Abstract

Stunting is a global health issue affecting children’s growth and development, particularly in areas with limited access to adequate nutrition. This community service program aims to strengthen community groups in Nagari Situjuah Ladang Laweh in processing and utilizing local supplementary feeding (PMT) to prevent stunting related to the local PMT program currently being implemented by the government. The activity method used is training and mentoring in processing PMT based on local resources carried out by students of the Community Service Program (KKN) of Andalas University (Unand) in 2024 with a focus on community empowerment. The activity stages include identifying local food potential, technical training in PMT processing, and establishing working groups for distribution and monitoring of PMT consumption. This program also includes education on the importance of nutrition for children and monitoring child development to evaluate the effectiveness of PMT in reducing the risk of stunting. The results of the activity show an increase in the capacity of community groups in optimally utilizing local food ingredients, increased knowledge about nutrition and stunting, and changes in healthier food consumption patterns. The conclusion that can be drawn from this community service activity is an increase in community knowledge and skills, especially regarding the processing of local food as PMT. With a local approach, this program is expected to make a significant contribution to stunting prevention in the area.

Abstract

Malnutrition is a nutritional problem determined based on anthropometric indicators of body weight according to height or body length (BW / TB) with a z-score of <-3 SD and the presence or absence of edema. There are many problems with malnutrition in poor and developing countries such as Indonesia. Based on the 2015 Indonesian Health Profile, as many as 26,518 toddlers suffer from malnutrition, with a prevalence of 3.8% malnutrition in Indonesia. The current management of nutrition problems cannot only be handled by the government but requires the involvement and support of other stakeholders, such as elements of higher education. This activity aims to increase the knowledge of doctors and officers who work in Puskesmas throughout Tanah Datar Regency in overcoming malnutrition. The method used is training (capacity building). The training was given to Puskesmas stakeholders on efforts to improve children's nutritional status through mothers under five classes, measuring the nutritional status of children attending posyandu, providing nutrition education for mothers under five through mothers under five classes, and monitoring nutritional and nutritional intake of children under five. The main targets in implementing this activity are doctors, nutrition officers, and MCH officers in all puskesmas in Tanah Datar District. This activity is expected to increase health workers' knowledge in overcoming stunting in the Tanah Datar district. There was an increase in health workers' knowledge with an average pre-test score of 8.9, increasing to 9.3 in the post-test. With this activity, it is hoped that it can reduce malnutrition and mortality in children starting from the Tanah Datar district's scope.
