Abstract

Stunting is a critical global health issue, with Indonesia experiencing high prevalence rates, particularly in regions like West Kalimantan, where the rate reached 26.6% in 2018. Despite some progress in reducing stunting rates, urgent interventions are necessary, particularly through government initiatives focused on improving nutritional status among pregnant women and young children, as well as comprehensive nutritional education programs to raise awareness and promote healthier dietary practices. The purpose of this community service activity is to enhance the knowledge of mothers with toddlers and improve their dietary intake, particularly focusing on foods rich in calcium to support the physical growth of children. The study utilized a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design, specifically a pretest-posttest format without a control group, to assess the impact of educational interventions on mothers' knowledge of stunting and calcium-rich foods. Participants included 25 mothers of toddlers from Posyandu Berdikari, who were engaged through interactive lectures and cooking demonstrations over two months. Knowledge was measured using pretest and posttest questionnaires, while satisfaction with food products was evaluated through a 5-point Likert scale. Data analysis included the Wilcoxon Rank Test for knowledge changes and descriptive statistics to assess satisfaction and organoleptic preferences. The community service program resulted in a significant increase in knowledge among 19 out of 25 respondents, with an average improvement of 25 points and statistical significance (P = 0.00). Additionally, 80% of participants expressed high satisfaction with the calcium-rich Nugget products, while 96% of mothers felt prepared to practice the PMT recipes at home. This indicates a positive impact on both knowledge and acceptance of nutritional education and products. The nutrition education program significantly improved mothers' knowledge about stunting, leading to high satisfaction with calcium-rich products and readiness to implement PMT recipes at home.

Abstract

Peatland environments often rely on groundwater with low mineral content, which may increase children’s vulnerability to dental caries. This study examined whether family factors parental education, occupation, economic status, and parenting practices are associated with dental caries among young children. This descriptive cross-sectional study used a mixed-methods approach. The study was conducted at PAUD Dzafira, East Pontianak, West Kalimantan, and included 45 parent–child pairs selected through total sampling. Data on parental characteristics, parenting practices, and children’s caries status were collected. Quantitative data were analyzed using Spearman’s correlation, and qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo. The mean dental caries score was 3.91 ± 3.21, ranging from 0 to 14 decayed teeth. Significant correlations were observed between children’s caries and maternal education (r = −0.452; p = 0.002), family economic status (r = −0.300; p = 0.045), and maternal occupation (r = −0.535; p < 0.001). Caries-free children were generally characterized by early habit formation, active parental supervision, and consistent motivation. In contrast, inconsistent routines, inappropriate toothbrushing times, and limited parental ability to teach toothbrushing behaviors were more common among children with caries. Higher maternal education, stable employment, and better economic conditions are associated with lower dental caries among children. Strengthening oral health education, especially for mothers as primary caregivers, and improving access to affordable dental care are essential to reduce caries risk in peatland communities.
