    Maternal nutrition and weight gain significantly impact fetal weight in single pregnancies. Understanding maternal knowledge on malnutrition is crucial for targeted nursing interventions and improved newborn outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Obstetrics and Gynecology
    • Maternal-Fetal Medicine
    • Public Health Nutrition

    Background:

    • Fetal weight is a critical indicator of neonatal health.
    • Maternal factors like nutrition and weight gain are known to influence fetal development.
    • Understanding these influences is vital for prenatal care, particularly in diverse urban and periurban populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between maternal nutritional status, weight gain, age, and residence with fetal weight.
    • To assess the knowledge and views of malnourished mothers regarding nutrition during and after pregnancy.
    • To provide evidence-based nursing recommendations for improving maternal and infant health outcomes.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 577 single pregnancies delivered between January and April 1986.

  • Data collected included maternal nutrition, weight, age, residence, and newborn weight.
  • A survey of 89 malnourished mothers assessed their knowledge and received instructions.

    • Main Results:

    • Maternal nutrition and weight gain were found to be key determinants of fetal weight.
    • Maternal age and place of residence showed varying degrees of influence on newborn weight.
    • The survey highlighted gaps in maternal understanding and adherence to nutritional guidance.

    Conclusions:

    • Optimizing maternal nutrition and ensuring adequate weight gain are essential for promoting healthy fetal growth.
    • Targeted health education for mothers, especially those identified as malnourished, is necessary.
    • Nursing interventions should focus on improving prenatal nutritional knowledge and practices.
