Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a significant challenge in Indonesia, including in Gegerbitung Village, Sukabumi Regency. This study aims to assess the impact of Islamic spiritual-based education on mothers' attitudes toward addressing stunting. The research design employed is a quasi-experimental approach using a one-group pretest-posttest design. The sample consisted of 25 mothers from Gegerbitung Village, selected purposively. Data were collected using a questionnaire that measured mothers' attitudes before and after receiving Islamic spiritual-based education. Data analysis was conducted using paired t-test statistical analysis to assess attitude changes before and after the intervention. The results showed that the average attitude score of mothers toward stunting prevention before the education was 32.32 with a standard deviation of 2.65707, while after the education, it increased to 45.60 with a standard deviation of 1.97906. The paired t-test results showed a p-value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05, indicating a significant effect of the Islamic spiritual-based education on mothers' attitudes toward stunting prevention. This study concludes that Islamic spiritual-based education can improve mothers' attitudes toward addressing stunting, making it an effective strategy in reducing stunting rates in the village.
