Abstract

Abstract: Stunting is a significant public health problem in Jember Regency and has a long-term impact on the quality of human resources. Efforts to accelerate stunting reduction require active community involvement through strengthening the capacity of local organization-based health cadres. This study aims to analyze the application of an applied learning model for early stunting detection to improve the competence of 'Aisyiyah cadres in the community. The study used a quasi-experimental design with a one-group pretest–posttest design approach. The subjects were Aisyiyah cadres who participated in early stunting detection training. The intervention was an applied learning model that emphasized direct practice, anthropometric measurement simulations, the use of detection tools, and field mentoring. Cadre competency measurements included aspects of knowledge, attitudes, and skills before and after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using statistical tests to determine differences in pretest and posttest scores. The results showed a significant increase in cadre competency after being given the applied learning model. There was a very significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores in 20 participants (Z = -3.195, p < 0.001, r = 0.89). Improvements were seen in understanding the concept of stunting, the accuracy of anthropometric measurements, and the ability of cadres to educate mothers of toddlers. The applied learning model has proven effective in increasing cadre readiness for early detection of stunting in the community. This learning model can be used as a community-based training strategy to support programs to accelerate stunting reduction.Keywords: Early Detection; Stunting; Cadre Competency; Applied Learning Model.

Abstract

Introduction: Hypertension is a major global public health problem affecting more than 1.2 billion people worldwide and contributing substantially to cardiovascular morbidity and premature mortality. Recent evidence indicates a rising trend of elevated blood pressure among young adults, particularly in low- and middle-income countries experiencing rapid lifestyle and dietary transitions. University students are increasingly exposed to chronic academic stress and easy access to high-sodium fast food, potentially accelerating early cardiovascular risk. However, limited qualitative evidence integrates psychosocial and dietary determinants of early hypertension within student populations. Research Methodology: This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach to explore students lived experiences related to mental stress, fast food consumption, and perceived early hypertension risk. The study was conducted at a public university in Indonesia between March and June 2025. Twenty undergraduate students aged 18–25 years were recruited using purposive maximum variation sampling. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis following Braun and Clarke’s framework. Data saturation was achieved at the 18th interview and confirmed in subsequent interviews. Results: Four major themes emerged: (1) academic and psychosocial stress as persistent pressure; (2) fast food as a stress-driven coping mechanism; (3) limited awareness of early hypertension risk; and (4) the interconnection between stress, diet, and physical symptoms. Participants described chronic stress leading to frequent fast-food consumption, which was perceived to contribute to headaches, palpitations, and fatigue. A knowledge behavior gap was evident, as awareness did not translate into preventive action. Conclusion: Early hypertension risk among students is shaped by the interaction between psychosocial stress and maladaptive dietary coping behaviors. Integrated campus-based strategies incorporating stress management, healthier food environments, and routine blood pressure screening are essential to prevent long-term cardiovascular disease
