Abstract

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by inadequate nutritional intake over a prolonged period due to improper feeding practices that do not meet nutritional needs. The percentage of stunted children at the Tarus Health Center has increased every year from 2019 to 2022. This study aims to determine the socioeconomic factors associated with stunting among children under five in the working area of Tarus Health Center, Kupang Regency. This type of research is an analytical survey with a case-control study design. The sample consisted of 36 cases and 36 controls, selected using probability sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through observation and structured interviews using questionnaires. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. The results showed that the factors associated with stunting were family income (p-value = 0.023) and history of infectious diseases (p-value = 0.001), while factors not associated were maternal education (p-value = 0.617) and maternal occupation (p-value = 0.629). Based on these findings, it is expected that health workers provide education on proper dietary practices by utilizing local resources, and the government should also create adequate job opportunities so that human resources can improve, thereby reducing stunting rates in families.

Abstract

Stunting is generally experienced by vulnerable or at-risk families, such as in families with low or poor economy. However, toddlers who have good nutritional status can also be foexample of a positive deviation that has been successfully implemented by underprivileged families. This study aims to reveal the factors why poor families can have toddlers with good nutritional status. This type of research is qualitative with a case study design, with samples taken from poor families who have toddlers without stunting in Namosain sub-district. The selection of samples in this study used a purposive sampling technique based on case criteria. The tools used in this study included questionnaires as well as recording and documentation tools. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively based on information obtained from in-depth interviews with informants. The results of the study showed that the pattern of feeding, personal hygiene, and health services among poor families was good. Families were able to provide and regulate a variety of nutritious foods for toddlers by choosing nutritious foods that were easily accessible to mothers of toddlers. Families also always pay attention to personal hygiene and health services for toddlers, thus supporting their nutritional status. Cadres and health workers play a role in monitoring the nutritional status of toddlers, providing counseling on nutrition, and dealing with nutritional problems. Positive deviance behavior needs to be socialized to the community through family empowerment and various experiences between families that show positive deviance, with support from the local health service and community health centers to improve health levels.
