Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of underweight in toddlers in the Molino Community Health Center mining area increased sharply from 9.98% (2023) to 15.32% (2024), exceeding the national target of 12% and reflecting a serious nutritional crisis in North Morowali Regency which also increased from 6.41% to 13.24%. This condition differs from the stability of the national prevalence of around 16.29%, indicating a specific problem in the mining area related to the imbalance of macro and micro nutrient intake. This study aims to macronutrient and micronutrient intake as determinants of underweight among toddlers in toddlers at the Molino Community Health Center, North Morowali Regency. Method: This study used a quantitative approach with a case-control matching design of toddlers in the Molino Community Health Center area from April to June. A sample of 186 toddlers (93 underweight, 93 with normal nutrition) was selected from a population of 1,253 children using the Slovin formula and cluster random sampling. Result: The results of the analysis showed that there was an influence of limited access to health services with OR=1.729, while the most dominant factors were the influence of macronutrient intake (OR=4.912; CI 95%: 2.635–9.159) and the influence of micronutrient intake (OR=4.013; CI 95%: 2.179–7.390) on the nutritional status of toddlers. Conclusion: The analysis model shows that the variation in nutritional status is quite good, it is recommended to carry out family-based nutritional interventions, increase education for parents, and strengthen community economic empowerment programs through integrated promotive and preventive services at the Community Health Center.

Abstract

Introduction: Stunting remains a chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia, including in Southeast Sulawesi and Kendari City, particularly in coastal areas such as Kendari, Abeli, and West Kendari Districts. One of the main causes of stunting is inappropriate provision of complementary foods in terms of timing, quality, and quantity. Many mothers provide Complementary Foods for Breast Milk too early, lack variety, and rely on instant foods. Low maternal self-efficacy also influences Complementary Foods for Breast Milk provision practices. This study aims to Effect of Comprehensive Complementary Feeding Intervention on Maternal Self-Efficacy in Feeding Infants Aged 6–12 Months. Method: The study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre-test, post-test, and control group design. It was conducted in May–June 2025 in the Abeli, Mata, and Benu-Benua Community Health Centers. The sample consisted of 67 infants aged 6–12 months selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews (with 2x24-hour recall), and weight measurements. Result: The data were not normally distributed (Kolmogorov Smirnov test), but there was a significant effect of comprehensive complementary feeding intervention on self-efficacy (p < value = 0.000). Conclusion: Mothers of toddlers are expected to increase their self-confidence and provide a variety of foods daily. Community health centers need to provide comprehensive, practical complementary feeding education and training, and future researchers are encouraged to examine other factors, such as psychosocial and environmental aspects.
