EFEKTIVITAS VIDEO KESEHATAN TERHADAP PENGETAHUAN DAN SIKAP IBU TENTANG STUNTING DI WILAYAH KERJA PUSKESMAS BANGEKO KANAN

Stunting is a major threat to human quality, as well as a threat to the nation's competitive ability (Ministry of Health, 2018). Because stunting will result in children's intelligence levels not being optimal, making children more vulnerable to disease and in the future could be at risk of decreasing productivity levels. Efforts to prevent stunting should start from the beginning of pregnancy to reduce the risk of stunting in children. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of health videos on mothers' knowledge and attitudes about stunting in the Bangko Kanan Community Health Center Work Area. This research method uses a quasi experimental design. The population used in this research was pregnant women with a sample size of 82 people. The researchers' results were based on the Wilcoxon test with asymp values. The knowledge sig is 0.00 and the attitude is 0.01 (<0.05), meaning that the health video has an impact on increasing mothers' knowledge and attitudes about stunting in the Bangko Kanan Community Health Center working area. It is hoped that the research can become a reference for health workers in providing health promotion to increase knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women about stunting

The Influence of Feeding Practice on the Risk of Stunting in Toddler: A Scoping Review

Child stunting is a serious case that is difficult to overcome because it is caused by poor food quality and the amount of food that does not meet the body's needs during the first two years of life. The purpose of this study is to review the influence of feeding practices and feeding methods on the risk of stunting in children under five. PRISMA-ScR reporting guidelines are used to identify key concepts and knowledge gaps. This scoping review used a five-step framework approach. The databases used were PubMed, Wiley Online Library, ScienceDirect, and EBSCO. Manual searches used the Research Rabbit search engine. Based on the search results of 979 articles, ten articles were found that matched the inclusion criteria. Out of the seven themes found, four were in line with WHO's complementary feeding indicators, namely Minimum Meal Frequency (MMF), Minimum Dietary Diversity (MDD), Minimum Acceptable Diet (MAD), and Introduction of Solid, Semi-Solid or Soft Foods (ISSSF). While the other three themes are a time of first feeding, breastfeeding practices, and feeding methods. Overall, inadequate feeding practices result in child malnutrition, including stunting. Improper nutrition and care during the first 1000 days of birth is detrimental to a child's life, both in the short and long term as malnutrition that occurs at this early stage of life has serious and irreversible consequences. Large-scale studies are recommended to explore the role of IYCF in reducing stunting and qualitative studies to determine barriers and drivers to improve infant and young child feeding practices.

Counseling Regarding Stunting Prevention in Toddlers

Stunting is a serious challenge because it can hinder a child's growth and development. This condition is triggered by malnutrition, repeated infections, and lack of adequate psychosocial stimulation, and is characterized by the child's height being below the appropriate standard. The main causes of stunting are poor parenting patterns, unhealthy eating patterns for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, lack of nutritional and protein intake, and children's high vulnerability to disease. This community service activity was carried out in Sidoharjo Village – I Pasar Miring, Pagar Merbau District, Deli Serdang Regency with a total of 26 participants. The aim of this activity is to provide education regarding stunting prevention in Sidoharjo Village – I Pasar Miring. The main target of this counseling is mothers who have children under five. Implementation of this activity involves collaboration with village officials and village midwives. The method used was presentation of material through lectures and giving leaflets. The material presented includes the concept of stunting, its causes, symptoms, and how to prevent it, including information regarding the contents of my plate. The results of this activity show an increase in participants' understanding of stunting, its causes, symptoms and how to prevent it. In addition, there is increased awareness in dealing with the symptoms of stunting, with the hope of reducing the risk of stunting in children. It is hoped that in the future, activities like this will continue to be carried out so that stunting in toddlers can be avoided.

Predicting stunting in Rwanda using artificial neural networks: a demographic health survey 2020 analysis

Background Stunting is a serious public health concern in Rwanda, affecting around 33.3% of children under the age of five in 2020. Several examples of research have employed machine learning algorithms to predict stunting in Rwanda; however, no study used artificial neural networks (ANNs), despite their strong capacity to predict stunting. The purpose of this study was to predict stunting in Rwanda using ANNs and the most recent Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data from 2020. Methods We used a multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture to train and test the ANN model on a subset of the DHS dataset. The input variables for the model included child, parental and socio-demographic’s characteristics. The output variable was a binary indicator of stunting status (stunted vs. not stunted). Results An overall accuracy of 72.0% on the test set was observed, with an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC-ROC) of 0.84, indicating the model’s good performance. Several factors appear as important contributors to the probability of stunting among the negative value aspects. First and foremost, the mother’s height is important, as a lower height suggests an increased risk of stunting in children. Positive value characteristics, on the other hand, emphasie elements that reduce the likelihood of stunting. The timing of the initiation of breastfeeding stands out as a crucial factor, showing that early breastfeeding initiation has been linked with a decreased risk of stunting. Conclusions Our findings suggest that ANNs can be a useful tool for predicting stunting in Rwanda and identifying the most important associated factors for stunting. These insights can inform targeted interventions to reduce the burden of stunting in Rwanda and other low- and middle-income countries.

