Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects physical growth, cognitive development, and the quality of human resources in the future. Limited maternal knowledge regarding stunting prevention and family nutrition management is one of the major risk factors contributing to stunting among children under five. This community service program aimed to improve mothers’ knowledge of stunting prevention and family nutrition education in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra Province. The program employed a participatory-educative approach using a pre-test and post-test design involving 67 mothers of under-five children. The intervention included interactive counseling sessions, visual and digital educational media, practical simulations of preparing nutritious meals, and the empowerment of selected mothers as nutrition information agents. The results indicated a significant increase in participants’ knowledge levels; prior to the intervention, 52.2% of participants were categorized as having low knowledge, while after the intervention, 67.2% were categorized as having good knowledge. In addition to improved knowledge, positive changes in attitudes and motivation were observed, particularly in implementing balanced nutrition practices and routine child health monitoring. These findings suggest that a participatory approach is effective in enhancing maternal nutrition literacy and can serve as a community-based intervention model to support stunting reduction programs at the village level.

Abstract

Stunting and motor development disorders are crucial global health issues for human resource quality, where Indonesia's national stunting prevalence still reached 21.5% in 2023. At the local level, a preliminary survey at Bangun Rejo Village indicated that 50% of mothers ignored the crawling phase due to a lack of literacy regarding the importance of gross motor stimulation. Background: The need for structured interventions such as prone kneeling stimulation is an important variable to be studied to accelerate the functional maturity of muscles and nerves during the golden period of infant growth. Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of prone kneeling stimulation on infants' crawling ability at Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District in 2025. Methods: The research design used a quasi-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design on a sample of 43 infants selected through total sampling technique. Data were collected through direct observation using the Crawling Guideline Australia guide sheet during the period of January–March 2025 and analyzed using the Chi-Square test at a 95% confidence level. Results: The research findings showed that the majority of respondents were aged 8–9 months (58.1%) and female (51.2%). Bivariate analysis revealed that infants given stimulation had a crawling success rate of 86.4%, while the group without stimulation only reached 38.1%. Statistical tests showed a p-value = 0.001, which means there is a significant relationship between prone kneeling stimulation and crawling ability. Conclusion: Prone kneeling intervention is proven effective in facilitating infants' gross motor development; therefore, it is suggested for health facilities to integrate this stimulation technique into routine educational programs for parents..
