Abstract

The pregnancy period is a crucial time for ensuring the health of the mother and fetus through the provision of balanced nutrition. However, nutritional issues such as anemia and chronic energy deficiency (CED) are still commonly found among pregnant women. The use of local nutritious foods, such as moringa leaves (Moringa oleifera), can be a potential solution to support nutritional needs. This community service activity aims to improve the knowledge and skills of pregnant women in preparing healthy menus and balanced eating patterns using moringa leaves. The activity was carried out through interactive lectures, coaching on menu preparation, cooking demonstrations of moringa leaf dishes, and evaluation through pre-tests and post-tests. The participants were pregnant women in the working area of the Wara Selatan Health Center in Palopo City, totaling 25 people. The results showed an increase in participants' nutritional knowledge, with an average pre-test score of 55 rising to 82 in the post-test. Participants were also able to prepare a balanced daily menu based on moringa leaves and produce several processed products, including moringa soup, moringa fritters, and moringa pudding. It can be concluded that the healthy menu coaching activity using local moringa leaves effectively improves the knowledge and skills of pregnant women regarding balanced nutrition. The use of local foods such as moringa leaves has the potential to support the improvement of maternal nutritional status in a simple, economical, and sustainable manner.

Abstract

Background: Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time and is often associated with an inadequate diet. This condition has a serious impact on the physical growth, cognitive development, and productivity of children in the future. Objective: This study aims to determine the relationship between diet and nutritional status and the incidence of stunting in children aged 2–5 years in the working area of the Mawasangka Health Center. Methods: This study used a cross sectional design with a sample of 80 children aged 2–5 years who were selected by purposive sampling. It will be held in November 2025. Data were collected using dietary questionnaires, anthropometric measurements (weight, height), and maternal interviews. Data analysis was carried out by Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that there was a significant relationship between diet and stunting incidence (p=0.001) and between nutritional status and stunting incidence (p=0.003). Children with an unbalanced diet are 3.5 times more likely to experience stunting than children with a good diet. Conclusion: Diet and nutritional status have a significant relationship with stunting events. Efforts are needed to improve balanced nutrition education for families to reduce stunting rates in the work area of the Mawasangka Health Center
