Abstract

Chronic energy deficiency (CED) occurs in people who suffer from protein and energy deficiencies during pregnancy. Based on data from the World Health Organization, it is currently estimated that there are 32 million pregnant women worldwide experiencing nutritional problems, meanwhile, the prevalence of CED pregnant women in Indonesia is currently quite high. The impact of Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED) on mothers causes the risk of complications such as anemia, bleeding, complications of childbirth, and fatigue, various factors that can cause CED problems in pregnant women include the lack of knowledge of pregnant women about CED. Due to the lack of knowledge about the nutrition of pregnant women, it can result in a lack of nutritious food during pregnancy. This problem is the background for community service activities regarding counseling on chronic energy and nutritional deficiencies in pregnant women with the aim of this mentoring service to increase mothers' knowledge about chronic energy and nutritional deficiencies in pregnant women. The method with communicative information techniques and using 3 approaches, namely observation, counseling and evaluation, the target in this activity is 17 pregnant women. The results showed that before being given counseling, only 4 people (24%) had good knowledge, after being given counseling, the category of good knowledge increased to 13 people (81%). So it can be concluded that there was an increase in the knowledge of pregnant women about KEK before and after being given counseling.

Abstract

Nutritional problems that often occur in pregnant women are Chronic Energy Deficiency (CED), which can have a negative impact on the health of the mother and fetus. Globally, around one in eight pregnant women experience CED, with a significant prevalence in several regions, including Indonesia. CED in pregnant women can cause nutritional imbalances that lead to complications in childbirth, premature birth, low birth weight (LBW), and neonatal death. One effort to overcome CED is by providing additional food (PMT), which aims to increase the energy and protein intake of pregnant women. This community service aims to increase the knowledge of pregnant women regarding the importance of PMT and to monitor changes in the nutritional status of pregnant women who experience CED. The method used in this community service is counseling regarding CED and PMT for pregnant women at the Ponre Health Center. Before the intervention, nutritional status was measured using the Upper Arm Circumference (LILA). The results showed that after the counseling, there was an increase in the knowledge of pregnant women regarding CED and the benefits of PMT. Although changes in nutritional status have not been seen in a short time, it is hoped that pregnant women and the community can process and consume appropriate food ingredients to improve nutritional adequacy. With the assistance, it is expected that pregnant women can maintain optimal nutritional status for the health of the mother and the baby born.
