Abstract

Background: Stunting is one of the nutritional problems affecting Indonesian toddlers. Inadequate nutritional intake and nutritionally conscious family behavior are one of the trigger factors. The prevalence of stunting in Jember Regency according to SSGI in 2022 is still at 34.9%, which is the highest figure in East Java. From the results of a preliminary study conducted by researchers, it was found that 356 children (17.8%) were stunted in the weighing month of February 2023 and 381 children (18.46%) were stunting in the weighing month of August 2023. KADARZI behavior plays an important role in the growth process in toddler. Method: The method in this research is quantitative correlational with an observational approach and a cross-sectional research design. The total sample was 95 respondents using cluster sampling techniques with the Slovin formula. The measurement instrument for this research uses a questionnaire, then assesses stunting in toddlers using microtoise measurements and converts it into a standardized value (Zscore) using the WHO- 2005 anthropometric standards for toddlers. Statistical analysis uses Chi Square with significance <0.05. Results: The results of this study show that the majority of respondents do not behave as stunted, 67 (70.5%) respondents, and the majority of respondents experience stunting, 65 (68.4%) respondents. The results of the Contingency Coofficient statistical test show that the Approximate Significance value= 0.000 so there is a significant relationship between KADARZI behavior and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 6-59 months. Discussion: It is hoped that mothers who have toddlers can apply the 5 indicators of KADARZI Keywords: KADARZI behavior, Stunting, Toddlers

Abstract

The national prevalence of stunting among children in Indonesia has yet to meet the WHO’s minimum target of below 20%. Furthermore, in Jember Regency, 34.9% of children were affected by stunting in 2023. Stunting not only leads to a shorter height compared to peers of the same age but also has both short-term and long-term effects that can deteriorate a child's health and even increase the risk of mortality. A mother's engagement in stunting prevention is affected by perceptions and beliefs, including perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. The aim of this research was to identify factors related to maternal behavior regarding prevention of stunting using the Health Belief Model approach. This study is an analytical observational research using a cross-sectional approach. It was conducted in Karengrejo Village, Jember Regency, involving 88 mothers of children under five. Participants were recruited through purposive sampling. The independent variables include: perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, cues to action, and self-efficacy. The dependent variable is stunting prevention behavior. Data collection was conducted using the Health Belief Model questionnaire and the Stunting Prevention Behavior questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the Spearman Rho statistical test with a significance level of 0.05. Statistical test results show that perceived susceptibility (p=0.011; r=0.273), perceived severity (p=0.018; r=0.254), and self-efficacy (p=0.004; r=0.310) have a significant relationship with maternal stunting prevention behavior. Strategies should be implemented to strengthen mothers' perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, and self-efficacy, encouraging greater involvement in stunting prevention through various programs, such as counseling, education, and home visits to increase mothers’ knowledge and skills related to appropriate feeding practices.
