Abstract

Background: Stunting is failure to grow and develop in children under 5 years of age and is caused by chronic malnutrition which is characterized by below-normal body length or height. In 2021 in Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting is around 7.9%. Stunting cases in East Nusa Tenggara Province are still high, namely 26.3%, and for the Kupang Regency area, stunting cases have a prevalence of 25.5%. In Oelnasi Village, it was recorded that out of a total of 240 toddlers, 36 toddlers were in the short category and 9 toddlers were in the very short category with a prevalence rate of 18.8%. Objective: This research aims to increase the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers and prevent stunting in babies by empowering cadres in Oelnasi Village. Method: This type of research is quantitative with a Quasi-Experimental design, pre-test and post-test design. The sample in this study was 60 mothers of toddlers in Oelnasi Village, Kupang Regency. The research instrument used in this study was a questionnaire regarding mothers' knowledge and attitudes towards stunting. Results: Based on the SPSS test on mothers' knowledge and attitudes using the Wilcoxon test, the result was p = 0.001 or a significance level of p < 0.05, which means there is a difference between the mother's level of knowledge and attitudes before and after empowering cadres using the counseling method.

Abstract

The nutritional status of pregnant women is a crucial factor that impacts the health of both the mother and fetus during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period. This study aims to describe and analyze the relationships between the nutritional status of pregnant women, pregnancy risk groups, and the demographic characteristics of pregnant women in Kupang City. The design of this study was descriptive-analytic with a quantitative approach. Data were collected from most health centers in Kupang City in March 2024 through pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI) measurements, pregnancy risk scores based on the Poedji Rochjati Score Card (PRSC), and demographic data of pregnant women. Chi-Square and Fisher's Exact Test were used to analyze the relationship between variables. Of the 140 respondents, the majority of pregnant women had normal nutritional status (79%), were at reproductive age (69%), and belonged to the low pregnancy risk group (74%). The analysis results showed a significant relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and age and pregnancy risk group (p<0.05), but no significant relationship between nutritional status and employment status or education level. In conclusion, good nutritional status before pregnancy correlates with lower reproductive age and pregnancy risk, so it is important for promotive and preventive efforts to focus on improving nutrition from adolescence and before pregnancy.
