Abstract

Stunting in toddlers is a global health problem that requires serious attention, especially in developing countries. This community service activity aims to examine the role of families in stunting prevention in toddlers, focusing on educational aspects. The family has a significant role in ensuring the optimal growth and development of children. This community service activity is carried out through the planning, implementation, and evaluation stages. The results showed that family education is closely related to stunting prevention, involving understanding nutrition, healthy eating, sanitation, and hygiene practices. Factors such as a family's education level, socioeconomic status, and access to health services affect a family's ability to implement stunting prevention practices. Therefore, appropriate and easily accessible educational programmes need to be developed to increase family knowledge and awareness about the importance of child growth and development. This activity recommends that the government, health institutions, and health practitioners integrate educational approaches into stunting prevention programmes. Collaborative efforts between various parties are needed to create an environment that supports optimal child growth and reduces stunting at the population level.

Abstract

Stunting is a significant public health problem, especially among toddlers, caused by chronic malnutrition and suboptimal parenting. This community service program aims to overcome these problems by providing relevant education and interventions to mothers of toddlers who experience stunting. This program aims to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers under five in terms of parenting and healthy nutrition, as well as encourage behavioral changes that support optimal child growth and development. This program is carried out through a series of educational activities, including training on balanced nutrition, how to serve nutritious food, and parenting techniques that support children's health. In addition, this activity also involves direct counseling and the provision of educational materials that are easy to understand by mothers of toddlers. The evaluation was carried out to measure the improvement of parenting knowledge, skills, and practices and their impact on the nutritional status of children. Early results showed a significant increase in maternal knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy parenting. Practical skills in the presentation of nutritious food have also improved. Further evaluation showed that there was an improvement in the nutritional status of toddlers and a decrease in the prevalence of stunting in the target community. This community service program has succeeded in improving parenting and healthy nutrition knowledge for mothers of stunted toddlers. This intervention is expected to be a model for similar programs in other regions and make a positive contribution to reducing stunting rates more broadly

Abstract

Community empowerment in the context of health has become a significant focus of efforts to improve overall public health. Increasing public knowledge and health awareness is this empowerment's primary goal. Through various methods such as health education, active community participation, use of information technology, resource support, and continuous evaluation, empowerment efforts aim to create an environment where people are more aware of the importance of health and have sufficient knowledge to make informed decisions regarding their health. The results of this empowerment include improved healthy living behaviours, reduced health disparities, increased access to equitable health services, and the development of more independent and empowered communities. By strengthening community empowerment, it can be expected that overall public health will improve, and creating a society that is more health-conscious and able to contribute to maintaining health together can create an environment where people are more health-conscious, have enough knowledge to make good decisions regarding their health, and actively contribute to maintaining health together
