Nagari Kambang Utara also experienced a decrease in the coverage of MCH services during the pandemic. Therefore, to support the recovery of maternal and child health services during the pandemic, health workers need to work together with cadres to reach all communities in order to get the health services they need. Empowering cadres is a step that is needed to help optimize maternal and child health services during the COVID-19 pandemic. The method of activities carried out is by using participatory methods from the target group, namely the health partners and the community of Nagari Kambang Utara. The activity began with conducting a workshop related to the formation of health cadres for the Nagari Kambang Utara. After the workshop was carried out, it was continued with data collection for cadres and training of health cadres in accordance with the work focus, namely cadres of pregnant women, maternity mothers, postpartum mothers, breastfeeding mothers, infant and toddler cadres and family planning cadres. The proposing team and partners agreed to work together to optimize the performance of health cadres by conducting cadre training and evaluation and agreed to carry out cooperation in the next 5 years. The results of this activity are expected to increase the achievement of MCH and family planning services and decrease MMR and IMR.

Abstract

A nutritional status assessment is a process undertaken to facilitating optimal development. Normal growth is defined as the optimal nutritional and health status, as indicated by conformity with the parameters set forth in growth charts. The objective of this activity is to gather data pertaining to the nutritional status of all students in grades IV, V, and VI of SDN 22 Andalas Padang, while concurrently imparting health education related to menarche as part of the students' overall growth and development. The assessment of nutritional status was conducted through the measurement of height and weight, with the calculation of the Body Mass Index and Age, of 110 students in grades IV, V, and VI of SDN 22 Andalas Padang. Additionally, health education about menarche was provided through presentations and the distribution of booklets. The results of the activity demonstrated a high level of acceptance and positive response from the teachers and leaders. The nutritional status of the students was found to be generally good, with only 4% of students having poor nutritional status, 80% having good nutritional status, 11% having overweight status, and 5% having obese nutritional status. Furthermore, the students displayed enthusiasm during the educational sessions. It can be concluded that the majority of SDN 22 Andalas Padang students have a normal nutritional status. Hopefully, this activity will form the basis for schools to carry out monitoring interventions for the nutritional status of school-age children and the continuation of regular activities by involving cross-sectoral partners.
