Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health concern in Indonesia, with the government targeting a reduction to 14% by 2024. In Blora Regency, the prevalence reached 21.5%, ranking 12th in Central Java. Adolescents, as future parents, play a critical role in the intergenerational transmission of nutritional knowledge. Sempoating media as an educational tool designed to simulate early stunting detection and prevention in toddlers aged 12–24 months was developed to enhance adolescents' knowledge and engagement in stunting prevention. This study aims to analyze the effect of Sempoating media on adolescents' knowledge and active participation in stunting prevention efforts. This quasi-experimental study used a pretest-posttest control group design conducted between June and August 2023 in Purworejo and Tutup Villages, Blora Regency, Indonesia. Sixty adolescents were recruited using total sampling and assigned to either a treatment group (received Sempoating media and module) or a control group (received only a module). Knowledge and activity scores were measured using a validated questionnaire (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.86) before and after a 3-month intervention. Data were analyzed using paired t-test and Mann–Whitney U test with SPSS version 25. There was a significant increase in knowledge and stunting prevention activities in both groups (p < 0.05). However, the treatment group showed significantly higher improvements compared to the control group, with post-intervention differences in knowledge (p = 0.026) and activities (p = 0.000). Sempoating media significantly improved adolescents' knowledge and engagement in stunting prevention. This interactive educational tool shows promise for integration into school-based and community adolescent health programs. The findings support the use of gamified media such as Sempoating as an effective strategy to empower adolescents as agents of change in reducing stunting prevalence in their communities.

Abstract

Stunting is a major problem in Indonesia. Based on the results of the Indonesian Nutritional Status Study, the prevalence of stunting decreased from 24.4% in 2021 to 21.6% in 2022. The government's policy target for 2024 is 14%. The role of cadres helps raise family awareness to prevent stunting. Good cadre knowledge and skills can facilitate the dissemination of information and the practice of early detection of stunting screening. Card-Ting educational media is a stunting card containing signs of stunting (height and weight curves, bone and tooth growth, motor development). The study aims to analyze the effect of Card-Ting media on cadre knowledge and skills. The research design used a quasi-experimental with a pre-post test. The population was all village cadres in the stunting locus of Blora Regency. The sample of cadres was 60 cadres using a consecutive sampling technique. The treatment group was given stunting education using the Card-Ting module and media. Meanwhile, the control group used the module. Education was provided for 2 hours over 2 days. The first day was an explanation of stunting and the second day was practice using the Card-Ting media. The knowledge instrument used a questionnaire and the skills of Card-Ting Media practice cadres used a checklist observed for 3 months. The results of the pre-posttest analysis of knowledge and skills with a dependent t-test showed a difference before and after the value of p=0.000 (p<0.05). Statistical tests of the control and treatment groups using the Mann Whitney test showed a difference between the knowledge groups p=0.033 (p<0.05) and skills p=0.003 (p<0.05) meaning there is an effect of Card-Ting media on the knowledge and skills of cadres. Card-Ting media can help cadres carry out early detection of stunting so that appropriate preventive measures can be taken for children at risk of stunting.
