Abstract

Stunting remains a major public health challenge that threatens child growth and long-term human development, particularly among vulnerable families. Family-based interventions are essential to address the behavioral and environmental determinants of stunting that occur at the household level. This community service program aimed to strengthen family capacity in preventing stunting among children at risk through family-based home care assistance focusing on nutrition interventions and healthy parenting practices. The program was implemented using a structured and participatory approach consisting of five stages: socialization, training, application of appropriate technology, mentoring and evaluation, and program sustainability. Activities were conducted with families who had children at risk of stunting and were supported by community nurses and health cadres. Training emphasized balanced nutrition, age-appropriate feeding practices, dietary diversity using locally available foods, hygiene and sanitation, healthy parenting, and child growth monitoring. Simple digital educational media and mobile-based communication were used to reinforce learning and facilitate follow-up. Mentoring was carried out through regular home visits to provide individualized guidance and support behavior change. The results showed improvements in caregiver knowledge, feeding practices, healthy parenting behaviors, compliance with child growth monitoring, and utilization of simple technology after program implementation. These findings indicate that family-based home care assistance is a feasible and effective approach to strengthening family capacity for stunting prevention. Integrating nutrition education, healthy parenting support, appropriate technology, and continuous mentoring within community-based services can contribute to sustainable improvements in child nutrition practices and support long-term efforts to reduce stunting at the community level.

Abstract

Malnutrition remains a major public health problem, particularly in communities where families have limited access to nutrition information and health services. Family knowledge and daily dietary practices play a crucial role in determining nutritional status, especially among children and vulnerable household members. This community service program aimed to improve family nutrition through community-based education and assistance implemented at a primary healthcare center in Makassar, Indonesia. The program involved 30 family respondents and used a structured five-stage approach: preparation, baseline assessment, nutrition education, family assistance and mentoring, and monitoring and evaluation. Educational activities focused on balanced nutrition, local food utilization, family meal planning, and food hygiene, supported by practical demonstrations and continuous mentoring. The program's effectiveness was evaluated using pre- and post-test assessments of nutrition knowledge, balanced diet practices, and food hygiene awareness. The results showed consistent improvements across all indicators after the intervention, indicating enhanced understanding and adoption of healthy nutritional behaviors at the household level. These findings demonstrate that integrating structured nutrition education with hands-on assistance can effectively translate knowledge into practice. Overall, the program highlights the importance of family-centered and participatory approaches in addressing community nutrition problems. Community-based family education and assistance represent a feasible and sustainable strategy to strengthen family capacity, promote healthy dietary behaviors, and support nutrition improvement within primary healthcare settings