Nutritional status of pregnant women and its impact on child stunting incidence in Indonesia: Literature review

The aim of this research is to determine the relationship between the nutritional status of pregnant women and the incidence of stunting in children in Indonesia based on a review of several related studies. The research method used is a literature review by searching for research articles related to the topic of stunting and nutrition of pregnant women in Indonesia in the last 10 years from online databases. Relevant articles were collected and analyzed systematically. Several studies show that pregnant women with poor nutritional intake and status are at risk of giving birth to babies with stunting and low birth weight. Other factors such as diet, personal hygiene and infections also influence the nutritional status of pregnant women. Poor nutritional status of pregnant women contributes significantly to the risk of stunting in children. Optimizing the nutrition of pregnant women through supplementation, education and increasing access to nutritious food is important as an effort to prevent stunting from an early age.

Spatial Analysis of Drought Vulnerability Related to Climate Change and Under Five Children’s Nutritional Status

Drought vulnerability which more prevalent due to climate change reduce public health quality. This research aims to map areas that are vulnerable to drought and correlate them with under five children nutritional status. This was a cross-sectional study using spatial analysis in Borobudur District. Drought vulnerabilities were overlayed using three drought-prone indicators of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI), and Land Surface Temperature (LST). The spatial analysis found 8 villages (40%) had high, 6 villages (30%) had medium, and 6 villages (30%) had low drought vulnerability. Stunting prevalence derived from the routine community-based nutritional surveillance of the Magelang District Health Office. Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to assess the risk of stunting among different level of spatial indicators related to drought. The average prevalence of stunting was higher in the areas with high (12.57%), compared to medium (8.93%), and low (8.73%) drought vulnerability, but not statistically significant (F=1.763; p>0.05). Stunting was significantly related to water availability (NDWI). A lower NDWI index increased the risk of stunting in children (F=4.620; p<0.05). NDWI spatial analysis can be used as a reference to support preventive efforts to mitigate drought and the nutritional status of children in rural areas.

Sosialisasi Bahaya Pernikahan Dini Dalam Upaya Penurunan Angka Stunting Di Desa Arul Relem Kecamatan Bies Kabupaten Aceh Tengah

Stunting is a condition where a person's height is less than normal according to gender and age. This is due to the pattern of intake given to children starting from the first 1000 days of a child's life from birth so that children are shorter compared to children their age. Several factors that can influence stunting include infectious diseases, exclusive breastfeeding, early initiation of breastfeeding. At the time of early marriage, teenage women are psychologically not ready to become mothers. The lack of understanding of what stunting is and the dangers of stunting is what causes early marriage. This research aims to find out whether teenagers in Arul Relem Village, Bies District, Central Aceh Regency already know about the impact of early marriage on the risk of stunting in children. The research method used was a questionnaire with a pre-test and post-test and the data obtained could then be processed by calculating the average number of respondents who understood the material about early marriage and stunting before and after the socialization. The research results obtained after conducting outreach regarding the dangers of early marriage and stunting were 98%, which previously only reached 60%. From the average results of this calculation, it is very significant before the socialization is carried out and after the socialization is carried out.

Risk of Stunting in Children: Links to Internal and Social Family Interactions in Central Buton District (a Case Study)

With a high prevalence of stunting in children in the Central Buton District. This study aims to explore the relationship between internal family dynamics and external social relationships affecting children's nutrition. The study was based on the hypothesis that more frequent and qualitative family interactions and involvement in social activities would correlate with a lower risk of stunting. This study used a cross-sectional study design. Analyzing secondary data from the 2021 Family Data Collection (PK21). The study included 6,586 target families as a sample, the analysis included family dynamics as an exposure variable and used the family happiness index formula to identify family interaction and social interaction. The study used logistic regression from Scikit-learn to evaluate the data in the final stage. Data analysis revealed that internal family interactions, although important, showed no statistically significant association with stunting risk (p=0.3699). However, social interaction had a highly significant association with reduced risk of stunting, with a regression coefficient of -1.9934 and Odds Ratio (AOR) of 0.1362 (95% CI: 0.0739 - 0.2510, p<0.0001) in logistic regression analysis. These findings confirm that strong social engagement and community support are key factors in reducing the prevalence of stunting among children in the Mawasangka sub-district. This study concludes that engagement in community social activities has a significant impact on reducing the risk of stunting in children. The findings suggest that interventions aimed at reducing stunting should go beyond intra-family interventions and include increased social interaction and community support to achieve optimal outcomes in stunting prevention.

