Abstract

Low parental nutrition literacy is a major risk factor contributing to growth disorders in children within rural areas. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of nutritional education and growth stimulation interventions in improving parental knowledge in Sajen Village, Mojokerto. The research method employed was a quantitative study with a pre-test and post-test design involving 50 participants. The intervention was conducted through structured counseling supported by educational media, including booklets and flashcards. Analysis results showed a significant increase in the mean knowledge score, where the pre-test score of 15.62 ± 3.25 rose to 19.12 ± 2.77 in the post-test. The mean score difference was 3.5 points, representing a 22.4% increase compared to the baseline. Distributively, 78% of participants experienced an increase in scores, with the highest improvement reaching 13 points. This study concludes that community-based nutritional education interventions are effective in significantly enhancing parental knowledge. These findings support the necessity of implementing similar sustainable educational programs as a preventive measure to improve children's health quality in rural communities.

Abstract

Nutritional status and growth and development stimulation are important factors influencing the quality of life of children and adolescents. Low parental health literacy regarding nutrition and developmental stimulation may increase the risk of growth disorders, developmental delays, and decreased children’s health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This community service program aimed to improve community knowledge regarding balanced nutrition and child growth and development stimulation through community-based education in Sajen Village, Pacet District, Mojokerto Regency. The program was conducted through interactive health education sessions, discussions, demonstrations of developmental stimulation, and the distribution of educational media in the form of leaflets and booklets. Evaluation was performed using pre-test and post-test methods to assess changes in participants’ knowledge after the intervention. The evaluation results demonstrated an improvement in participants’ understanding of balanced nutrition, growth and development stimulation, and the role of parents in supporting children’s quality of life. The participatory educational approach increased participant engagement and facilitated more effective health information transfer. This activity indicates that community-based nutrition and developmental stimulation education can serve as an effective promotive and preventive strategy to improve public health literacy and support the optimization of children’s growth, development, and quality of life in rural communities.
