الملخص بالعربية

This study aims to analyze the personal, social, and professional factors influencing rural women's knowledge, attitudes, and nutritional constraints in the Al-Giza and Al-Muwaqqar regions, as a representative sample of rural women in Jordan. This will contribute to formulating policies that support their role and mitigate the economic challenges they face.

Results indicate that participants in Al-Muwaqqar and Al-Giza are characterized by middle age and secondary education, with limited university education, income disparities, and family structure. Differences in ambition are evident among women, with women in Al-Muwaqqar being characterized by perseverance and responsibility, while women in Al-Giza tend to focus on feeling happy after achieving goals. Women in Al-Muwaqqar excel in their knowledge of healthy nutrition principles, while Al-Giza needs to enhance nutritional awareness. Awareness of food quality and safety practices varies between the two villages. Differences also emerge in daily nutritional practices and consumption patterns, with higher adherence to some healthy habits in Al-Muwaqqar compared to less healthy habits in Al-Giza, calling for targeted nutritional education programs. The results indicate that education enhances rural women's knowledge and attitudes toward healthy nutrition, while age and ambition have negative effects. Nutritional barriers are related to factors beyond personal and social characteristics.

Recommends strengthening nutrition awareness programs, encouraging daily healthy eating practices, and addressing unhealthy behaviors. It is also advisable to support rural women in self-production and healthy nutrition, and to design specialized nutrition education programs to promote healthy consumption patterns. It also calls for developing policies and plans to support income and education, taking into account the influence of age and aspirations on women's responses, and addressing nutritional barriers related to socioeconomic factors.
