Abstract

The role of mothers is very strategic in preventing stunting through fulfilling nutritional needs during pregnancy, providing exclusive breastfeeding, implementing balanced nutritional complementary feeding (MP-ASI), and regularly monitoring child growth and development. Mothers also play a role in maintaining environmental cleanliness, accessing basic health services (ANC, immunization, iron supplementation), and implementing responsive parenting practices. Objective: This Community Service Program aims to improve mother’s knowledge in preventing and managing stunting through nutrition education, growth and development monitoring. Methods: The methods used in this program included screening, lectures, and discussions, with sequential stages consisting of field observation and problem identification, proposing solutions, activity planning, implementation, and evaluation. Activities were carried out through interactive counseling sessions, demonstrations of growth monitoring, and screening or detection of child growth status. Results: The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge. The proportion of mothers with knowledge increased from 30% to 90% after receiving the educational intervention. Conclusion: The educational activities implemented were proven effective in strengthening mothers’ capacity in stunting prevention and have the potential to reduce stunting risk at the household and community levels. Structured and targeted education needs to be continuously enhanced as part of strategies to accelerate stunting prevention.

Abstract

Stunting remains a major chronic nutritional problem with long-term consequences for physical growth, cognitive development, and overall quality of life. In 2024, the global prevalence of stunting reached 23.2%, while Indonesia reported 21.5%, East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) 37.9%, and Kupang District even higher at 39.5%. Household-level factors such as maternal nutrition literacy, responsive feeding practices, and adherence to growth monitoring play an essential role in stunting prevention. A preliminary assessment indicated that many mothers still demonstrated limited nutrition literacy, suboptimal responsive feeding practices, and irregular participation in growth monitoring services. This study aimed to determine the influence of maternal nutrition literacy, responsive feeding, and growth monitoring compliance on stunting among toddlers. A descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach was applied, and data were analyzed using logistic regression. The findings showed that maternal nutrition literacy (b = –1.61; SE = 0.73; p = 0.034), responsive feeding (b = –1.93; SE = 0.62; p = 0.019), and growth monitoring (b = –1.82; SE = 0.76; p = 0.017) were significantly associated with stunting. Thus, improving maternal nutrition literacy, promoting responsive feeding practices, and strengthening compliance with routine growth monitoring are crucial strategies for reducing stunting among young children.
