Abstract

Background: Stunting, a condition where children fail to grow adequately for their age, is a significant public health issue in Indonesia. Health cadres play a vital role role as sources of information and knowledge for mothers of toddlers to prevent stunting. Objectives: To analyze differences in knowledge between Integrated Health Service Post (Posyandu) cadres and mothers of toddlers regarding stunting, and to examine the relationship between maternal knowledge of stunting and stunting incidence in children. Methods: This study was conducted in Medan Maimun Subdistrict, Medan City, from June to July 2024, using a cross-sectional design. A total of 68 cadres and 79 mothers of toddlers participated as respondents. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using univariate analysis, independent sample t-test to compare knowledge levels between groups, And Spearman’s test to assess the relationship between maternal knowledge of stunting and stunting incidence. Results: Significant differences in stunting knowledge were found between health cadres and mothers of toddlers (p-value=0.003). Additionally, a significant relationship was observed between maternal knowledge of stunting and stunting incidence in children (p-value=0.034). Stunting incidence rates among children were 22.8% and 21.5%, respectively. Conclusions: Enhancing education and training for mothers of toddlers is essential to prevent stunting. The study also recommends strengthening the role of health cadres in delivering stunting-related education within the community.

Abstract

Background: University students are the age group of late adolescents who are still undergoing growth and development. Growth and development must be supported by balanced nutritional intake and healthy eating habits. Currently, an emerging trend is that numerous campus activities and academic demands often lead students to develop nighttime eating habits, typically involving high-fat foods, outside of regular mealtimes. Objectives: To determine the relationship between nighttime eating, fat intake, and the incidence of overweight among college students. Methods: The research design was cross-sectional, with purposive sampling technique. A total of 106 students, aged 19-23 years, participated in this study. The instruments used included the Night Eating Diagnostic Questionnaire (NEDQ) to assess night eating habits, a 24-hour food recall questionnaire to estimate fat intake, weight scales and microtoice to calculate Body Mass Index and determine nutritional status. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square and logistic regression. Results: There was a relationship between night time eating and the incidence of overnutrition (p-value = 0.040). There was also a significant relationship between fat intake and the incidence of overweight (p-value = 0.005) among college students. The results further indicate that adolescents with nighttime eating are 3.785 times more likely to being overweight. Additionally, adolescents with high fat intake are 3,814 times more likely to be overnourished. Conclusions: Eating habits and nutritional intake are crucial to create healthy and productive adolescents.

Adequate nutritional knowledge, attitudes, and behavior among adolescents are crucial to prevent health issues that can continue into adulthood. Objectives: To assess the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors related to balanced nutrition and nutritional status among adolescents at the Yayasan Bandung Senior High School, Deli Serdang Regency. Methods: The research design used was a cross-sectional design with a total of 80 adolescents aged 14 to 18 years at the Yayasan Bandung Senior High School, Deli Serdang Regency. The subject taking technique was stratified random sampling. Knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of balanced nutrition were obtained through questionnaires. Height and weight data were analyzed using WHO Anthro Plus to determine the Z-score of Body Mass Index according to age. Data analysis used the Spearman test to determine the relationship between variables. Results: Most adolescents had good nutritional status, namely 68.8%, while the percentage of overnutrition and obesity was 18.8% and undernutrition was 12.5%. Adolescents have a high level of knowledge of balanced nutrition of 20 adolescents (25%). Balanced nutrition attitudes were categorized as high, namely 43 adolescents (53.8%), while high category balanced nutritional behaviors were only 6 adolescents (7.5%). The results of the bivariate test (Spearman Correlation) showed a relationship between attitudes and behavior-balanced nutrition (p<0.05). Conclusions: There is a relationship between attitudes and behavior of balanced nutrition in adolescence the Bandung Higher Education Foundation High School, Deli Serdang Regency.

Abstract

Background: Stunting constitutes a protracted alimentary dysregulation precipitating irrevocable diminutions in corporeal architecture, cognitive faculty, and prospective productivity. Numerous stratagems subsist to forestall stunting, among which the participatory stewardship of Posyandu cadres and mothers of toddlers is particularly consequential, especially through the augmentation of epistemic comprehension and dispositional orientation via pedagogic instruments, namely E-Booklets. Objectives: This study evaluates the effectiveness of an E-Booklet in optimizing the knowledge and attitudes of cadres and mothers of toddlers within the Kampung Baru Health Center working area. Methods: A quasi-experimental investigation employing a pre-test and post-test schema was undertaken in Medan from May to July 2025. By means of purposive sampling, 60 participants (30 cadres and 30 mothers) were enlisted. Empirical datasets were elicited through standardized questionnaires. The interventional procedure comprised the circulation of an educational E-Booklet via WhatsApp, subsequently accompanied by virtual deliberative sessions spanning a biweekly interval. The compiled data were examined utilizing paired t-tests at a significance criterion of 0.05. Results: The results showed that the use of E-Booklets significantly increased the knowledge of cadres and mothers of toddlers regarding stunting, but did not significantly affect attitudes. The knowledge score also showed a prominent spike (n=30); the results rose from 83.58±9.70 to 89.91±9.77, summarizing the mean slightly at 6.33±6.97 (p-value<0.001). In mothers of toddlers (n=30), there was no such increase in the metric, which went from 74.58 to 79.41, an average rise of 4.8±7.30 (p-value=0.001). Conclusions: The utilization of E-Booklets substantially augments knowledge pertaining to stunting, yet does not exert a statistically significant influence upon the attitudes of cadres or mothers.

Abstract

Background: University students, as late adolescents transitioning into young adulthood, require adequate nutritional intake to achieve optimal nutritional status. Nutritional knowledge and attitudes play an essential role in shaping healthy eating behaviors; however, previous studies indicate that the majority of students (>70%) still have a limited understanding of daily nutritional requirements. The use of digital-based educational media, such as e-booklets, is considered a promising strategy due to its accessibility, flexibility, and interactive features. Objectives: To analyze the effect of e-booklet based nutrition education on students’ knowledge and attitudes regarding nutritional requirements. Methods: A quasi experimental study with a one-group pre test and post test design was conducted among 60 active undergraduate students from the Fashion Design Study Program at Universitas Negeri Medan, selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using pre test and post test questionnaires and analyzed using the paired sample t test and the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed an increase in mean knowledge scores by 20.58 points and attitude scores by 7.91 points after the intervention, with a statistically significant effect (p-value = 0.000). These findings indicate that e-booklet based nutrition education significantly improved students’ knowledge and attitudes toward nutritional requirements. Conclusions: E-booklet educational media is effective in enhancing students’ knowledge and attitudes toward nutrition. This approach can be recommended as an innovative alternative in nutrition education and as a practical health promotion strategy for adolescents and young adults. E-booklets can be integrated into school curricula as a more engaging and interactive method of nutrition instruction.
