Abstract

Stunting remains a significant public health problem in Indonesia, while interventions to improve maternal self-efficacy are urgently needed. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of mindfulness interventions on maternal self-efficacy in mothers with stunting and non-stunting toddlers. This study adopted a quasi-experimental design to explore the impact of a mindfulness intervention on two groups of mothers: mothers of stunted (n=15) and non-stunted (n=15) children. The structured intervention involved mindfulness sessions that included guided relaxation and mindful parenting practices. Data collection was conducted using a validated self-efficacy questionnaire. Statistical analysis included Shapiro-Wilk normality testing and paired t-tests to evaluate differences in pre- and post-intervention scores, as well as Pearson correlation analysis to understand the relationship between pre- and post-intervention scores. The analysis showed that the stunting group had larger families, which could indicate an imbalanced allocation of nutritional resources. Meanwhile, the t-test results showed a significant increase in maternal self-efficacy scores from the stunting group after the mindfulness intervention, from 104.87 (SD = 14.16) to 111.47 (SD = 12.81), with a p-value of 0.011. The study concluded that the mindfulness intervention can serve as an effective support strategy in childcare programs to address stunting issues.

Abstract

Stunting is a nutritional problem that affects children's growth and development. Various risk factors, including education, diet, and maternal health, contribute to stunting prevention. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing stunting, focusing on adolescent girls as a vulnerable group. This study used a quantitative analytical approach with a cross-sectional design, conducted in Tabukan District, Barito Kuala Regency, from March to September 2025. The sample consisted of 77 adolescent girls aged 10 to 14 years old, selected based on inclusion criteria. Data were collected through a questionnaire covering knowledge and stunting prevention behaviors, hemoglobin levels, Body Mass Index (BMI), and Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify significant relationships between variables. The results showed Significant relationships were found between knowledge and parenting patterns (p=0.000), physical activity (p=0.031), and diet (p=0.017). Hemoglobin levels were significantly associated with adherence to iron supplementation (IBT) consumption (p=0.000). In Conclusion, Adolescents' lack of knowledge about stunting prevention impacts their parenting, diet, and health. The poor distribution of parenting patterns and low adherence to iron supplementation indicate the need for nutrition education-based interventions.
