Abstract

Self-medication is an effort made by the community to treat symptoms of illness or disease using medication without a doctor's prescription. Nowadays, people more often practice self-medication by buying chemical medicines at pharmacies for health problems experienced by their toddlers without knowing the side effects that can be caused. In society, so far, baby spas have only focused on children's growth and development to fulfill the rights of children with special needs and monitor children's development according to age. In the midst of the many people who want services to overcome the health problems of toddlers (sick toddlers), we hope to be able to develop services to meet these needs by adhering to the principle of complementary services with the existence of Baby Spa training which is one of the efforts to handle toddler health problems comprehensively. Complement before using chemical drugs, the samples used were 40, with a total sampling technique. From the results of this training and counseling, it is hoped that it can increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers regarding baby spas as an effort to handle toddler health problems before seeking treatment at a health facility, research analysis using qualitative analysis techniques.

Abstract

Stunting in children is a complex health problem with long-term impacts on physical growth, cognitive development, and future individual productivity. One contributing factor to stunting is poor environmental sanitation, particularly during pregnancy. This community service activity aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of pregnant women about the importance of environmental sanitation as a preventative measure against stunting in children. The activity was carried out in Rancangkencono Village, involving 12 pregnant women as participants. The implementation method included direct counseling, group discussions, and demonstrations of basic sanitation practices such as handwashing, using healthy latrines, and managing household waste. Evaluation was conducted by comparing pretest and posttest results to measure knowledge gains. The results showed an increase in the average knowledge score of participants from 55 in the pretest to 85 in the posttest. In addition, participants demonstrated positive changes in attitudes toward implementing clean and healthy living behaviors in the home environment. Data analysis showed that a participatory and contextual educational approach can increase the understanding and motivation of pregnant women to maintain environmental cleanliness for the health of their fetus and unborn child. Environmental sanitation education has proven to be an effective strategy in preventing stunting from pregnancy, so it needs to be implemented sustainably with cross-sector support at the community level.
