Abstract

Stunting is a growth and development disorder in children caused by a lack of nutritional intake in the first 1000 days of life (HPK). It is a national issue requiring special attention from the government because stunting can hinder human resource potential and is linked to the health level of an area. Therefore, preventing stunting becomes a shared responsibility, with Posyandu cadres, as community representatives, playing an important role in implementing effective interventions to reduce stunting rates. This activity aims to broaden the insight of Posyandu cadres. Through this effort, it is hoped that Posyandu services will improve, leading to a reduction in stunting rates. The activity utilized the lecture and question-and-answer method. As a result, the average knowledge of Posyandu cadres increased from 42% to 100%.

Abstract

The breastfeeding rate in Indonesia is 15.3%. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Central Sulawesi in 2021 was 53.5% and in Poso Regency was 51.1%. Exclusive breastfeeding coverage in Pinedapa Village, Poso Coastal District in 2022 was 57%. One of the causes of low breastfeeding rates in Indonesia is the lack of knowledge among pregnant women, families, and the community about the importance of breastfeeding. The most common problem experienced by breastfeeding mothers is sore nipples. This condition usually occurs due to incorrect baby positioning during breastfeeding or incorrect breastfeeding techniques. The purpose of this activity was to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women and health cadres on the correct breastfeeding techniques to meet the nutritional needs of infants and thus prevent stunting. The methods used in this community service activity were lectures, discussions, and demonstrations. The results obtained from this activity were that the knowledge of pregnant women and posyandu cadres after the counseling increased to good (100%). The skills of pregnant women and cadres after the training increased from unskilled (0%) to skilled (100%).

Abstract

A prevalent experience among pregnant women is discomfort. Acupressure, a cornerstone of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), seeks to harmonize the body's energy flow through meridian points postulated to be interconnected with internal organs. This community outreach initiative sought to augment the capabilities of pregnant women and caregivers of infants/toddlers in self-acupressure and neonatal/infant acupressure within Lantojaya Village, Poso Pesisir District, Poso Regency. The methodology encompassed lectures, interactive question-and-answer sessions, discussions, and practical demonstrations. The outcomes revealed a discernible shift in participants' knowledge concerning acupressure principles and their proficiency in applying acupressure to specific part of body.

Abstract

Stunting is a national health issue with significant implications for the quality of future generations, making it a priority for the government at both central and local levels. This community service program aimed to enhance the knowledge and skills of mothers with children under two years old (infants) and posyandu cadres in Lembomawo Village, Poso Kota Selatan Subdistrict, on utilizing local food ingredients for supplementary feeding (PMT). Through counseling and cooking demonstrations, participants were introduced to three PMT recipes tailored to the food texture requirements of infants: 6–8 months (Bubur Singkong Kukuruyuk Saus Jeruk), 9–11 months (Nasi Tim Ikan Telur Sayuran), and 12–23 months (Tim Ikan Menado). Additionally, recipe books for local infant and maternal nutrition were distributed to mothers and posyandu cadres to serve as practical guidelines. The results of the program showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge about the importance of supplementary feeding using local ingredients, from 23.6% prior to the intervention to 85.72% afterward. This program was conducted in collaboration with the Village Midwife and the Lembomawo Village Government, aiming to contribute to reducing stunting rates through sustainable utilization of local resources.
