Abstract

Globally in 2016, 22.9% or 154.8 million children under 5 years of age suffered from child stunting. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 19.3% and in east java it reaches almost 30%. Negative effect of stunting cannot be repair or irreversibel, especially brain damage and the management of stunting is complex, so preventing and reducing child become stunting is more important. Analysis of growth patterns and the detection of aberrant growth patterns provide critical information for the detection of pathologic conditions. Weight-for-age is the most commonly used index of nutritional status. Weight loss, or failure to gain normally, is often the first sign of pathology. If routine weight measurements could be used to detect the risk of linear growth faltering, the role of posyandu in stunting prevention could be enhanced. Purpose of this study is to find a relationship of weight increment in 2, 3, 4, and 6 month and stunting in children aged 0-24 months. There was a significant correlation weight increment for 6 months with stunting (r= -0.432, p=0.004) Keywords: weight increment; stunting; growth interpretation

Abstract

Stunting is still a problem around the world, particularly Indonesia where the prevalence of stunting in 2020 was 26.92%. The short-term impact of stunting included an increased risk of morbidity and mortality due to infectious diseases, while, long-term impacts of stunting can cause obesity, impaired cognitive function, and work productivity. One of the efforts to prevent stunting is the use of the Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Handbook by pregnant women and children aged under 5 years which has not been implemented properly. This community service activity aims to provide training in filling out the MCH handbook and educate the public on the importance of monitoring stunting in babies and children. Methods for implementing this activity include lecture in presentation form, discussion, and training approaches. A pre-test and post-test were carried out before and after this activity. A total of 80 participants took part in this activity, including the Head of Kertosono District, the Head of Banaran Village, the Head of the Kertosono Community Health Center and his staff, health cadres, and mothers who have stunted children, consisting of 37 Banaran's health cadres and mothers with stunted toddlers (72% of total stunted children in Banaran). It was found that there was an increase in participants' ability to fill out the MCH Handbook; before the activity, the mean pre-test score was 77.03 ± 16.64 and the post-test score was 88.65 ± 12.508. Training in understanding how to fill out the MCH Handbook to prevent stunting is very effective.
