Developing a Nutritional Assessment Tool for Toddlers Using Anthropometry and IoT Technology

Data from the Indonesian Toddler Nutrition Status Survey (SSGBI) in 2021, the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still quite high, at 24.4%, which is equivalent to 5.33 million toddlers. This figure is still above the standard tolerated by WHO, which is below 20%. Therefore, efforts are needed to accelerate stunting reduction so that the prevalence of stunting in toddlers decreases to 19.4% by 2024. This research aims to develop a tool for measuring toddlers' height and weight to assess their nutritional status promptly, aiming to preemptively address any nutritional abnormalities and prevent exacerbation. Anthropometry serves as the primary method for assessing toddlers' nutritional status in this study. The tool's design incorporates the ESP32 as the main control unit, the HC-SR04 sensor for height measurements, and the HX711 module and loadcell sensor as weight sensors. Data from the sensor are transmitted from the ESP32 master to the ESP32 slave for processing, culminating in a nutritional status assessment. Notably, the tool boasts a minimal error rate of 0.18% for weight measurement with 99.82% accuracy and a 2.66% error rate for height measurement with 97.34% accuracy. Furthermore, the tool's integration with IoT technology offers additional advantages. It facilitates real-time data transmission and analysis, enabling healthcare professionals to promptly identify any nutritional issues in toddlers. This, in turn, allows for timely intervention and appropriate management strategies to prevent the development or exacerbation of stunting. Overall, the benefits of this research for the Anthropometry Stunting Monitor based on IoT are manifold. It enhances accuracy and efficiency in measuring toddlers' height and weight, enables early detection of stunting, and facilitates timely intervention to address nutritional abnormalities. This holds significant promise for improving pediatric healthcare outcomes and reducing the prevalence of stunting among children.

Improving Understanding In Preventing Stunting In The First 1,000 Days Of Life

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines stunting as a state of very short stature that exceeds a deficit of 2 SD below the median length or population height which is an international reference (Trihono, et al., 2015). Stunting is closely related to the first 1000 days of life (HPK) period. . The 1000 HPK period is an important period or a golden period for growth and development. 1000 HPK starts from pregnancy until the child is 2 years old. 1000 HPK is called the Window of Opportunity because during this period organ systems experience a very rapid increase in growth and development. Based on data from Basic Health Research (Riskesdas), the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia fluctuated, namely in 2007 it was 36.8%, 35.6% (2010), 37.2% (2013), and 30.8% (2018). Based on Riskesdas, the prevalence of stunting in West Sumatra fluctuated, namely in 2007 it was 36.5%, 32.7% (2010), 39.2% (2013), and 29.9% (2018). This community service activity is carried out in Kelurahan Andalas Padang by providing counseling to mothers who have toddlers. This activity was carried out on June 30, 2022.1000 First Day

Factor Analysis of Stunting Toddler Feeding Patterns using Transcultural Nursing Approach

Background: In 2022, prevalence of stunting in Indonesia reach 21.6%. The direct causes of stunting was nutritional intake. The problem of nutritional intake was related to the cultural practices of Indonesian, so this research used a transcultural nursing. Objectives: This study aimed to identify factors influencing feeding patterns in stunting children based on transcultural nursing. Methods: Cluster sampling was used for this cross-sectional with 145 mother-child pairs. The independent variables were maternal education, economics, regulations and policies, cultural values and lifestyle, social and family support, religiosity and philosophy and technology. The dependent variable was feeding pattern. The instrument used was a questionnaire. Spearman Rho (p-value=0.05) was used to analyze the relationship between variables. Results: Economic factors (p=0.031; r=0.250), government policies and norms (p=0.034; r=0.180), cultural and lifestyle values (p=0.001; r=0.540), social support and family (p=0.000; r=0.270), religious and philosophical beliefs (p=0.000; r=0.321), and technological developments (p=0.002; r=0.210) were associated with feeding pattern, no correlation between feeding pattern and mother’s education (p=0.689). Conclusions: Economy, regulation and policy, cultural value and lifestyle, religiosity and philosophy, social support and family, and technology associated stunting child's feeding pattern. Cultural beliefs and lifestyle were the most important factors for stunting children's feeding patterns so it is envisaged that paramedics continue to expand their preventive and persuasive efforts by providing health consultations to moms and families.

