Abstract

The prevalence of stunting in the City of Makassar increased from 2022 to 2023. This is in contrast to the government's target to reduce stunting. Parenting patterns are parenting practices that influence a child's growth. One form of them is the feeding practices for toddlers. This research aimed to analyze the relationship between feeding practices and the incidence of stunting in 12-59 months toddlers at Tamalanrea Community Health Center Area. Research used quantitative methods with a cross sectional design on 53 samples of toddlers aged 12-59 months with respondents being mothers of toddlers. Samples were taken using a purposive sampling technique according to the inclusion criteria, toddlers who live in the Tamalanrea Health Center work area; aged 12-59 months; and cared for by mothers as primary caregivers. The exclusion criteria included toddlers with chronic diseases such as congenital heart disease, genetic disorders, allergies, and other chronic diseases that can affect linear growth; toddlers with autism or mental retardation; and mothers who refused to participate in the study. Data on the nutritional status of toddlers was collected by measuring body length using an infantometer or height using a stadiometer and data on feeding practices by mothers were collected using FPSQ. The results showed that the percentage of respondents with low feeding practices was 33%, 20% in mothers with stunted toddlers and 13% in mothers with normal toddlers. There was a significant relationship between feeding practices and stunting in toddlers (p = 0.001) with an inverse relationship and moderate level (r=-0.446). The conclusion was the better feeding practices given the lower incidence of stunting in toddlers. This implied the importance of education on feeding practices for mothers of toddlers so that mothers can apply good feeding practices to toddlers in everyday life, in the Tamalanrea Makassar Health Center area, to prevent stunting.  Keywords : Feeding practices; Mothers of toddlers; Stunting; Toddlers

Abstract

Nutritional intake in toddlers, especially protein, is important because of protein functions as a building nutrient. Toddlers with inadequate protein intake are more at risk of stunting. Education about animal protein-rich in complementary foods for mothers of toddlers is needed to increase the intake of animal protein in toddlers, which can be delivered through an educational media such as banner. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of banner as educational media to increase mothers' knowledge about animal protein-rich in complementary food for stunting prevention. This study used a quasi-experimental method with a one group pre test-post test design on mothers of toddlers in the work area of the Tamalanrea Health Center, Makassar. A sample of 44 mothers was selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria, which were mothers with toddlers and willing to participate in this study. The instruments were banner as educational media and questionnaire to assess knowledge before and after the educational intervention. Education was conducted initially through a counseling session using the banner, which was then displayed at the Tamalanrea Health Center as an educational tool. Data were processed and analyzed using SPSS with a paired t-test. The results showed a significant increase in mothers’ knowledge about animal protein-rich in complementary food with the average score rising from 46,6 to 80,7 with a p-value of 0.001. The educational media banner has proven effective in increasing the knowledge of mothers’ about animal protein-rich in complementary food for stunting prevention. The use of similar educational media is expected to be implemented in various health facilities as a promotive and preventive effort in overcoming stunting in Indonesia.
