The behavior of a pregnant mother to consume healthy food, including the quality and quantity of food that is diverse and balanced according to the needs during pregnancy, is very desirable. Effective education to deliver a balanced nutrition message requires an Interprofessional Educative Collaboration Practice (IPE-CP) approach. The involvement of various professions is thought to be effective in increasing mothers' knowledge and attitudes about balanced nutrition. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the application of IPE-CP on balanced nutrition on the knowledge and attitude of a pregnant mother. The research is a quasi-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design. Samples were taken as many as 60 pregnant women using the Federer formula. Interventions in the form of education and assistance on balanced nutrition provided by the application of IPE-CP. Data is taken by pre-test and post-test questions about balanced nutrition. Data analyzed using the Dependent T-test and the Cohen Effect test. The results showed that there was a significant influence on the application of IPE-CP to maternal knowledge (p=0,003), maternal attitudes (p=0,000) about balanced nutrition. The most influential effect size is the mother's attitude (0,92), so it has a big effect. In conclusion, IPE-CP is very effective in increasing the knowledge and attitude of pregnant women about balanced nutrition. Suggestions for health workers to be able to implement IPE-CP in solving nutrition problems.
