Abstract

Stunting is a serious public health problem in Indonesia and reflects chronic malnutrition as well as poor environmental conditions, particularly inadequate sanitation. In the working area of Mejuwet Health Center, Bojonegoro Regency, the prevalence of stunting in 2023 remained above the WHO threshold for high prevalence. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between environmental sanitation conditions and the incidence of stunting among toddlers aged 24–59 months in the area. This research employed a quantitative method with an observational analytic approach and a cross-sectional design. The independent variables consisted of environmental sanitation indicators, while the dependent variable was stunting incidence. The sample included 180 toddlers divided into two groups: 90 cases (stunted toddlers) and 90 controls (non-stunted toddlers). Data were collected through questionnaires, direct observation, and secondary data from the health center. Statistical analysis was conducted using chi-square tests and logistic regression. The Chi-square results demonstrated significant associations between stunting and all environmental sanitation indicators: ownership of healthy latrines (p=0.000), availability of clean water facilities (p=0.001), solid waste disposal facilities (p=0.000), and wastewater disposal facilities (p=0.007). Overall environmental sanitation conditions were significantly associated with stunting (p=0.005). The most dominant variables influencing stunting were healthy latrine ownership and solid waste disposal facilities. In conclusion, all environmental sanitation indicators show significant relationships with stunting among toddlers. Integrated water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions involving improvements in basic infrastructure and promotion of hygienic behavior are necessary to reduce stunting prevalence and create a healthy environment that supports optimal child growth and development.Keywords: stunting; environmental sanitation; toddlers

Abstract

Household waste is predominantly organic, consisting of food scraps, vegetables, and fruits that naturally decompose. However, the decomposition process may lead to environmental and health problems if not properly managed; therefore, appropriate waste management is essential. One method for managing household waste is composting. This study aimed to determine the potential of the bioinoculant BioTP to enhance macronutrient content in household organic waste compost. This research employed an experimental pretest–posttest with control design. Macronutrient levels (N, P, and K) in household organic waste were measured before and after the decomposition process in both the treatment group (with BioTP) and the control group. The data were analyzed using a t-test. The results showed that after decomposition, all macronutrients (N, P, and K) in the treatment group increased. The macronutrient content in all treatments met the standards for organic fertilizer. Statistical analysis before and after decomposition indicated a significant difference in nitrogen (N) levels in both the treatment and control groups (p < 0.05), whereas phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) levels showed no significant differences (p > 0.05). Comparison between the treatment and control groups also revealed no significant differences in N, P, and K levels (p > 0.05). In conclusion, BioTP has the potential to enhance macronutrient content in household organic compost; however, its effect has not yet reached an optimal level.Keywords: household organic waste; decomposition; bioinoculant; macronutrients