Pemantauan dan Deteksi Dini Risiko Anemia pada Ibu Hamil dan Stunting Balita melalui Pemeriksaan Antropometri di Puskesmas Kuranji Kota Padang

Stunting and anaemia in pregnant women are global conditions that are interrelated with the risk of declining health status in children and pregnant women. Anaemia in pregnant women poses a risk of stunting in children, impacting growth and development, brain function, immune system, and learning abilities. For this reason, the purpose of community service is to detect the early risk of stunting in children and anaemia in pregnant women. The method used is an anthropometric examination of toddlers and pregnant women using weight, height, upper arm circumference, and haemoglobin examination to detect the risk of stunting and anaemia. Inspection and measurement data were processed using KMS online and SPSS and presented descriptively in frequency distribution tables and central tendency values. This activity was carried out at the Durian Tiga Batang Posyandu, Kuranji Health Center, Padang City, on 10 August 2023. Data was collected on 50 infants/toddlers and nine pregnant women who visited the Posyandu. The examination revealed that 48% of infants and toddlers were at risk of stunting (short and very short stature), and 11.1% of pregnant women had anaemia. Thus, early detection of stunting through the online KMS application facilitates data interpretation so that it can provide information quickly and recommend further treatment to mothers to achieve ideal child height growth. In addition, early detection of anaemia can prevent stunting in children.

Potential risk of stunting in children under five years living by the riverside: A systematic review

Introduction: Stunting, or linear growth failure, is defined by a height-for-age z-score of below -2SD according to WHO growth standard. Stunting can have short-, medium-, and long-term consequences. Rivers have an important role in human life. In several riverside areas, households still depend on the river for their livelihoods and health. This study aimed to explore the prevalence of stunting in children living by the riverside and its related factors. Methods: Epidemiological studies published from PUBMED, MEDLINE via EBSCOHost, Science Direct, ProQuest, and Research Gate databases were systematically searched. The publication period was not restricted. Only open-access and English articles were examined. Results: A total of 20 from 1200 studies were reviewed. The prevalence of stunting ranged from 20% to 48.3%. The other outcomes besides stunting were wasting and underweight status. There were 83 risk factors studied, and the most studied variables were age, gender, diarrhoea, water source, parent’s education, immunisation, and inappropriate complementary feeding practices (6 to 13 studies). Household water sources from rivers and economic status were consistently correlated with stunting. Majority of the risk factors studied were related to nutrition. From the environmental aspect, the most studied risk factors were water sources and sanitation. Conclusion: Children living by the riverside face a significant risk of stunting attributed to the consistent correlation between household water sources from rivers and economic status, affecting various aspects of daily life beyond drinking water. Future research is needed to examine the impact of environmental factors and the behaviours of riverside communities.

OPTIMIZING FAMILY RESILIENCE TO PREVENT STUNTING DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

The Covid-19 pandemic has drastically changed the order of our lives in various aspects. One of the significant impacts is the increased risk of stunting in children. Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive caused by malnutrition and lack of nutrients over a long period of time. Children who are stunted have a shorter height than other children of their age and tend to experience delays in physical and mental development. Stunting can have a long-term impact on a child's quality of life, including problems with health, education and future productivity. Family resilience has a central role in preventing stunting in children. In the COVID-19 pandemic situation, an appropriate strategy is needed to reduce the occurrence of stunting, especially in CIjujung village, Sukaraja sub-district, Bogor Regency. The strategies are increasing access to nutritious food and providing training on how to generate additional income so that fulfillment of nutritious food can still be carried out, education on nutrition, good sanitation, routine health checks, exclusive breastfeeding and social support can help families prevent stunting in pandemic period. Thus, the role of the family in providing adequate nutrition and supporting the growth and development of children is very important in maintaining a healthy and strong generation in the future.

