Abstract

The issue of stunting is a global problem that has become the focus of the government's efforts to address it. Based on observations of the nutritional status of toddlers at Posyandu Harapan Ibu, 6 out of 149 toddlers, ten are experiencing stunting, accounting for approximately 6.71% of the total number of toddlers. An initial survey conducted by the community engagement team among ten mothers with toddlers in the Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6 area revealed that most (80%) of these mothers lack knowledge regarding stunting, its prevention, management, and associated risks. The Mata Air area in Padang City, which is part of Posyandu Harapan Ibu 6, has a relatively high prevalence of stunting. However, the potential of family backyard spaces in this area has yet to be optimally utilized. This community engagement initiative aims to enhance the use of family backyard spaces as a source of nutrition for families to prevent stunting. The method employed involves educating local volunteers about the benefits of family backyard spaces as an alternative source of family food, followed by the distribution of plant seeds and planting media. The results of the outreach activities indicate that (1) participants respond to the outreach activities with enthusiasm and vigor, (2) Participants actively engage and proactively participate in the outreach process, and (3) Participants have initiated the implementation of recommendations by utilizing family backyard spaces as a source of food and nutrition for their families by planting the provided plant seeds. This community engagement effort represents a positive endeavor to prevent stunting in the Mata Air area.

Abstract

Stunting represents a critical public health issue that significantly impairs children's growth and development, particularly during the golden window of the first 1,000 days of life. One of the major contributing factors to the high prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is the limited maternal knowledge and inadequate early detection of child development. This community engagement initiative aimed to enhance maternal awareness regarding stunting prevention and to conduct early developmental screening using the Pre-Screening Developmental Questionnaire (Kuesioner Pra-Skrining Perkembangan/KPSP) at community health posts (Posyandu) in RW 8, 9, and 10 of Korong Gadang Sub-district, Padang City. The methods employed included health education through interactive discussions supported by leaflets, assessment of maternal knowledge via pre-test and post-test questionnaires, and developmental observation of children using the KPSP tool. The target participants were mothers of children under five years of age. The results indicated a significant increase in maternal knowledge, with the average score rising from 79.7 in the pre-test to 86.5 in the post-test. Additionally, early developmental screening revealed that the majority of children were within the age-appropriate development category. The findings suggest that nutrition and health education can effectively enhance maternal knowledge and support stunting prevention at the community level. Furthermore, the educational intervention demonstrated a positive impact on stunting prevention and the optimisation of child growth and development.
