Abstract

Malnutrition in children under 5 years of age is still one of the leading health problems in Indonesia. Early detection of malnutrition in children is vital to allow early intervention. Unfortunately, parents' awareness of the importance of routine nutritional status assessments of their children is still low. Thus, malnutrition in children tends to be recognized late and leads to stunting. The Community Service Team from the Faculty of Medicine, Mahasaraswati University, Denpasar, conducted a nutritional status assessment for children in Banjar Jagatamu aiming at detecting malnutrition in children as well as increasing parental awareness of the importance of routine nutritional status assessment for their children. In total, 27 children aged 0-5 years underwent height, weight, and head circumference assessment to determine their nutritional status. Then, parents received personal counseling with a pediatrician to answer their questions and increase parental knowledge regarding the problem of malnutrition in children. In this social service, there were 10 children (37.0%) with undernutrition and three children (11.11%) with stunting. This social service received a positive response from the community and proved that education and sustainable child health services are still very much needed in Banjar Jagatamu, Meliling Village, Tabanan

Abstract

Stunting is still one of the unresolved child health problems in Indonesia. Education related to providing balanced nutrition is one of the critical keys to preventing stunting in children. We conducted a pediatric health education program regarding "Balanced Nutrition to Reduce Stunting" in Banjar Jagatamu, Meliling Village, Kerambitan, Tabanan on November 17, 2024. This education involved residents of Banjar Jagatamu. We used an educational approach and involved various interactive activities during counseling. During counseling, we provided education regarding nutritional needs according to the child's age, the importance of a high-protein diet for children aged 6 to 24 months, and the importance of routine monitoring of child growth and development at primary health care for early detection of stunting. During the counseling, participants listen enthusiastically and actively ask questions during the discussion session. In addition to increasing participants' insight, this education regarding a balanced diet for children could be a sustainable stunting prevention strategy so that the community and health workers can work together to accelerate reducing stunting in Indonesia
