Abstract |
Mothers and children up to two years of age are an important population for developing the national movement. Child rearing refers to the continual interactions that occur throughout childhood, and mothers have a key role in shaping children’s behavior and personality. Community support is also important in promoting effective child-rearing practices. This ethnographic study aims to investigate the role of community organizations in supporting child rearing and the influence of community organizations on childrearing practices. The data were collected from 84 key informants recruited by purposive sampling from pregnant women, social groups, community leaders, health care providers, and officers in local administrative organizations. Multiple data collecting instruments were used, including in-depth interviews, participatory observations, and group discussion. Data were analyzed by content analysis. The findings revealed that there are at least eight community groups related to providing child-rearing support in the community: 1) family, 2) social groups, 3) village health volunteers, 4) family development center, 5) child development center, 6) health service units, 7) local government organization, and 8) community leaders. The findings of this study provide a new body of knowledge on the significance of community empowerment in child rearing. This knowledge is relevant for midwives, community nurses, and those in the maternal and child care system who promote the role of community organizations in strengthening community support of motherhood and early childhood. |
