Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that can hinder children’s growth and development. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, dietary diversity, and parenting practices and the prevalence of stunting among toddlers in the service area of the Penana’e Community Health Center. This study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample size for this study was 78 toddlers selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected via questionnaires and anthropometric measurements, then analyzed using the Chi-Square test and Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that 38 toddlers (48.7%) were classified as stunted, while 40 toddlers (51.3%) were not stunted. The majority of respondents had a history of insufficient exclusive breastfeeding (57.7%), insufficient dietary diversity (53.8%), and parenting practices classified as good (94.9%). The results of the analysis show that exclusive breastfeeding is not significantly associated with the incidence of stunting, with a p-value of 0.672. Similarly, dietary diversity does not show a significant association with the incidence of stunting, with a p-value of 0.807, and parenting practices are also not significantly associated with the incidence of stunting, with a p-value of 0.352. Thus, it can be concluded that exclusive breastfeeding, dietary diversity, and parenting practices do not have a statistically significant association with the incidence of stunting in toddlers.

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem among toddlers, characterized by impaired height-for-age growth. The occurrence of stunting can be influenced by various factors, including the quality of care, adequate nutritional intake, and the family’s socioeconomic status. This study aims to determine the relationship between parenting practices, nutritional intake, and socioeconomic status with the prevalence of stunting among children aged 24–59 months in the service area of the Penanae Community Health Center, Bima City. This study employed a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design and a cross-sectional method. The sample consisted of 78 toddlers selected using simple random sampling, comprising 39 toddlers in the stunting group and 39 toddlers in the non-stunting group. Data were collected through interviews using a questionnaire on parenting practices and socioeconomic status, nutritional intake measurements using the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and height measurements based on the height-for-age (H/A) indicator. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and logistic regression. The results showed an association between parenting practices (p<0.001), nutritional intake (p=0.002), and socioeconomic status (p=0.042) and the incidence of stunting. Multivariate analysis showed that parenting practices were the most influential factor on the incidence of stunting, with an OR of 6.318 (95% CI: 2.104–18.973; p=0.001) Based on the research findings, improving the quality of child-rearing practices, meeting nutritional needs, and providing support for families’ economic conditions should be considered as measures to prevent stunting in toddlers.
