Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of selected nursing interventions in enhancing mothers' awareness. Included studies comprised randomized controlled trials, quasi-experimental studies, Data extraction and quality assessment were performed using standardized methods. Preliminary findings indicate that nursing interventions, including health education, counseling, nutritional supplementation, and community outreach programs, play a crucial role in improving mothers' awareness of child nutrition and subsequently enhancing the nutritional status of under-five children. These interventions were associated with increased knowledge about appropriate feeding practices, micronutrient supplementation, hygiene, and breastfeeding promotion. Therefore, future research should focus on addressing these contextual factors and exploring innovative strategies to enhance the impact of nursing interventions on maternal awareness.
