Abstract

Nutritional challenges during early childhood remain a pressing global concern that significantly influence a country’s Human Development Index. This study aimed to assess the prevalence and risk of undernutrition-related health problems among toddlers in Balikpapan City, East Kalimantan Province. Using a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach, data were collected from four integrated community health post (Posyandu) located across three sub-districts. The study population comprised toddlers attending Posyandu in West Balikpapan, Central Balikpapan, and South Balikpapan. A purposive sampling technique was applied based on predefined criteria, yielding a sample size of 78 toddlers. Findings revealed that from 78 toddlers, 11,5% toddlers were at risk of malnutrition, 20,5% toddlers were at risk of undernutrition, and 2,6% toddlers were at risk of stunting. These findings highlight the urgent need for targeted preventive interventions to address undernutrition risks in early childhood and offer valuable evidence to support regional health policy development. Prenatal interventions, including maternal supplementation and antenatal care are crucial. Exclusive breastfeeding remains essential but should be supported by broader strategies addressing complementary feeding and maternal conditions. Longitudinal studies are recommended to establish causal pathways.

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a significant public health issue among adolescent girls in Samarinda, with a reported prevalence of 20.3%. The condition, often linked to iron deficiency, poses risks to physical development, cognitive performance, and overall well-being. Contributing factors include unbalanced dietary habits, menstruation, parasitic infections, and low awareness of nutritional needs. This activity aims to enhance the capacity of adolescents to prevent anemia through participatory and sustainable nutrition campaigns and healthy lifestyle practices. Methods: This community service initiative was conducted at SMA Negeri 1 and SMA Negeri 10 Samarinda from November 15-21, 2024, involving 40 female students. A participatory and educational approach was employed, including group discussions, health counseling, and the use of visual educational media such as booklets and PowerPoint presentations. Pre- and post-tests were administered to evaluate changes in knowledge. Results: The participants, predominantly aged 16 years, showed low baseline awareness about anemia. The intervention led to a 22% increase in knowledge regarding the causes, symptoms, and prevention of anemia. Interactive discussions and visual media effectively engaged students, promoting better understanding and proactive attitudes toward healthy lifestyles and iron intake. Conclusion: A participatory and visual-based approach is effective in promoting health knowledge and behavior change among adolescents, with potential long-term benefits for school and community health. Recommended activities include interactive nutrition education sessions, visual media campaigns, peer-led discussions, and community-based monitoring to sustain behavior change.
