Abstract

During pregnancy, a mother will experience various changes, both anatomical and physiological. Pregnancy exercise is one of the activities in pregnancy services or prenatal care that aims to prepare and train muscles so that they can be used optimally in normal delivery. Knowledge and attitude are factors in the formation of behavior. The purpose of this study was to identify the relationship between knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women with the implementation of pregnancy exercise. This type of research is quantitative analytic using a cross-sectional design. The time of the study was August 18 - September 3, 2010. The sampling technique was purposive sampling through non-probability sampling of 55 people. Data collection through interviews using structured questionnaires. Data analysis used was univariate and bivariate (chi square, simple logistic regression, and correlation test). The results showed that most pregnant women at the Ciputat Health Center had good knowledge about pregnancy exercise, namely 40 respondents (72.7%), had a positive attitude towards pregnancy exercise, namely 36 respondents (65.5%), and 32 respondents (58.2%) did not do pregnancy exercise. Based on bivariate data analysis, the p Value = 0.037 was obtained, which means there is a relationship between knowledge and the implementation of pregnancy exercises (p <0.05). Significant results were also obtained with a p Value = 0.001, which means there is a relationship between attitude and the implementation of pregnancy exercises (p <0.05). Based on the results of the study, the author suggests increasing health promotion about pregnancy exercises, and holding pregnancy exercise programs for pregnant women.

Abstract

Indonesia continues to face a significant burden of stunting that seriously impacts human resource quality and national development. Stunting is defined as a condition of chronic linear growth failure in children under five years, characterized by height-for-age below minus two standard deviations (−2 SD) from the WHO Child Growth Standards median, resulting from prolonged nutritional deficiency during the first 1,000 days of life. Indonesia's national stunting prevalence in 2022 remained at 21.6%, far from the 2024 national target of 14%. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge of pregnant mothers and mothers with toddlers regarding the definition, causative factors, impacts, and prevention strategies of stunting in Banyumas Village, Stabat District, Langkat Regency, in 2025. A community-based participatory intervention approach with a pre-post single group design was employed, incorporating interactive health counseling, group discussion sessions, anthropometric examination of toddlers, and pre-test and post-test knowledge assessments using a validated questionnaire. Participants consisted of 21 pregnant mothers and mothers with toddlers, with 7 toddlers undergoing anthropometric examination. Results demonstrated a significant increase in the mean knowledge score from 55.24 (pre-test) to 82.38 (post-test), reflecting an improvement of 27.14 points. Anthropometric examination identified 1 out of 7 toddlers (14.3%) as having poor nutritional status based on the height-for-age index. Beyond measurable knowledge gains, the activity successfully promoted perceptual change among participants, fostered the active role of local health cadres as community change agents, and cultivated collective awareness regarding the importance of multi-stakeholder collaboration in stunting prevention efforts. It is recommended that posyandu cadres actively sustain the 1,000 HPK counseling program on a continuous basis, and that the institution develop more comprehensive follow-up community service programs in the target area.
