Abstract

This research aims to investigate the association between pregnant women's knowledge regarding anemia and the prevalence of stunting among toddlers in Mandailing Natal district, where stunting rates exceed the provincial average of 25.8% in North Sumatra Province. Utilizing an analytical survey method with a cross-sectional approach, the study population consisted of 40 pregnant women attending the Longat Community Health Center, with total sampling employed as the sampling technique. Data collection involved the use of questionnaires, and analysis was conducted using the chi-square test with a significance level set at p<0.05. The analysis revealed that a majority of pregnant women possessed adequate knowledge regarding anemia and stunting, comprising 21 individuals (52.5%). Statistical tests further indicated a significant relationship between pregnant women's knowledge concerning anemia and the incidence of stunting, particularly based on factors such as age (p=0.046), education (p=0.001), economic status (p=0.013), information sources (p=0.013), and parity (p=0.030). It is recommended that healthcare professionals engage in outreach and counseling initiatives to enhance pregnant women's awareness regarding the repercussions of anemia on both fetal and maternal health.

Abstract

This study aims to delve deeper into the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge of anemia and the incidence of stunting among children at the Panyabungan Jae Community Health Center, located in the Panyabungan District, Mandailing Natal Regency, in 2022. Employing an analytical observational design, the research involved 200 pregnant women as research samples. Data were collected through structured interviews using a questionnaire focusing on pregnant women's knowledge about anemia, while children's nutritional status was assessed to determine the incidence of stunting. Statistical analysis included correlation and regression tests to examine the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge of anemia and the occurrence of stunting in their children. The study results revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between the level of knowledge of pregnant women about anemia and the incidence of stunting in their offspring. Specifically, pregnant women with a better understanding of anemia tended to have children with a reduced risk of stunting. Furthermore, factors such as socioeconomic status, access to health services, and dietary habits were identified as potential influencers in the relationship between pregnant women's knowledge about anemia and stunting. These findings underscore the importance of educating pregnant women about anemia as a fundamental aspect of efforts to mitigate stunting in children. Additionally, enhancing health services at Community Health Centers and raising public awareness about the significance of optimal nutrition during pregnancy are essential strategies to address the issue of stunting in the region effectively.
