Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional issue threatening future generations, significantly influenced by early marriage practices. In East Java, Indonesia, early marriage has become a pressing concern, with a 10.44% increase in 2022, exceeding the national average. The region reported the highest number of early marriage dispensation requests in Indonesia, totaling 15,337 cases, or 29.4% of the national total. In the Madurese community, early marriage is often viewed as a customary practice, driven by unintended pregnancies and parental pressure. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of psychoeducation regarding stunting and early marriage culture in promoting stunting prevention behaviors among adolescent girls. A mixed-method approach was employed, using a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test groups, focusing on female adolescents aged 14-21 at the Wonoayu community health center. The independent variables include psychoeducation on stunting and early marriage culture, while the dependent variable is stunting prevention behavior. Data were collected using questionnaires for the quantitative aspect and in-depth interviews for the qualitative component. Results indicate significant improvements in stunting prevention behavior scores post-intervention. Psychoeducation effectively enhances knowledge about stunting's causes and preventive measures, enabling adolescents to take proactive steps. Furthermore, it fosters positive attitudes toward nutrition and reproductive health, encouraging healthier habits among participants.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between antenatal care history and parenting patterns in toddlers with the incidence of stunting in the Wonoayu Health Center area, Sidoarjo. Through a quantitative research design with a cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 120 mothers who have toddlers, using questionnaires and observation sheets. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between antenatal care history and parenting patterns with the incidence of stunting. Statistical tests with logistic regression showed that improvements in antenatal care and parenting patterns can reduce the risk of stunting in toddlers. This study provides important insights into the importance of early intervention and education for mothers to improve child health and prevent stunting in the community. Thus, recommendations to strengthen maternal and child health programs, as well as increase public awareness of good parenting patterns, are needed to support optimal growth and development of toddlers.
