Abstract

Stunting remains a significant concern among the Indonesian population, and numerous studies have been conducted to decrease its prevalence. This study aims to analyze the risk factors for stunting in children aged 12 to 59 months. Utilizing a cross-sectional design, the research was conducted in the Sutojayan Health Center Work Area in Blitar. The research population consisted of 396 children aged 12 to 59 months, with a sample size of 60 children. The results indicated that maternal education (P-value = 0.010; OR = 4.4), maternal employment (P-value = 0.025; OR = 5.4), exclusive breastfeeding (P-value = 0.016; OR = 5.8), and environmental sanitation conditions (P-value = 0.027; OR = 3.6) are significantly related to the incidence of stunting. In contrast, children's immunization status did not show a significant relationship (P-value > 0.05). Stunting is influenced by various factors from pregnancy through preschool years, so prevention efforts must begin as early as possible. This includes improving maternal health, promoting breastfeeding, providing nutritious food, preventing infectious diseases, and ensuring a clean environment. The findings of this study encourage healthcare professionals to develop innovative strategies aimed at reducing stunting, particularly in Indonesia.

Abstract

Waste is a classic problem for developing countries like Indonesia. Coastal areas are one of the areas that most vulnerable to environmental problems, especially those related to plastic waste. This community service activity aims to increase community knowledge about the importance of waste management and encourage them to turn waste into handicraft products that have economic value. This community service activity is in partnership with the community in the Keputih coastal area and local community leaders in RT VII RW VIII Keputih. The method used is to provide counseling, training and assistance to the community. Evaluation of activities is carried out by assessing: 1) knowledge about waste (inorganic and organic that is difficult to decompose) through pre-test and post-test regarding educational materials, 2) assessment of the ability to practice waste management (crafting) and 3) Impact of activities is carried out by reviewing Has waste management been implemented from households to TPS? The education and assistance on waste management, including sorting and making handicrafts from waste, has been successful with 3 indicators achieved, namely the presence of the community in counseling (80%), 65% of the target community has increased their knowledge, and 75% of the target community has sorted waste and made crafts from plastic waste. It is hoped that community service activities can be sustainable, such as providing education to target communities regarding how to sell handicrafts made from waste, and collaborating with other parties that can improve the branding of handicraft products.
