Abstract

Nutritional status according to WHO (World Health Organization) is used as a benchmark in assessing human development and nutritional needs. Nutritional status itself can be defined as a health condition that arises from a balance between nutritional needs and the nutritional intake received. So monitoring nutritional status regularly is important to ensure good and healthy growth. This method is the first step to identify potential health problems such as stunting, wasting and overweight. The assessment is carried out to determine nutritional status by measuring body weight and length/height with a predetermined body mass index and aims to increase knowledge of nutritional science and determine the nutritional status of expert lecture participants, both students, implementing community service. There are 3 stages in implementing this activity, namely: preparation, inspection and implementation. The preparation stages include obtaining permits, field observations, collecting materials and preparing materials as well as coordinating with related parties. The stages of implementing the activities are taking anthropometric measurements, weighing body weight and taking height measurements and the third stage is providing health education regarding human nutrition and accompanied by questions and answers. The results of this service activity from the 30 participants who attended were measurable, there were several participants who were overweight. So it is necessary to increase nutritional knowledge.

Abstract

Anthropometry is a direct technique for evaluatingnutritional status, especially protein and energy levels of the body. One of the efforts to develop competent and skilled cadres in anthropometric measurements is through training techniques. To determine the relationship between knowledge, role, motivation and length of service of Posyandu cadres towards the use of anthropometric tools at the Topo Health Center UPTD.Method:This type of research is observational analytic using Cross Sectional Study. The research sample amounted to 30 cadres from 3 active posyandu. Data analysis used the Statistical Program For Social Science (SPSS) version 16.0.Results:Chi Square Testshows that there is no relationship between cadre knowledge and the use of anthropometric tools based on the measurement of the foot scale and stadiometer (p-value> 0.05). There is a relationship between cadre knowledge and the use of anthropometric tools based on the measurement ofLiLa, infantometer, and head circumference (p-value <0.05). While the relationship between work period and the use of anthropometric tools and the relationship between motivation and the use of anthropometric tools is not related (p-value> 0.05). Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between cadre knowledge and the use of anthropometric tools (measurement ofLiLa, infantometer, and head circumference). There is no significant relationship between work period and the use of anthropometric tools, as well as motivation and the use of anthropometric tools. Suggestion: it is hoped that cadre training will be held frequently and will be improved and more active in using anthropometric tools.
