Abstract

Stunting in young children is a significant global health issue, and it remains a serious concern in Indonesia with persistently high prevalence despite various interventions. This study highlights the importance of early detection and prevention of stunting through anthropometric measurements such as height and weight. Data from the 2022 Indonesian Nutritional Status Survey (SSGI) reveals that stunting rates in Central Java Province stand at 20.8%, with an increase in prevalence in Pekalongan District from 19.5% in 2021 to 23.5% in 2022. Stunting has serious consequences, including impaired brain development, reduced intelligence, and a higher risk of long-term health issues such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. This research focuses on training health cadres to improve early detection of stunting through the Community Partnership Program (PKM), aiming to enhance cadres' knowledge and skills in stunting detection and prevention. The results show an increase in knowledge among cadres by 11.63 points for stunting detection and prevention, and 21.67 points for nutrition-related topics. Additionally, 80% of cadres successfully performed anthropometric examinations. Collaboration between midwives and health cadres is expected to reduce stunting rates by improving monitoring and more effective interventions.

Abstract

The highest maternal mortality rate in Pekalongan Regency in 2022 was recorded at Puskesmas Tirto 1, with 6 cases (17.64%) of the total cases in the regency. Out of 897 pregnant women in this area, 418 were classified as high-risk (46.60%), with a significant prevalence of anemia, preeclampsia, and malnutrition. This activity aimed to empower 35 pregnant women in two villages through education and training on pregnancy risk factors. The methods used included socialization, educational material delivery, health examinations, and practical risk assessment using the Poedji Rochjati Scoring Card (KSPR). Pregnant women were provided with guidance on pregnancy danger signs and the importance of routine check-ups, which included measuring body weight, height, mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), blood pressure, and hemoglobin levels. The results indicate active participation from pregnant women who are highly interested in applying the knowledge they gained. An increase of 32.50 points in the mean knowledge score of pregnant women before and after the counseling sessions, measured through a questionnaire, serves as a parameter indicating the effectiveness of the counseling in enhancing their understanding of pregnancy risk factors. Through a demonstration of the KSPR (Pregnancy Risk Screening Card) use, participants were able to independently identify risks. This empowerment aims to raise awareness among pregnant women and the surrounding community about the importance of early detection and monitoring of high-risk pregnancies, which is expected to reduce maternal mortality rates in the region. The conclusion of this activity is that it successfully empowered pregnant women with the knowledge and skills needed to maintain their health during pregnancy, potentially reducing complications and maternal mortality in the region.

Abstract

Stunting has long-term impacts on a child's growth, development, and overall quality of life. Prevention efforts starting from the preconception phase, particularly among prospective brides and grooms (catin), represent a strategic approach to breaking the cycle of stunting. This community service program aimed to strengthen the capacity of health cadres in educating and conducting early detection of stunting risks among catin. The program was conducted over eight months (May–December 2025) using an empowerment approach through focus group discussions, socialization, training, and mentoring activities. A total of 15 participants were involved, consisting of 12 cadres from Kranji Village and 3 health personnel from the local health center. Results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of cadres across three main topics: Ideal Reproductive Health for Catin by 6.2 points, Stunting Concepts (Detection and Prevention) by 5.14 points, and Nutrition for Catin by 2.67 points. These findings indicate that empowerment-based interventions are effective in forming cadres capable of playing an active role in stunting prevention starting from the preconception phase.

Abstract

The success of breastfeeding is strongly influenced by the knowledge and skills of those who support mothers, including community health cadres. Aisyiyah and Nasyiatul Aisyiyah cadres play an important role in providing breastfeeding education at the community level; therefore, they require adequate knowledge and practical skills related to lactation management. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of Aisyiyah and Nasyiatul Aisyiyah cadres in delivering education on breastfeeding and the benefits of breast milk. The training consisted of lectures, group discussions, demonstrations, and hands-on practice facilitated by experts in midwifery and maternal nursing. Knowledge improvement was assessed using pre-test and post-test evaluations, while skill acquisition was observed during practice sessions. A total of 32 cadres participated in the activity. There was an increase in knowledge after the training, with the mean pre-test score rising from 80.94 to 84.53 in the post-test, showing an increase of 3.59 points, Cadres also demonstrated improved skills in breastfeeding positioning, attachment techniques, and identification of lactation problems such as flat nipples and breast engorgement. The refresher training effectively improved the cadres’ competence in providing breastfeeding education. It is recommended that similar programs be conducted regularly to strengthen the role of cadres in supporting breastfeeding mothers in the community.
