Abstract

Background: Bangkalan district has the highest incidence of stunting in East Java. Various efforts have been made to accelerate the reduction of stunting, but maximum results have not been achieved. This study aimed to determine the impact of family empowerment based on Madura sociocultural structures on the ability to prevent stunting. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional design with a population of families with school-aged children in PAUD, Regency area of Bangkalan, with a sample of 280 individuals drawn by stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed using SEM. Results: The results showed that the Madurese family culture and social structure were built on religious, kinship, and economic interest indicators. Family empowerment, with aspects of family structural strength, family functioning, and family values, influences the family's ability to prevent growth retardation. Family empowerment in stunting prevention is strongly influenced by the culture and social structure of the Madura family. Indicators of stunting prevention skills include the ability to meet family nutrition, fertility management, growth and development monitoring, personal and environmental hygiene patterns, and family capacity to modify the environment. The more power a family has, the more impact it has on their ability to prevent stunting. Conclusion: Stunting based on Madhura culture can be achieved through the integrative implementation of stunting. Local government organizations involve informal community figures

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a persistent malnutrition issue caused by prolonged inadequate nutritional intake. The results of the preliminary study that was conducted found low stunting prevention behavior in infants aged 0-6 months in Jaddih Village. The objective of the research was to evaluate the efficiency of the Emo-Demo method in improve knowledge and skills in stunting prevention behavior. Methods: The research design was quasi-experimental. The independent variables was health education with the Emo-Demo method, and the dependent variables were knowledge, skills, and behavior. This study used questionnaires and statistical tests including the Wilcoxon test, paired sample t-test, independent t-test, Spearman Rank, and linear regression. Results: The Wilcoxon test obtained p=0.000<0.05, indicating a difference in knowledge before and after the Emo-Demo intervention. The paired sample t-test obtained p=0.000<0.05, indicating a difference in knowledge before and after the lecture intervention. A p-value of 0.000<0.05 was found, indicating a difference in skills before and after the Emo-Demo intervention. However, p = 0.083 > 0.05 indicated no significant difference in skills before and after the lecture intervention. The independent t-test showed significant differences in knowledge (p = 0.022) and skills (p = 0.021) between treatment and control groups. Spearman Rank analysis revealed significant correlations between knowledge and behavior (p = 0.047, r = 0.354), and between skills and behavior (p = 0.004, r = 0.494). Combined, knowledge and skills significantly influenced behavior (p = 0.046). Conclusion: The Emo Demo method is effective and efficient in increasing knowledge, skills and behavior related to stunting prevention care. Health workers and service facility staff are expected to help reduce stunting prevalence by promoting maternal preventive behaviors for infants aged 0-6 months through health education using the Emo-Demo method.
