Abstract

Currently, Indonesia is facing the problem of stunting, including in Magetan. The prevalence of stunting in 2022 was 17.2%, decreasing by 4.34% to 14.9%. Although this prevalence has decreased, it has not yet reached the 2024 RPJMN target of less than 14%. In Pandeyan Village, 14% of toddlers still experience stunting. Strong efforts are needed to reduce the stunting target. This stunting problem will be more easily prevented through Posyandu (Integrated Health Posts). Posyandu (Integrated Health Post) is an integrated service post for mothers and toddlers in a specific, agreed-upon area, driven by the community to provide health services. Posyandu is a form of community-based health service (UKBM) established by the community based on community initiative and needs, particularly for toddlers. The purpose of this community service is to raise public awareness of stunting prevention through health promotion, education for mothers of toddlers, and the formation of the Complete Stunting Response Mothers Movement Group (GITa TingTas). The method used is training to provide mothers of toddlers with understanding and competencies about exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding (MP-ASI), monitoring child growth and development, and the importance of environmental cleanliness. The results of the knowledge test before and after the test (post-test) showed that knowledge about stunting increased from 11% to 23%, and knowledge about stunting increased from 48% to 61%. Meanwhile, in the sufficient and insufficient knowledge categories, the percentages decreased during the pre- and post-tests. The sufficient knowledge category decreased from 23% to 16%, and the insufficient knowledge category decreased from 18% to 0%. Conclusion: The Cadre Training has had an impact on increasing mothers' knowledge about stunting prevention in Pandeyan Village, Maospati District, Magetan Regency. Recommendations: Ongoing training on stunting is needed to ensure mothers remain responsive to stunting prevention. Continuous cross-sectoral and cross-program efforts are needed so that stunting can be addressed with the participation of the entire community.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever remains a major public health concern in tropical regions, including Indonesia. Household-level knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) play a critical role in sustainable vector control. This study aimed to compare KAP regarding dengue prevention among household heads in high- and low-incidence areas in Magetan Regency, Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among 785 household heads selected using stratified random sampling. A total of 390 respondents were recruited from high-incidence areas (≥11 cases/year) and 395 from low-incidence areas (≤10 cases/year). Data were collected using a validated and reliable structured questionnaire measuring knowledge (45 items), attitudes (18 items), and practices (25 items). Spearman rank correlation was used to examine associations between sociodemographic factors and KAP scores, and the Mann–Whitney U test was applied to compare differences between groups. Results: Knowledge and attitude scores did not differ significantly between high- and low-incidence areas (p > 0.05). However, prevention practice scores were significantly higher in high-incidence areas (Mean = 15.51; SD = 4.37) compared to low-incidence areas (Mean = 12.94; SD = 5.91; p < 0.001). Age was positively associated with attitudes and practices in both areas, while education level was significantly correlated with knowledge. Employment status was associated with prevention practices, whereas gender showed no significant association with KAP. Conclusions: Dengue prevention practices were stronger in high-incidence areas, suggesting that direct exposure to disease risk influences behavioral responses more than knowledge alone. Strengthening community empowerment and behavior-focused interventions is essential, particularly in low-incidence areas, to enhance preparedness and prevent future outbreaks.
