Abstract

Stunting is a health issue, particularly in poor nations such as Indonesia. One factor that contributes to stunting is mothers' nutritional status during pregnancy. Integrated Health Posts (Posyandu) monitor pregnant women's nutritional status by assessing mid-upper arm circumference (LILA), hemoglobin (Hb) levels, and maternal compliance with iron supplementation (TTD). The purpose of this study is to examine the association between Posyandu's role in monitoring pregnant women's nutritional status and the prevalence of stunting at the Puyung Community Health Center in Central Lombok Regency. This is an analytical correlation study conducted in a cross-sectional design. The sampling method was stratified random sampling. Data was collected using the KIA Handbook and questionnaires. The chi-square test was utilized while analyzing bivariate data. Of the 90 responders, 8 (8.9%) had low nutritional status during pregnancy, and 49 (54.4%) had stunted toddlers at the Puyung Community Health Center in Central Lombok. The bivariate test using the chi-square method yielded a p-value of 0.791 (p > 0.05), indicating that there is no significant relationship between maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and the incidence of stunting in the working area of Puyung Health Center, Central Lombok Regency. The study concludes that there is no significant association between the involvement of integrated health posts (Posyandu) in monitoring maternal nutritional status during pregnancy and the prevalence of stunting in Puyung Health Center's operational area, Central Lombok Regency.

Abstract

A condition known as stunting happens when linear development falls short of its full potential, especially if it happens within the first 1000 days of life. Stunting prevalence in Indonesia was 21.5% in 2023, with a rate of 17.5% in Lombok Tengah District, West Nusa Tenggara Province. This study explores the relationship between WASH-related risk factors and stunting among children 6-24 months in Puyung Health Center area, Lombok Tengah District. This study is an observasional analytical research with a cross-sectional design. The research subjects included of 90 mothers or caregivers of children aged 6-24 month in Puyung Health Center are, Lombok Tengah Disctrict. Sampling was conducted through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using the KIA and a modified SSGI questionnaire 2022. The chi-square test was used for a bivariate data analysis. According to the statistical analysis of 90 respondents, 46 respondents (51.1%) were categorized as having no WASH-related hazards, while 49 infants (54.5%) suffered from stunting. A p-value of 0.821 (p>0.05) was achieved following a bivariate analysis using the chi-square test. These findings suggest that the prevalence of stunting in babies aged 6 to 24 months and in the Puyung Health Center region of the Central Lombok District do not significantly correlate with WASH risk factors. In the Puyung Health Center region of the Central Lombok District, there is no discernible link between stunting and WASH risk factors in children aged 6 to 24 months.
