Abstract

Stunting is one of the health problems that is still highly prevalent in Indonesia, especially in toddlers. This condition has a long-term impact on children's physical growth, cognitive development, and productivity in the future. One of the main factors causing stunting is the ignorance of parents or caregivers about the importance of balanced nutrition in the child's growth period. This community service activity aims to increase public knowledge and awareness, especially among mothers with toddlers, about the importance of providing balanced nutrition to prevent stunting. The method used in this activity is education through counseling, interactive discussions, and distribution of educational media through leaflets and posters. The activity was conducted at the Posyandu and involved health cadres and nutritionists. The evaluation results showed an increase in participants' knowledge by 75% based on the pre-test and post-test. This activity shows that direct and contextual balanced nutrition education can effectively prevent stunting in toddlers

Abstract: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases worldwide. Toddlers, as one of the most vulnerable groups to ARI, have a higher risk compared to other age groups. Based on a preliminary survey, Puskesmas Sentosa Baru, located in Medan Perjuangan Sub-district, Medan City, is one of the Puskesmas that often handles cases of Acute Respiratory Infection (ARI), which always ranks first in the list of the ten biggest diseases found at the Puskesmas. The purpose of the study was to determine the correlation of smoking behavior and environmental aspects to the occurrence of ARI in children under five years old. The research design used in this study was cross sectional. The research was conducted at Sentosa Baru Health Center. The research was conducted in June 2024.
