Abstract

Maluku Utara, an Indonesian province with captivating natural landscapes, cultural richness, and abundant resources, faces a pressing issue of stunting among children. Stunting, a chronic condition affecting growth and development, poses a significant public health challenge. This study examines stunting trends in Maluku Utara from 2019 to 2023, emphasizing its consequences on physical and cognitive development. Despite national targets to reduce stunting, Maluku Utara encounters unique challenges. This research aims to uncover the specific context by analyzing trends, identifying high-prevalence regions, and exploring contributing factors. The study's significance lies in informing targeted interventions and policies tailored to Maluku Utara's conditions, aiding progress toward national reduction goals. Utilizing quantitative methods, the research relies on secondary data from the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, applying descriptive statistical analysis. The four-year data reveals fluctuations in stunting prevalence, with a resurgence in 2023, particularly in Halmahera Utara District. District-level analysis exposes disparities, emphasizing the need for continuous and focused efforts, especially in high-prevalence areas. This research addresses knowledge gaps, providing insights into stunting dynamics, and facilitating culturally sensitive interventions. By understanding trends and underlying factors, stakeholders can formulate effective strategies to combat stunting in Maluku Utara, contributing to broader national efforts for a healthier and more prosperous future for the region's children.

Abstract

Stunting, as a complex issue, demands a serious and comprehensive approach. Accelerating efforts to reduce stunting is imperative and requires collaboration from all stakeholders, including the Tidore government, private sector, community, and families. Furthermore, addressing this issue necessitates extensive longitudinal research to investigate its prevalence and influencing factors. To tackle this, a crucial study is essential to unveil the prevalence trends of stunting from 2022 to 2023, covering the last two years in the Tidore Kepulauan. The primary goal of this research is to provide a comprehensive overview of stunting trends in Tidore through long-term analysis, exploring prevalence fluctuations. Employing a descriptive statistical approach, this study relies on numerical data as its primary foundation, focusing on in-depth descriptive analysis of stunting prevalence trends in the Tidore Kepulauan over the last two years. Data from the Directorate General of Regional Development's website reveals significant variations among villages in 2022. Villages like Gurabati (1.2%), Toloa (2.1%), and Maregam (3.8%) exhibit low rates, whereas Topo (45.5%), Topo Tiga (23.1%), and Maitara Tengah (20.6%) have high rates. Specific efforts are needed in high-prevalence villages to improve child nutrition and overall community well-being. The 2023 prevalence data shows significant variations among villages, with some areas displaying alarmingly high rates. Descriptive statistical analysis links stunting in the Tidore Kepulauan to several key factors. Malnutrition (32.4%), inadequate nutritional intake, and prenatal malnutrition (28.2%) are major contributors. Genetic factors (16.2%), poor hygiene (4.8%), and viral/bacterial infections (4.1%) also play roles. Lower economic levels and other factors contribute in smaller proportions (2.8% and 3.0% respectively). Although 8.5% of respondents are unaware of the causes, this analysis provides a comprehensive overview of factors that need attention to combat stunting in the Tidore Kepulauan.
