Abstract

Background: Low birth weight (LBW) remains a significant concern, particularly for newborn mortality in the neonatal period. It serves as a crucial public health indicator for maternal health, nutrition, access to healthcare services, and poverty.  LBW is not solely influenced by pre-pregnancy maternal characteristics, but also by risk factors encountered during pregnancy. Objective: Knowing the factors related to the incidence of low birth weight in laboring mothers. Method: This analytic observational study employed a cross-sectional approach. A sample of 308 mothers giving birth were recruited using purposive sampling at Idaman Hospital, Banjarbaru. Categorical data is systematically presented in a frequency distribution table, and the associations between variables are statistically analyzed using the Chi-square test, utilizing SPSS software for accurate computation and interpretation of results. Results: The results showed that 71.8% of mothers delivering babies were not at risk (20-35 years old), 72.1% were not anemic, 77.3% did not experience pregnancy-induced hypertension, 78.6% did not have premature rupture of membranes and 76% did not deliver LBW babies. Statistical analysis revealed significant relationships between age (p-value = 0.024), anemia (p-value = 0.009), pregnancy-induced hypertension (p-value = 0.014), and premature rupture of membranes (p-value = 0.031) with the incidence of LBW. Conclusion: This study shows the association between age, anemia, pregnancy-induced hypertension, and premature rupture of membranes with the incidence of LBW.

Abstract

Abstract. Stunting is a serious problem in Sungai Tandipah Village, Sungai Tabuk Subdistrict, Banjar Regency, with prevalence increasing from 11.9% (2022) to 18.42% (2024). Contributing factors include poor sanitation due to untreated river water consumption, low nutritional literacy, and vulnerable agricultural-based livelihoods affected by flooding. The partner in this program is Posyandu Mawar, with 10 active cadres whose roles in nutrition education, parenting, and stunting prevention remain suboptimal. The main issues are divided into social aspects—low communication skills among cadres, limited awareness of child nutrition among mothers, poor sanitation, and lack of educational media—and management aspects, such as weak financial management and underutilization of local food potential. Solutions offered include training in interpersonal communication, balanced nutrition, simple water filter development, educational toolkit creation, financial management training, and establishment of a mini nutrition stall based on local food. The program was implemented through five stages: socialization, training, technology application, mentoring, and sustainability planning. The results show increased cadre capacity, with 90% improving interpersonal communication skills, 100% understanding balanced nutrition principles, and 90% improving financial management knowledge. Tangible outputs include educational media, two prototypes of simple water filters, and a mini nutrition stall producing local food products, supporting sustainable stunting prevention in the community. Abstrak.  Stunting merupakan permasalahan serius di Desa Sungai Tandipah, Kecamatan Sungai Tabuk, Kabupaten Banjar, dengan prevalensi meningkat dari 11,9% (2022) menjadi 18,42% (2024). Faktor penyebab meliputi sanitasi buruk akibat penggunaan air sungai tanpa pengolahan, rendahnya literasi gizi, serta kondisi ekonomi berbasis pertanian yang rentan banjir. Mitra kegiatan adalah Posyandu Mawar dengan 10 kader aktif yang belum optimal dalam edukasi gizi, pola asuh, dan pencegahan stunting. Permasalahan utama mencakup aspek sosial, seperti keterampilan komunikasi kader yang rendah, minimnya kesadaran ibu balita, sanitasi yang buruk, dan ketiadaan media edukasi, serta aspek manajemen berupa lemahnya pengelolaan keuangan dan belum dimanfaatkannya pangan lokal. Solusi ditawarkan melalui pelatihan komunikasi interpersonal, gizi seimbang, pembuatan filter air sederhana, pengembangan toolkit edukasi, pelatihan manajemen keuangan, dan pembentukan warung gizi mini berbasis pangan lokal. Kegiatan dilaksanakan melalui lima tahapan: sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan, dan perencanaan keberlanjutan. Hasil menunjukkan peningkatan kapasitas kader, dengan 90% lebih terampil dalam komunikasi interpersonal, 100% memahami gizi seimbang, serta 90% lebih baik dalam manajemen keuangan. Produk nyata berupa media edukasi, dua prototipe filter air, dan warung gizi mini telah dihasilkan, mendukung keberlanjutan pencegahan stunting di masyarakat.