Description of Birth Distance Related to the Risk of Stunting in Children At Dharma Women's Kindergarten Dukuh II, Ngaduluwih District

Stunting is a condition where a toddler experiences long-term failure to thrive due to malnutrition. The prevalence of stunting according to WHO in 2018, Indonesia is the third country with the highest average prevalence of stunting in the Southeast Asia/South-East Asia Regional (SEAR). The prevalence of stunting in East Java continues to decrease, but this has not reached the target set by the WHO of 20% and is still a major problem that occurs in toddlers. The incidence of stunting can be seen from two sides, namely toddlers and mothers. One of the risk factors from the mother's point of view is birth spacing. The purpose of this study was to get an overview of birth spacing related to the risk of stunting in Dharma Wanita Dukuh II Kindergarten, Ngadiluwih District. This type of research is descriptive and quantitative. The population in this study were all mothers with children under five who were in Kindergarten Dharma Wanita Dukuh II, Ngadiluwih District. The instrument used is a questionnaire. A univariate data analysis was performed to determine the frequency and percentage of research variables. The results of the study showed that the most common birth spacing was in the 2 year category with 24 respondents (68.6%). It is hoped that mothers who have a large number of children with close birth spacing can improve their parenting, not only in terms of nutritional needs but also the psychological needs of the child. The community must also begin to regulate birth spacing, considering this will affect the nutritional status of children, which can lead to stunting. In addition, there is a need to increase counseling related to birth spacing by medical personnel as a form of effort to prevent stunting.

Sosialisasi Rumah Kardus (Ruang Ramah Kreasi Daur Ulang Sampah) di Dusun Ngronggo Kelurahan Kumpulrejo: Dampak Sampah dalam Resiko Stunting pada Anak

Stunting is a condition where a child experiences failure during his growth period in the womb until the age of 2 years, and also related to nutritional problems in children under five which require more attention from the government and society. Apart from nutritional problems, environmental sanitation also contributes to the risk of stunting in children. Therefore, seeing from the condition of the surrounding environment that there is a Final Disposal Site (TPA) in the activities of the Community Service Group in Integrated Environmental Learning (PLT) in the Kumpulrejo Village, precisely in the KB Dusun Ngronggo Village, the aim is to carry out socialization on how to reduce waste, educate the impact waste at the risk of stunting in children, processing waste to become Eco-Enzyme. In this activity using the socialization method by direct delivery to related parties. With the Community Service Group in Integrated Environmental Learning (PLT) it is hoped that it will be able to help the people of Kampung KB Dusun Ngronggo increase public understanding of the importance of knowing environmental sanitation management and being able to utilize waste waste in reducing the risk of stunting in children.

Environmental factors that affect the incidence of stunting in under-five children: A literature review

Introduction: Stunting and other health issues affecting children under five result from unhealthy environments. Environmental sanitation by providing sanitary latrines and clean water supplies cannot be divorced from its influence. A review of the literature was conducted to assess how healthy latrines and clean water sources can improve stunting in children under the age of five.Methods: Four databases (Scopus, ProQuest, Science Direct, and Google Scholar) with high and medium-quality standards were used to find the articles for this literature study. The study’s quality was judged using Joanna B Institute’s criteria. The research is included in the inclusion criteria if it has a critical assessment score of at least 50%. PICOS used as the review’s organizing structure.Results: The availability of clean water sources and sanitary latrines significantly impacts stunting. Access to subpar latrines increases the risk of stunting in children under five. Stunting in children under five is influenced considerably by the availability of safe water sources.Keywords: environmental factors; stunting; under-five children

Predictors of stunting among children aged 6-59 months, Zimbabwe.

Stunted children have an increased risk of diminished cognitive development, diabetes, degenerative and CVD later in life. Numerous modifiable factors decrease the risk of stunting in children. This study aimed to assess the role of the individual, household and social factors on stunting in Zimbabwean children. A 1:2 unmatched case-control study. This study was conducted in two predominantly rural provinces (one with the highest national prevalence of stunting and one with the lowest prevalence) in Zimbabwe. Data were obtained from the caregivers of 150 children aged between 6 and 59 months with stunting and from the caregivers of 300 children without stunting. Multiple (39) correlates of stunting were identified. Child's age, birth length, birth weight, and weight-for-age outcome (child-related factors), caregiver's age, maternal HIV status, occupation, and education (parental factors), breast-feeding status, number of meals, and dietary quality (dietary factors), child's appetite, diarrhoeal and worm infection (childhood illnesses), income status, access to safe water, access to a toilet, health clubs and maternal support in infant feeding (household, socio-cultural factors) were all found to be significant predictors of childhood stunting. Nearly all aspects under review from the individual-, household- to social-level factors were significantly associated with childhood stunting. These findings add to the growing body of evidence supporting the WHO stunting framework and strengthen the need to focus interventions on a multi-sectoral approach to effectively address stunting in high prevalence countries.
