Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in Indonesia. To reduce stunting rates, a strategy is needed, namely an advocacy approach with health promotion through education. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of leaflet and poster media in increasing knowledge about stunting. This type of research is quasi-experimental with pretest and posttest group design. This research was conducted at the Sitompul Village Posyandu and the Lumbansiagian Jae Village Posyandu in the Siatasbarita Health Center working area which was carried out from July to August 2023. The population was mothers of toddlers. The sample was mothers of toddlers who came to the posyandu in August and September 2023 in Sitompul Village and Lumbansiagian Jae totalling 30 people. The sampling technique was accidental sampling. The sample was given counselling using leaflet and poster media. Data analysis with univariate and bivariate analysis using Paired Sample T Test. The results showed that leaflet media was effective in increasing knowledge with a p-value = 0.000 (α < 0.05) and poster media was also effective in increasing knowledge with a p value = 0.001 (α < 0.05). However, there was no difference in the effectiveness of leaflet media and poster media in improving knowledge with a p-value = 0.464 (α > 0.05). The conclusion is that leaflets and poster media are effective in ienhancingknowledge. There is no difference in effectiveness between leaflet and poster media. It is expected that health workers will be more innovative in using educational media by combining media to be more effective in increasing knowledge Keywords: Effectiveness,  Extension,  Knowledge, Leaflets, Posters

Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge in Indonesia, affecting an estimated 30% of children as of 2023. One of its primary causes is inadequate dietary intake. In response, the Indonesian government introduced the Fill My Plate nutrition program, promoting food diversity and appropriate portion sizes to ensure balanced meals. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of video media and teaching aids in improving maternal knowledge of the Fill My Plate program as a strategy to prevent stunting. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test groups was utilized. The study was conducted in North Tapanuli Regency from July to December 2024, involving 30 mothers of toddlers. Participants were randomly assigned to either the video media group (n = 15) or the teaching aids group (n = 15). Maternal knowledge was assessed using a structured and validated questionnaire. Descriptive statistics were applied for univariate analysis, and an Independent Sample t-test was used for bivariate analysis at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). Mean differences were calculated to determine effect sizes. The results both interventions significantly improved maternal knowledge (p < 0.05). However, there was no statistically significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05), indicating that video media and teaching aids were equally effective as educational tools. No statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups (p = 0.710). Video media and teaching aids are both effective in enhancing maternal knowledge about the Fill My Plate nutrition concept. Health educators are encouraged to integrate these media formats into community-based health programs to strengthen maternal engagement and support stunting prevention efforts Keywords: Fill My Plate, Maternal knowledge, Nutrition, Teaching aids, Video media
