Abstract

Background: The condition of failure to thrive in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition and making children too short for their age is called stunting. Purpose: This research was conducted to analyze the risk factors of stunting in children.  Methods: The study was conducted from mid-May to mid-August 2020. This study developed a model for maternal empowerment in preventing and managing stunting using a cross-sectional design, then implementing the model using a quasi-experimental non-randomized pre-post control group design. The population involved was all mothers with children under five years old in Posyandu Ngariboyo, Candirejo, and Plaosan, obtaining 250 mothers. Meanwhile, the study sample was 150 mothers who had children under five years old in Posyandu Ngariboyo, Candirejo, who met the inclusion criteria. Results: Mothers with good characteristics increased their knowledge of stunting prevention and control by 0.42 times (p=0.01). Mothers with good knowledge increased their maternal commitment by 0.23 (p=0.01), and mothers who had good commitment reduced stunting by 0.45 (p=0.01). Furthermore, mothers with good knowledge increased the family support by 0.24 (p=0.01). In addition, good family support also reduced stunting by 0.26 (p=0.01). Conclusion: Mother's knowledge contributes to the prevention and management of stunting. Children's physical health, family support, nutritional status, and home environment are also important factors in stunting prevention and management. Family support is needed by mothers to realize their commitment to carrying out early detection, prevention, and control stunting.

Abstract

Background: Stunting occurs when a toddler's growth is not age-appropriate, characterized by a child's body length or height being less than age-appropriate. Reducing stunting requires integrated interventions, including both nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions. Efforts to address the indirect causes of stunting are summarised in nutrition-sensitive interventions, which account for 70% of stunting interventions. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of sensitive interventions on efforts to reduce stunting among children under five years of age at Puskesmas (Community Health Centre) in Bangkalan Regency. Methods: The study was conducted in March-September 2020 with an analytical cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all children aged 1 to 5 years who were in the working area of Bangkalan District in January - December 2019, totaling 430. A sample of 207 was taken by random cluster sampling. The independent variables in this study were clean and healthy living behaviour (PHBS), access to family planning services, and insurance ownership (only BPJS because this insurance is the most commonly owned by the community). In comparison, the independent variable was stunting in toddlers. The data used were primary and secondary data using closed question questionnaires, Maternal and Child Health books, and cohorts of pregnant women/toddlers. Data were analyzed using logistic regression. Results: It was found that sensitive interventions that affect the incidence of stunting were PHBS with a p-value = 0.03 and BPJS ownership variables with a p-value = 0.04, which means that PHBS and BPJS affect the incidence of stunting in children under five. Meanwhile, the variable access to family planning does not affect stunting. Conclusion: Sensitive interventions affecting stunting incidence are PHBS and BPJS ownership.
