Abstract

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children due to chronic malnutrition from the age of 0–59 months, which is marked by a nutritional status index (PB/U) or (TB/U) with a Z-Score of less than -2 SD, which results in a child's height not being according to his age. The working area of the Kilasah Health Center has been the LOKUS (Focus Location) of stunting until now because it still contributes to a fairly high number of cases. This study aims to determine the factors associated with the incidence of stunting in children aged 0–59 months in the work area of the Kilasah Health Center, Serang City, in 2023. The method used is an observational study with a case-control approach. The instruments used were questionnaires and observation sheets. The research sample consisted of two groups, namely the case group of 44 respondents and the control group of 44 respondents, which were taken by the purposive sampling technique. The results of the univariate test in the stunting toddler group showed that the mothers had poor knowledge of 84.1%, 88.6% did not exclusively breastfeed, 36.4% did not have healthy latrines, and 93.2% did not have clean water facilities that met the requirements. Bivariate analysis using Chi Square obtained the results that mother's knowledge (Pv = 0.000), exclusive breastfeeding (Pv = 0.000), healthy latrines (PV = 0.000), and clean water facilities (Pv = 0.0013) have a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting in children aged 0-59 months. The suggestion from this research is that it is necessary to increase counseling with booklets/flip sheet regarding stunting and the importance of nutritious food for toddlers.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health problem in Indonesia, particularly in peri-urban and high-burden areas. Inadequate infant feeding practices and incomplete immunization are recognized as modifiable determinants of chronic undernutrition, yet local evidence examining their association with stunting is limited. This study examined the association between basic immunization status and exclusive breastfeeding with stunting among toddlers in Cilowong Subdistrict, Serang Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted among 100 toddlers aged 6–59 months selected through simple random sampling from the local Posyandu registry. Data were collected between February 2025 using structured interviews with mothers or primary caregivers and standardized anthropometric measurements. Stunting was defined as height-for-age Z-score (HAZ) < −2 SD based on WHO Child Growth Standards. Immunization status was verified using the child’s KMS and health center records, while exclusive breastfeeding was assessed through maternal report. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and chi-square tests to calculate prevalence ratios (PR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). The prevalence of stunting was 66.0%. Incomplete basic immunization was found in 63.0% of children, and only 15.0% had received exclusive breastfeeding. Incomplete immunization was significantly associated with stunting (PR = 5.05; 95% CI: 2.07–12.32; p = 0.001), as was non-exclusive breastfeeding (PR = 11.46; 95% CI: 2.95–44.41; p < 0.001). Incomplete immunization and lack of exclusive breastfeeding are strongly associated with stunting, underscoring the need for integrated community-based interventions through primary health care services.

Abstract

Mental disorders are becoming increasingly prevalent across all age groups, particularly among adolescents. Given that adolescence is a transitional phase between childhood and adulthood, this activity was implemented due to the low level of understanding among adolescents regarding mental health issues and the persistent stigma associated with psychological problems. This community service activity aims to improve students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to mental health through audiovisual media-based health promotion. The implementation method includes preparation, intervention, and evaluation. The intervention involved screening educational videos on mental health topics, followed by interactive discussions and group reflections. Evaluation was conducted by comparing pre-test and post-test results. The results showed a significant improvement in students' knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors after the intervention. Students became more open and understood the importance of maintaining mental health, and were more willing to seek help if experiencing psychological distress. This activity received a positive response from both the school and students. Audiovisual media has proven effective as an educational tool for adolescents. Going forward, it is hoped that this program can be continued and incorporated into ongoing character development for students at school.
