Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARTI) remains a health problem for toddlers\nin Indonesia and the leading cause of death for toddlers. In addition to\ncausing health problems, ARTI can also cause death. Indonesia, as one of the\ncountries signing of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), is required\nto be able to reduce toddler mortality rate. The research intends to find the\neffectiveness of treatment training for children with ARTI in increasing the\nknowledge, attitude, and skill of mothers of toddlers in the working area of\nCommunity Health Centre Sukajadi, Bandung. It employed a quasiexperimental\nmethod with the pre-posttest two group designs. The sample, taken\nwith the random sampling technique, consisted of 26 mothers of toddlers for\nthe control and intervention groups, respectively. For the intervention group,\nthe treatment training for children with ARTI was given for 4 - 5 hours in one\nday, and the control group was only given a conventional extension program\nfor 15 minutes. The knowledge, attitudes, and skills before and after intervention\nwere measured three days after the training using the same instrument\nused during the pretest. The results of this research show that in terms of the\neffectiveness of the training using modules, there were differences in the average\nscores for knowledge with p value (0.030 â�¤ �± (0.05), for the aspect of attitudes\nwith p value (0.046) â�¤ �± (0.05), and for the sub-variable of skills as\nproven by the p value of (0.046) â�¤ �± (0.05). Based on these results, the intervention\nof ARTI treatment training at home had significant effect on the\nknowledge, attitudes, and skills of the toddlersâ�� mothers. With this inference,\nit is recommended that the research results can be made a topic of study for\nthe development of a training model or standardized training guidelines that\nwill be used by health officers at Community Health Centre Sukajadi, Bandung\nCity Indonesian.
