The study examined the impact of nutritional education on the health of reproductive women in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State. The study was necessitated by concerns about inadequate nutritional knowledge, poor dietary habits and unhealthy lifestyle practices that may affect the health and well-being of reproductive women and their unborn children. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population comprised reproductive women and relevant health workers within the study area, while a sample of 120 reproductive women was selected for the study. A self-structured questionnaire was used as the major instrument for data collection. The questionnaire consisted of sections covering respondents’ demographic characteristics and items relating to the availability of nutritional education, antenatal nutritional counselling, healthy lifestyle, improvement in lifestyle and factors affecting nutritional knowledge and habits. Data collected were analysed using frequency counts, percentages and chi-square statistics, with the hypotheses tested at the 0.05 level of significance. The study is expected to establish the extent to which nutritional education received through antenatal consultation and other health education programmes contributes to healthy dietary practices and lifestyles among reproductive women. It also seeks to identify factors that may hinder adequate nutritional knowledge and healthy eating habits among reproductive women in the study area. Based on the findings, appropriate recommendations will be made to health authorities, healthcare providers and other relevant stakeholders on strengthening nutritional education during antenatal care and promoting healthier lifestyles among reproductive women in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State.