Parents' Knowledge and Skills in Feeding, Children's Response to Feeding on the Nutritional Status of Toddlers with Malnutrition Problems

Malnutrition, notably stunting, significantly impacts children's health and development, particularly during the first 1000 days of life. The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is notably high, affecting approximately 30% of children under five in 2019, with Kediri Regency reporting a prevalence rate of 10.23% in 2022. The aim of this research is to analyze the influence of parental knowledge and skills in improving nutritional status as well as children's responses to feeding on the nutritional status of children with malnutrition problems. The research design used in this research is a pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design. The sampling technique was total sampling with respondents in this study being 22 underprivileged families with toddlers who had nutritional problems and stunting in the Gempolan Village area. The problem of malnutrition in toddlers is quite high with an average Z Score of -2.42 (BB/U), -2.46 (TB/U), and -1.53 (BB/TB). Pre-test data on parents' knowledge and ability to fulfill children's nutrition shows that 68% have fairly good knowledge and skills and only 9% have good knowledge and skills. In this study, 50% of respondents had a fairly good response to feeding. The data highlights a significant problem of malnutrition in toddlers, characterized by low Z-Scores indicating undernutrition and growth stunting. These low Z-Scores pose substantial health risks, including compromised growth, weakened immunity, and potential long-term health issues. Parental knowledge and skills in nutrition are crucial, with most parents having reasonable knowledge levels. However, feeding problems persist, contributing to food rejection by children, exacerbating malnutrition.

The Role Of The Young Generation In Stunting Prevention To Create Superior Human Resources In Abang Village, Abang District, Karangasem Regency

Addressing and reducing the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia, supported by the reduction of stunting in various regions throughout the country, is a highly relevant program in achieving Indonesia's vision for 2045 as declared by the President of the Republic of Indonesia. In realizing this vision, the program to reduce the prevalence of stunting in Indonesia becomes highly relevant to achieve this overarching goal. Therefore, all elements of society, in accordance with their respective roles, can contribute to supporting the realization of Indonesia's advanced vision. Hence, studies regarding the condition of stunting in its various dimensions become very important and relevant. The purpose of this Community Engagement activity is to: 1) Analyze the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of young generations in stunting prevention in a rural village; 2) Enhance the role of young generations in stunting prevention in their village. The Community Engagement activity was conducted in Abang Village, Karangasem Regency. This regency was chosen because it has the highest prevalence of stunting among the regencies in Bali Province. The activity involved young people in the village, known as "Sekehe Teruna Teruni," as participants in the event, which provided Communication, Information, and Education (KIE) related to stunting prevention. There were three resource persons for this activity, including an academic, a healthcare professional, and a Family Planning field educator. After the socialization, an evaluation was conducted on the participants, and the results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The analysis revealed the following: 1) About 70% of the participants had heard of the stunting phenomenon, while the remaining 30% had not. Approximately 96% of the participants increased their knowledge about stunting after the KIE, with only about 4% not experiencing an increase in their knowledge. This increase in knowledge influenced their attitudes, making them more willing to participate in stunting prevention through family planning, 2) Data analysis indicated that all participants, 100%, expressed their intent to plan the number of children they would have when they get married according to their economic and other capabilities. Generasi muda berperan penting dalam penurunan/ pencegahan stunting karena generasi muda ini yang akan melahirkan anak-anak nantinya sehingga dapat dijaga kualitas anak yang dilahirkan sehingga stunting dapat dicegah/ diturunkan dengan peran dari generasi muda tersebut.
