of the infants. Several factors are often associated with breastfeeding practice, including knowledge and culture. This study examined the correlation between knowledge, culture, and breastfeeding practice among mothers in the working area of Lampaseh Community Health Center. This research was a correlative descriptive study with a cross-sectional design. The population and sample of this study were 73 mothers of Acehnese ethnicity who have 0-6 bulan month-old children. The instrument used in the data collection was a questionnaire designed by the researcher and has been previously tested for its content validity indexes and construct validity. The questionnaire was distributed using Google Form. The data were analyzed using Chi-Square. The results showed a correlation between the mother’s knowledge and their breastfeeding practice (p-value = 0.045). in contrast, the results showed no correlation between culture and breastfeeding practice (p-value = 0.790). Health workers are urged to provide counseling to raise mothers’ awareness of the importance of exclusive breastfeeding and provide them with information regarding a culture that supports mothers in giving exclusive breastfeeding to their children.
