Abstract

Stunting remains a major chronic nutritional problem that affects children’s physical growth, cognitive development, and increases the risk of degenerative diseases later in life. Preventive efforts require active family involvement, particularly mothers as primary caregivers. Limited maternal knowledge regarding balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding practices, sanitation, and clean and healthy living behaviors contributes significantly to the risk of stunting in the community. This community service program aimed to enhance mothers’ knowledge in preventing stunting in Rajagaluh Lor Village, Majalengka Regency. The program applied a participatory educational approach through interactive lectures, group discussions, and distribution of educational leaflets. The target participants were pregnant women and mothers with toddlers. Evaluation of the activity was conducted using pre-test and post-test assessments to measure changes in participants’ knowledge. Data were analyzed descriptively by comparing the mean scores before and after the intervention. The results demonstrated a noticeable improvement in mothers’ knowledge following the educational intervention, as reflected by higher post-test scores compared to pre-test scores. Participants also showed strong engagement during discussions and improved understanding of key stunting prevention strategies, including adequate nutritional intake, child growth monitoring, and environmental sanitation practices. In conclusion, health education activities proved effective in increasing maternal knowledge regarding stunting prevention. Continuous and integrated programs in collaboration with community health services and cross-sectoral support are recommended to optimize stunting reduction efforts at the village level.

Abstract

Abstract : Background. The Regional House of Representatives (DPRD) has three main functions: legislation, budget, and supervision. Legislation is vital in forming quality Regional Regulations (Perda) responsive to the community's needs. However, this function often experiences challenges in its implementation, such as a lack of public participation, limited resources, clashes with political interests, and weak coordination with the executive. Aims. This study analyzes obstacles to the DPRD's legislative function and examines optimization strategies through institutional approaches, capacity building of DPRD members, and strengthening community participation. Methods. This research method uses an empirical juridical method with interviews with the head of the legislative section (kabag) and the Chairman of the DPRD. Result. The study's results show that optimizing the DPRD's legislative function can be achieved by planning a more participatory regional legislation program (Prolegda), improving the quality of academic manuscripts, and continuously training legislative members. Conclusion. The DPRD's legislative function has a crucial role in the local government system, especially in forming regional regulations (Perda). However, its implementation still faces various obstacles, such as many Regional Regulations that are not resolved, are not implemented, or overlap with the regulations above, and weak coordination between the DPRD and the Regional Regulations. Implementation. Factors that hinder the implementation of the legislative function include synchronization with central regulations, the readiness of academic manuscripts and draft regional regulations, and limited discussion time.
