Abstract

The problem of malnutrition is still the main problem faced in human resource development. The problem of growth and development of Baduta is a serious problem because at this age the process of physical and intellectual growth and development is critical. Malnutrition problems mostly occur in poor families but are not caused by poor families who have well-nourished children. The Belawan Community Health Center working area is one of the community health centers with the highest number of cases of malnutrition in Medan City. To overcome this, a program is needed that is believed to be effective and sustainable. One of the existing programs to overcome the problem of malnutrition and malnutrition is positive deviation. This research aims to identify positive behavior in feeding (type of food, processing of food ingredients, mealtimes and method of feeding) of toddlers who are well-nourished in poor fishing families in the Belawan Community Health Center Working Area in 2022. This research method is qualitative research with a narrative approach. Researchers studied individual lives by asking one or several individuals to tell stories about their lives related to positive behavior in feeding well-nourished animals. This information is then retold by the researcher in a narrative chronology. The findings of this research indicate that addressing nutritional challenges in children can be effectively achieved by leveraging the potential and resources within the community. This is done through the identification of positive deviant behaviors, particularly those related to beneficial feeding practices. These practices encompass aspects such as the types of food provided, the methods of food preparation, the timing of meals, and the approach to food administration. Keep up the great work! The way you’re thinking about integrating community strengths is spot-on for creating sustainable solutions.

Abstract

Positive deviance in low-income families is a mechanism by which individuals or groups continue to thrive or meet standards despite facing challenging conditions. One of the goals of positive deviance is to prevent child malnutrition by changing community habits about feeding, caring, hygiene, and health seeking practices. Malnutrition early in life will affect the growth and development of children and the quality of life thereafter. The study aims to compare the positive deviances between children with normal nutrition and undernutrition. This cross-sectional study was conducted in 39 public health centres in Medan, West Indonesia, where a total of 80 children (40 with normal nutrition and 40 with undernutrition) were recruited using purposive sampling. Nutritional status (normal or undernutrition) was determined using body mass index-for-age (BMI-for-age) z-scores, according to WHO reference values. Positive deviance behaviours were assessed using a validated questionnaire, and anthropometric parameters such as weight, height, BMI, and triceps skinfold were measured. Haemoglobin levels were taken as a biological measurement of the condition. The Mann-Whitney test demonstrated that the positive deviance practices of feeding, caring, hygiene, and health-seeking behaviours were significantly better among normal nourished children than undernourished children (p<0.05). Children from families with positive deviance practices have better nutritional status despite living in economically limited conditions. This indicates that family behaviours and practices can play a crucial role in enhancing children's nutritional and health status, regardless of financial or environmental constraints. Integrating positive deviance approaches alongside additional interventions could be effective in improving children's nutritional status.
