Abstract

Stunting is one of the public health problems that is still a concern in Indonesia with a high prevalence at both national and local levels. Based on Riskesdas 2020, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia reached 27.67%, while the national target is 14% by 2024. To support these efforts, Tri Tunas Nasional Institute of Technology and Health in collaboration with Rumah Zakat organized a community service program entitled "Healthy Mothers, Stunting-Free Children Agent". This activity was aimed at pregnant and breastfeeding mothers in Rapokalling District, Makassar, with the aim of increasing their knowledge and awareness about stunting and how to prevent it. This program uses participatory education methods, interactive discussions, and food distribution as practical support. Evaluation was conducted through pre-test and post-test to measure knowledge improvement. Results showed a significant increase in participants' understanding of stunting and balanced nutrition, as well as behavioral changes towards a healthy diet. These findings demonstrate the importance of community-based interventions integrated with logistical support for successful stunting prevention.

Abstract

Although local-food-based supplementary feeding is increasingly promoted as a sustainable strategy for addressing childhood undernutrition, evidence on participatory training that simultaneously strengthens caregivers’ knowledge and practical food-preparation skills remains limited. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers of undernourished children and community health cadres in preparing and utilizing local-food-based Supplementary Feeding (PMT). The program was conducted in the working area of Buntu Batu Community Health Center, Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi, involving 35 participants. Activities consisted of nutrition education, interactive discussions, food-preparation demonstrations, and supervised hands-on practice using locally available ingredients. Knowledge was assessed using pre-test and post-test questionnaires, while practical skills were evaluated using observation sheets. The mean knowledge score increased from 56.6 before training to 78.2 after training, representing an increase of 21.6 points. Similarly, the mean practical skill score increased from 58.34 to 84.26, an improvement of 25.92 points. These findings demonstrate substantial descriptive improvements in participants’ capacity to select, prepare, and serve nutritionally appropriate local supplementary foods. Integrating nutrition education with practical training may therefore support community empowerment, household-level utilization of local foods, and sustainable public health interventions for preventing and managing undernutrition among children under five.
