Abstract

Nutritional problems in preschool children remain a serious concern in Indonesia, with a national stunting prevalence of 21.6%. Although the rate is lower in the working area of the Cibodas Community Health Center, cases of double burden of malnutrition (underweight and overweight) are still present. This study aimed to examine the relationship between dietary patterns, medical history, and participation in the Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) with the nutritional status of preschool children. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, involving 92 preschool children selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using dietary pattern and medical history questionnaires, along with anthropometric measurements, and analyzed using the Chi-Square test. The majority of children had good dietary patterns (52.2%), most had a history of illness (62.0%), and more than half participated in the MBG program (56.5%). Nutritional status was dominated by normal nutrition (73.9%), followed by undernutrition (14.1%) and overnutrition (12.0%). Bivariate analysis indicated significant associations between dietary patterns (p=0.000), medical history (p=0.000), and MBG participation (p=0.000) with nutritional status. These three factors are important determinants of preschool children’s nutritional status, suggesting that nutrition improvement efforts should focus on enhancing dietary patterns, preventing illness, and optimizing MBG program coverage.

Abstract

Stunting remains a public health problem in Indonesia, including in the working area of Rongga Community Health Center. One of the contributing factors to stunting is the inappropriate provision of complementary feeding (MP-ASI). The “Mother and Toddler Class” is an educational program designed to improve mothers’ attitudes toward MP-ASI provision. This study aimed to determine the effect of the Mother and Toddler Class on mothers’ attitudes in providing MP-ASI to infants aged 5–6 months in the Rongga Community Health Center working area in 2025. This research used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of mothers with infants aged 5–6 months, selected using stratified random sampling with a lottery method. Data were collected through attitude questionnaires administered before and after the intervention. Data analysis was performed using the McNemar test. The results showed that the average attitude score of mothers increased after participating in the Mother and Toddler Class. Statistical analysis indicated a p-value < 0.05, meaning there was a significant difference between mothers’ attitudes before and after attending the class. The Mother and Toddler Class had a significant effect on improving mothers’ attitudes in providing MP-ASI to infants aged 5–6 months. This program should be conducted routinely to support stunting prevention through improved complementary feeding practices.
