Abstract

Introduction: Stunting is a major nutrition problem worldwide, especially in poor and developing countries. This problem leads to children's suboptimal brain, mental, and cognitive development. The stunting rate globally was 32.6% in 2000, and by 2017, around 150.8 million people were suffering from malnutrition and stunting. This research aims to determine the implementation of stunting prevention policies in the Puskesmas (Public Health Centre) Blang Cut working area.Methods: The research used a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to analyze the implementation of countermeasure policies to reduce stunting. The Health Belief Model was used as the theoretical framework. The methodological orientation of this research was discourse analysis. The study used an interview guide and a voice recorder to collect information from 9 informants.Results: Puskesmas Blang Cut has implemented several countermeasure policies to reduce stunting. These include increasing awareness about the importance of proper nutrition and hygiene, training healthcare workers on stunting prevention, and monitoring children's growth regularly. Implementing these policies has led to a significant reduction in the prevalence of stunting. However, some challenges still need to be addressed, such as increasing access to healthcare services and improving the quality of healthcare facilities.Conclusion: Communication factors related to implementing Countermeasure Policies in Stunting Reduction have been running well. The puskesmas has carried out all stunting reduction program activities, but the more dominant one is the Supplementary Feeding Program for those affected by stunting.

Background: During this period, infants and children receive food and drink with an appropriate nutritional intake for optimal growth and development. Media such as audiovisual videos make it easier to increase maternal knowledge. This study was conducted to determine the effect of video on rising mothers' knowledge about weaning food in infants 6-24 months at Posyandu (Integrated Service Center). Methods: The type of research was quantitative, which is experimental with a one-group pre-post-test design approach. This study's population was mothers with children aged 6-24 months, using the total sampling method. Data collection used a questionnaire as an instrument that contained information on complementary foods. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon test. Results: the results showed a significant influence between weaning food education through video about maternal knowledge obtained with p-value=0.001 <a=0.05. Conclusion: There was a significant difference in maternal knowledge before and after being given an educational video intervention on complementary foods, which means that educational video affects increasing maternal knowledge about complementary foods in infants aged 6-26 months in the village.

Abstract

Background: Children's social development affects how they socialize with their surrounding environment, where some children have difficulty socializing and adjusting to the environment. The purpose of this study was to compare the social development of preschool-age children in working mothers and non-working mothers.Methods: This study used analytical observations with a cross-sectional design conducted by 113 mothers with preschool children aged 4-6. Data was collected using the DDST II questionnaire sheet specifically for aspects of personal social development. Results: The respondents were 20-35 years old (79.6%), almost half of the children were four years old (40.7%), and also half of the children were female (64.6%). Next, half of the mothers were working (75.3%), the nuclear family type (61.9%), and the social development of preschool children were mostly in the caution category, as much as 47.8%. There was a difference in the social development of children in working mothers and non-working mothers (p-value<0.05). Conclusion: It is expected that working mothers can manage their time, guide and supervise the development of their children, and provide independent trust and freedom to children so that they are not dependent on their parents to carry out age-appropriate developmental tasks.
