Abstract

Stunting is a long-term nutritional disorder that ultimately affects a child's physical and cognitive development. One non-pharmacological intervention to prevent stunting is baby massage, which can stimulate appetite, improve blood circulation, and provide sensory and motor stimulation. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of education about baby massage in increasing mothers' knowledge of stunting prevention. The method used was a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 14 mothers in Gedongan Village, Sukoharjo. The intervention was conducted through socialization, baby massage practice, and the distribution of leaflets. The analysis results showed a significant increase in mothers' knowledge levels after the intervention, with the category of good knowledge rising from 64.3% to 92.9%, while the poor category decreased from 35.7% to 7.1% (p = 0.025). These findings indicate that education about baby massage effectively enhances mothers' understanding of stunting prevention. Therefore, similar educational programs should be integrated into community-based stunting prevention efforts to support optimal child growth.

Abstract

Foot arch deformities are common in school-aged children and may interfere with posture and lower-limb biomechanics if left undetected. Preliminary observations at Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan indicated that several students showed signs of decreased medial longitudinal arch, suggesting the presence of foot arch abnormalities in the school environment. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of a mobile application compared to a conventional goniometer in measuring the Clarke angle. This quantitative research used a cross-sectional design with a population of 150 students aged 8–12 years. A total of 109 children were recruited using nonprobability purposive sampling, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Clarke angle measurements were taken using two instruments: the Quick Angle Physio mobile application and a standard goniometer. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation because the measurement data were not normally distributed. The results showed a strong and significant correlation between the mobile application and the goniometer measurements (r=0.964–0.989, p<0.001). These findings indicate that the mobile application provides accurate measurements comparable to the conventional method. The mobile application may serve as an efficient and practical alternative for Clarke angle assessment, supporting early detection of foot arch abnormalities among school-aged children, particularly in school settings such as Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Muhammadiyah Gonilan.
