Abstract

Stunting is a serious health problem that is still high in Indonesia, with a prevalence reaching 27.6% in 2021. This condition is caused by chronic malnutrition and repeated infections that affect children's physical, cognitive, and motor growth. The Supplementary Feeding Program (PMT) has been implemented as one of the interventions to improve the nutritional status of toddlers and reduce stunting rates. Studies show that PMT based on fortification and local food can significantly increase children's weight and height. However, the effectiveness of this program still faces various challenges, including limited resources, coordination between stakeholders, and social and cultural factors that influence the acceptance of the program in the community. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method to evaluate the effectiveness of PMT in reducing stunting rates. The results show that the success of the program is highly dependent on nutrition education, the quality of additional food, and the involvement of health workers and the community. To increase the effectiveness of PMT, budget optimization, health worker training, and adaptive strategies based on local needs are needed. With a more comprehensive approach, this program is expected to run more optimally, reduce stunting rates, and improve the quality of life of children in Indonesia in a sustainable manner

Abstract

Balanced food consumption patterns are one of the important factors in supporting the growth and development of elementary school children. However, various studies show that school-age children still face challenges in implementing healthy eating patterns, which are influenced by low nutritional awareness, limited access to nutritious food, and the influence of the school and social environment. This study uses a qualitative approach with a literature study method that aims to examine various scientific findings related to factors that influence elementary school children's food consumption and effective intervention strategies. Data sources were collected from relevant national and international scientific journals in the last five to ten years. The results of the study show that low nutritional education in schools and families, as well as the dominance of unhealthy foods in school canteens, are the main causes of unbalanced consumption patterns. Educational and collaborative strategies are needed that involve the roles of schools, parents, government, and the community to shape children's healthy eating behavior in a sustainable manner. This study is expected to be a conceptual reference for designing nutrition education programs and healthy food policies in elementary education environments.

Abstract

The increase in cases of non-communicable diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and diabetes shows the need for an education-based preventive approach, especially through nutrition education. This study aims to examine the role of nutrition education in increasing public awareness of healthy lifestyles through a qualitative approach with a literature study method. Data sources were obtained from 20 national and international scientific journals and publications over the past five years. The results of the study show that nutrition education has a significant impact on increasing public knowledge and attitudes towards the importance of consuming healthy foods. Interventions carried out through schools, social media, health services, and educational curricula have been shown to be able to shape better eating awareness and behavior. However, the effectiveness of nutrition education is greatly influenced by the delivery method, program consistency, and active community and cross-sector involvement. Challenges such as low nutritional literacy, limited experts, and the spread of misinformation in digital media are still major obstacles. Therefore, a contextual, participatory, and sustainable education strategy is needed so that nutrition education is not only an information tool, but also a means of social transformation to create a healthier society. These findings are expected to be the basis for formulating nutrition policies and intervention programs in the future.

Abstract

The problem of malnutrition in children under five in rural areas remains a complex public health challenge, influenced by low nutritional literacy, limited health infrastructure, family economic conditions, and suboptimal government intervention. This study used a qualitative literature review method, with purposive sampling of national journal articles and health institution reports over the past five years. Content analysis was conducted to identify strategies for nutrition education, utilization of local foods, community-based approaches, and multi-sector synergy. The results of the study indicate that nutrition education for mothers of toddlers plays a key role in improving understanding and practice of breastfeeding and complementary feeding. In addition, strengthening integrated health posts, empowering family economies, and utilizing local foods such as sweet potatoes and moringa leaves increase nutritional resilience. Participatory intervention strategies—involving cadres, local figures, and ongoing monitoring mechanisms—show higher effectiveness than top-down models. Cross-sector collaboration strengthens program implementation and ensures sustainability. Overall, the best strategies to overcome malnutrition are holistic, contextual, and sustainable. This study recommends strengthening community-based approaches, routine monitoring at the village level, and policies that support integration between nutrition education, local foods, and family economic empowerment.

Abstract

This study is a qualitative review based on literature studies on strategies for overcoming malnutrition in children under five in rural areas. Through data collection from journals, reports, and policy documents published in 2020–2025, a thematic analysis was conducted to identify root causes, good practices, and intervention gaps. The findings show that malnutrition in children under five in rural areas is triggered by poverty and low family food security, minimal nutritional literacy among parents, and limited infrastructure and primary health services. Effective strategies revealed include community-based nutrition education, utilization of local foods, cross-sector interventions, and culturally sensitive communication utilizing local figures and local media. The involvement of health cadres, community leaders, and family economic empowerment has been shown to increase program sustainability. This study recommends a holistic policy that integrates education, economic empowerment, strengthening health services, and local cultural adaptation to reduce the prevalence of malnutrition in children under five in villages. The main contribution of this study is the development of a strategic framework based on evidence and local context that can be used as a reference for policy makers and public health practitioners.
