Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health issue in Indonesia. In Sukahaji Village, 56 stunted children, 8 infant deaths, and 48 pregnant women at risk were recorded due to inadequate nutrition and maternal health monitoring. This activity aimed to improve the knowledge of pregnant women, prospective mothers, and health cadres regarding nutrition, pregnancy care, and early stunting prevention. Health education was conducted using a participatory approach through lectures, discussions, Q&A sessions, and educational media. Evaluation was carried out using pretest and postest instruments. Participants’ knowledge significantly improved; the “good” category increased frpm 31% to 69%, while the “poor” category decreased from 25% to 6%. Participatory health education effectively improved knowledge and has strategic implications for preventing stunting and reducing infant mortality in Sukahaji Village.
