Stunting is impaired growth of a child's length or height based on the Length for Age (LA) or Height for Age (HA) index. This index can identify children with short stature (stunted), severely short stature (severely stunted), and normal stature caused by prolonged malnutrition or frequent illness. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal care patterns and maternal knowledge with stunting incidence in Sindang Asih Village, Kujangsari Subdistrict, Langensari District. This quantitative study uses a correlational design to analyze the relationship between independent variables (maternal care patterns and maternal knowledge) and the dependent variable (stunting incidence). The approach used is cross-sectional with a survey method. The population in this study was all mothers with infants aged 6–59 months in Kujangsari Village, Banjar City, with a total sample size of 53. The research results were analyzed using multiple correlation analysis. The results of the multiple correlation analysis showed that the significance value of F change was 0.000 < 0.05. So it can be concluded that the variables Mother's Parenting Pattern (X1) and Mother's Knowledge (X2) have a significant relationship with the Stunting Incidence variable (Y).
