Abstract

Background: Malnutrition in children under five is a major public health concern in Indonesia. The government’s Supplementary Feeding Program or Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) aims to improve nutritional status, but its effectiveness needs further evaluation, especially in areas with persistent undernutrition. Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the local PMT intervention in improving the nutritional status of undernourished children under five years old. Methods: An experimental one-group pre- and post-test design with a cross-sectional approach was used. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test facilitated statistical analysis. The study involved a total sample of 50 respondents who received locally sourced supplementary food over 60 days. Results: The study included 50 respondents, with a majority being male (26 toddlers, 52%) and female (24 toddlers, 48%). The findings revealed a statistically significant improvement (p <0.001) in the children's nutritional status, demonstrating the positive impact of the PMT intervention. Conclusion: Although the PMT program effectively enhanced nutritional status, its success is influenced by factors like adherence to dietary guidelines, parental involvement, and education. Integrating nutrition education and regular health monitoring is crucial to sustain long-term nutritional improvements in children.

Abstract

Background: Malnutrition remains a significant health challenge in Indonesia, especially among vulnerable groups like young children and pregnant women. Improving the skills and knowledge of posyandu cadres in preparing local food-based supplementary feeding (Pemberian Makanan Tambahan/PMT) can help address this issue effectively. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test approach. A group of posyandu cadres was assessed before and after receiving training on making PMT from local food sources. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used to analyze the significance of knowledge changes. Results: A total of 40 primarily female cadres participated, with age distribution showing 40% aged 36–45 years, 20% aged 26–35 years, 37% aged 46–55 years, and 3% aged 55–66 years. The training on local food-based PMT resulted in a significant increase in knowledge (p <0.001). Conclusion: Training on preparing and processing local food-based PMT effectively increased the knowledge of posyandu cadres. This improvement is essential for better management of malnutrition among toddlers and pregnant women in the Banjar 1 Public Health area.
