Abstract

Cadres are public health volunteers chosen from a local community. Cadres should undergo constant educational training and empowerment since they play an active role in monitoring health issues in their community, in this case stunting. The planning, implementation, and evaluation processes of cadre empowerment are not always successful and effective. This scoping review aims to identify the factors that influence the success of cadre empowerment in Indonesia, so that a model of empowerment and education can be formulated by focusing on the factors that can give the most optimal results. This scoping review is based on the guidelines of PRISMA-ScR. The article search involves two databases, PUBMED and Google Scholar. The keywords used include: Stunting [MeSH] AND “Health Cadres OR Health volunteers” AND Factors associated OR determinant. “Stunting AND Kader AND pemberdayaan AND Factor”. The review resulted in the selection of eight articles, with one focusing on a particular region of Sumatera (Aceh), while the rest are on Java (West Java, Yogyakarta, and East Java). The review finds certain shared factors that influence the success of cadre empowerment, including KAP (knowledge, attitude, and practice), self-efficacy, sectoral and community support, and resources.

Abstract

Stunting in children under five years of age remains a serious public health problem in Indonesia because it affects physical growth, cognitive development, and long-term productivity. This study aims to analyse mothers' knowledge and skills in preventing stunting and the relationship between sociodemographic characteristics and these two aspects in the working area of the Malingping Community Health Centre, Banten. The study used a descriptive-analytical survey design with a cross-sectional approach involving 80 mothers of toddlers selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analysed univariately and bivariately using the Chi-square test. The results showed that most mothers did not know the definition of stunting (81.3%), its causes (86.3%), signs (83.8%), or how to prevent it (88.8%). Mothers' skills in prevention were also low, with 78.8% unable to prepare a balanced complementary feeding menu, 73.7% lacking hygiene when preparing food, and 81.2% rarely monitoring their children's growth. Bivariate analysis showed no significant relationship between education and knowledge (p = 0.721), but there was a significant relationship between education and skills (p = 0.039). This study concludes that although mothers' knowledge about stunting is still low, practical skills are more influenced by education level. These findings emphasise the importance of educational interventions that not only increase knowledge but also build mothers' practical skills through community-based approaches and support from health cadres.
