The Influence Of Training On The Precision And Accuracy Of Upper Arm Circumference Measurements By Posyandu Cadres

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem characterized by a short body (stunted). Health education is held as a learning effort to improve the Posyandu cadres’ knowledge of stunting prevention. The Posyandu cadres’ role is vital to the early prevention of stunting. This study aimed to figure out the influence of health education on Posyandu cadres’ knowledge of stunting prevention in Keniten urban village, Ponorogo. The Posyandu in Keniten Ponorogo Village is divided into seven areas. The research was conducted using a quantitative type with a cross sectional time approach. The total population is 35 Posyandu cadres for toddlers, where each Posyandu consists of five Posyandu cadres. Before being given education about stunting prevention, a pre-test was carried out to posyandu cadres. Health education is carried out using lecture and discussion methods, then at the end of the activity a post test is given. The result showed a significant improvement in the cadres’ knowledge level before and after giving health education with an average score of 81 increased to 90. The statistical test result showed a p-value of 0.005 (≤0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on Posyandu cadres’ knowledge level of stunting prevention in Keniten urban village. The improvement on posyandu cadres’ knowledge of stunting prevention level happens due to health education. Providing information on stunting prevention or conducting training regularly by the Community Health Center to the Posyandu cadres to improve their knowledge to be better.

Posyandu represents a fundamental healthcare initiative established and supported by community health personnel. This research goal to see level of knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres before and after intensivementoring.

Introduction: High-risk pregnancies are a major cause of maternal morbidity and mortality, both on a global and national scale. Tuminting Public Health Center, which is a partner in the Community Partnership Empowerment activities, has a significant number of patients with high-risk pregnancies. This indicates an urgent need for the care of high-risk pregnant women. Pregnant women with high-risk pregnancies require priority and continuous care, including early screening/detection, monitoring, and support. However, a situation analysis at the partner site has identified several issues, including: 1) Posyandu cadres are not actively involved in supporting high-risk pregnant women, resulting in these women not receiving appropriate healthcare for their pregnancy conditions. 2) Health promotion media for high-risk pregnant women is limited, preventing these women from receiving accurate health information tailored to their condition. The objectives of these activities are to enhance the role of cadres in supporting high-risk pregnant women and to improve the availability of health promotion media as a support tool for cadres in their role. Methods: To address these issues, the proposers offer the following solutions: 1) Training on early detection, monitoring, and support for posyandu cadres using a psychoeducational approach.2) Training on the use of digital media for health promotion for high-risk pregnant women for cadres. Results: This training was attended by 37 cadres at Tuminting Public Health Center. Participants' knowledge levels were evaluated before and after the activity. The evaluation of these activities showed a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there was a difference in the knowledge of the training participants before and after the training. Conclusion: Training activities with a psychoeducational approach can improve the knowledge of cadres, enabling them to enhance their role in early detection and support for high-risk pregnant women.

Stunting is a chronic malnutrition problem caused by inadequate nutritional intake for a long time. There are around 8-10 children under the stunting category in Meunasah Intan Village, Aceh Besar District. The actions taken by Integrated Healthcare Center (posyandu) cadres are providing counseling about feeding, motor stimulation, and working together with nutrition workers at the puskesmas. This study uses a pre-experimental design type one group pretest-posttest design. The population is Posyandu cadres, Gampong Meunasah Intan, Kuta Baro District, Aceh Besar Regency with 14 cadres. Based on the results of the counseling, it is known that the average level of knowledge of cadres before being given counseling is 9.64 and after being given counseling is 11.50. The level of knowledge of cadres before and after being given counseling experienced a significant increase, namely 0.00 < 0.05. So, it can be concluded that there are differences in the level of knowledge of cadres about stunting prevention before and after being given counseling. This shows that this change is sufficient to improve the knowledge of posyandu cadres about stunting to be used as capital in carrying out monitoring activities for growth and nutritional status at the posyandu, as well as being able to provide counseling to families of children under five who are at risk or experiencing stunting.

Background:Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive due to chronic malnutrition that occurs in toddlers. Posyandu is an intervention facility for a specific nutrition program carried out by the Ministry of Health.

The research results were analyzed and interpreted using the SPSS Windows release version 2.1 computer program.Results:The results of this study prove that giving incentives to posyandu cadres in the Pagelaran Health Center work area has no effect on cadre performance with a significance value of 0.98 and giving incentives to posyandu cadres in the Gedangan Health Center work area has no effect on cadre performance with a significance value of 0.657.Conclusion:It can be concluded that the provision of incentives has no direct effect on the performance of posyandu cadres in the work area of Pagelaran Health Center and Gedangan Health Center.

INCREASİNG KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PMT FOR POSYANDU CADRE İN SENDANGSARİ VİLLAGE AS AN EFFORT TO PREVENT STUNTİNG THROUGH SELF HELP GROUP (SHG). The sustainable development goal in 2030 is to eliminate nutritional problems, one of which is by accelerating stunting. Posyandu cadres play an important role in the success of stunting in the community. The purpose of this community service activity is to increase the knowledge of toddler Posyandu cadres about providing additional food as an effort to prevent stunting in the Sendangsari Village. The method of activities carried out to increase the knowledge of posyandu cadres is a self help group with the topic of stunting and complementary feeding for toddlers. Data analysis uses frequency distribution and percentages to describe the level of knowledge of posyandu cadres. The results of community service activities carried out by the community service team showed the level of knowledge about stunting before an average of 97% increased to 100%. Meanwhile, the level of knowledge about supplementary feeding before 75% (n=31) was in a good category, increasing to 100% (n=41) in the good category. Conclusion Self help groups can increase the knowledge of posyandu cadres. Good knowledge will affect a person's behavior. Knowledge of posyandu cadres must always be increased to prevent or overcome stunting. Posyandu cadres become extensions of health workers to be able to reach the community in community health development.

In Indonesia, Posyandu cadres play an essential role as agents of change in reducing maternal and infant mortality rates. This study aimed to analyze the motivation and rewards toward the activity of Posyandu cadres. The research design was cross-sectional, with the independent variables being the motivation and rewards of cadres and the dependent variable was the activity of Posyandu cadres. Collecting data used questionnaires and interviews and the data analysis used univariate and bivariate. The results of the study inform that most Posyandu cadres were not active in Posyandu activities and most of cadres have moderate motivation and insufficient rewards. This was caused by demographic factors, lack of rewards or incentives received, inadequate infrastructure, and lack of attention from the government and the community. Furthermore, there is an influence of motivation and rewards received by cadres toward the activity of Posyandu cadres. High motivation and adequate rewards will spur Posyandu cadres to increase their activities. Therefore, it is important to enhance the motivation and rewards by developing several strategies to increase the Posyandu cadre’s activity.
