Abstract

Tetanus is caused by bacteria that enter through an open wound and produce a toxin which then attacks the central nervous system. Sufferers experience muscle spasms followed by difficulty swallowing and even breathing. Tetanus is especially at risk for babies born with the help of traditional birth attendants at home with non-sterile equipment. They are also at risk when unclean tools are used to cut the umbilical cord and traditional ointments or ashes are used to cover the cut wound. One of the efforts to prevent tetanus neonatorum is by giving TT (Tetanus Toxoid) immunization to pregnant women. This TT immunization is expected to reduce the number of tetanus cases in Indonesia, so that the community needs to be provided with information so that their knowledge and attitudes about TT immunization can be implemented especially for pregnant women.

Abstract

In 2022, the Cirebon District faced a persistent issue of high stunting rates, affecting 15,299 cases or approximately 9.4% of its population. This study focuses on Sampiran Village, Talun Subdistrict, within the Cirebon District, aiming to investigate the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting in toddlers. Employing a cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling, data collection included questionnaires and anthropometric measurements provided by parents of the participating toddlers. Results revealed that 63.2% of toddlers did not receive exclusive breastfeeding, and 21% of them experienced stunting. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting occurrence (p < 0.05), with an Odds Ratio of 1.133. This suggests that exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the risk of stunting by 1.133 times, emphasizing its crucial role in stunting prevention among toddlers. These findings underscore the urgency of promoting and educating parents and caregivers about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Encouraging exclusive breastfeeding practices can potentially mitigate the prevalence of stunting in this vulnerable age group within the Cirebon District, ultimately contributing to better child health and well-being.
