Sentiment Analysis Of Public Opinion On Handling Stunting In Indonesia Using Random Forest

The problem of stunting is important to solve, as it has the potential to disrupt human resource potential and is linked to health outcomes and even child mortality. The Indonesian government targets the stunting rate to drop to 14 percent by 2024 through an accelerated stunting reduction program as an effort to improve the nutritional status of the community and also reduce the prevalence of stunting or short toddlers. Understanding public sentiment towards stunting initiatives is essential for policy makers and stakeholders to design effective interventions and allocate resources efficiently. In this research, classification of positive and negative sentiment is carried out using the random forest algorithm. The data used is comment data on one of the social media pages, namely Twitter, regarding public sentiment towards handling stunting cases in Indonesia. The first stage in this research after obtaining a data is data preprocessing. The data preprocessing stage in sentiment analysis is useful for cleaning and normalizing text, removing irrelevant words, and preparing data so that algorithms can analyze sentiment more accurately and efficiently. Furthermore, the results of the preprocessed data are labeled 0 for positive and 1 for negative labels. The classification of positive and negative sentiment was done using random forest and resulted in an accuracy value of 97.5%. This model is good, but we suggest trying other algorithms in future research.

Effectiveness of the Sensitive Nutrition Intervention Program in Accelerating Stunting Reduction in Baubau City

Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in toddlers due to long-term malnutrition, exposure to repeated infections, and lack of stimulation. Not all short toddlers are stunted, so pediatricians need to differentiate them, but stunted children are scarce. Responding to this problem, the government issued Presidential Regulation (Perpres) Number 72 of 2021 concerning the Acceleration of Reducing Stunting. This regulation is a form of the government's commitment to accelerating the achievement of the stunting reduction target to 14 percent by 2024. This research aims to describe the effectiveness of a sensitive nutrition intervention program to accelerate stunting reduction in Baubau City, focusing on the accuracy of program targets and program outreach. The research used a qualitative design with a phenomenological approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with six informants, while secondary data came from related regional government organization (OPD) data. The data was then analyzed in several stages: data collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The research results show that based on indicators of the accuracy of program targets and program outreach in sensitive nutrition intervention programs, the acceleration of stunting reduction in Baubau City has been running effectively even though it has not significantly contributed to reducing the stunting prevalence rate. The decline in the stunting prevalence rate of only 1% shows that the accuracy of program targets still needs to be improved. Access to drinking water and sanitation, community recipients of PKH benefits, and the formation of farming community groups in the future must be several things that need to be maximized to achieve an accelerated reduction in stunting in Baubau City. In conclusion, the consistency of policy implementers must be bound by a shared commitment and shared goals and understanding in efforts to reduce the prevalence of stunting.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXCLUSIVE BREASTFEEDING HISTORY AND STUNTING INCIDENCE IN TODDLERS AGE 24-60 MONTHS

Currently the incidence of short toddlers or called stunting is one of the nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world. One of the causes of the stunting problem is the delay in Early Breastfeeding Initiation (IMD) and non-exclusive breastfeeding. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends breastfeeding for at least 6 months. Breast milk is a nutritional intake that fits the needs that help the growth and development of children. Children who do not get enough breast milk mean they have poor nutritional intake and can cause malnutrition, one of which can cause the risk of stunting. The method of this study is observational analytic with a retrospective approach. The number of samples in this study were 72 toddlers. The instrument used to obtain secondary data in this study was the MCH handbook, and the instrument used to obtain primary data in this study was research observation sheets. The data were analyzed using the Fisher Exact test. The results showed that out of 72 toddlers, 36 toddlers experienced stunting, 37 of them were not given exclusive breastfeeding and 35 of them were given exclusive breastfeeding. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting (P Value 0,000). There is a relationship between a history of exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in toddlers aged 24-60 months in the working area of the Telen Health Center.

KEKEP Ibu Motivator Empowerment Program with a Digital Handbook as an Effort to Prevent Stunting

The Nutritional Status of Toddlers in 2022 at Puskesmas (primary health center) Kasihan 1 revealed 79 cases of short toddlers (2.9%). Although this number decreased from the previous year which reached 4.6%, in absolute terms the incidence of stunting is still quite high. The handling of stunting has so far been carried out by all stakeholders, namely from the BKKN, the Head of Service to the village level. Meanwhile, the role of Puskesmas is in the form of assistance and direct intervention in cases of stunting. However, the combination of all stakeholders makes it difficult to find a comprehensive program for stunting prevention. KEKEP Ibu (Mothers Support Group Class) Motivator can be an extension of Puskesmas by providing direct CIE (Communication, Information, and Education) to the community. Two main problems are found, namely: Health service programs and Information Technology Approaches. The priority problems encountered are (1) Health services and the lack of nutritional program aids at puskesmas; (2) There are KEKEP Ibu motivators who do not have skills in comprehensive stunting prevention; (3) There is no digital-based media as a tool for providing CIE. This Community Service Activity aims to help empower KEKEP Ibu Motivators in a comprehensive stunting prevention effort by procuring an assistive tool in the form of a KEKEP Ibu digital motivator handbook and service model with participatory learning and action. The first stage of the assessment was to collect knowledge of KEKEP Ibu Motivator about stunting prevention. Stage two was planning and development planning and preparation for the implementation of the empowerment program and making IEC tools in the form of digital handbooks. Stage three was implementing a mini-workshop in introducing a stunting prevention program, training on making complementary food menus, and CIE simulation. Stage four was the evaluation of re-collecting the knowledge of KEKEP Ibu motivator about stunting prevention. The results of this activity showed that the level of knowledge of KEKEP Ibu motivators in the low category decreased from the previous 43 people (84.3%) to 10 people (19.6%) while the knowledge in the high category increased by more than 100%, originally 8 people (15 .6%) to 41 people (80.4%).

Pemberian Makan Bayi dan Anak (PMBA) dengan Kejadian Stunting

Stunting, also known as short toddler syndrome, is the most prevalent type of malnutrition (PE/micronutrients), which affects infants before and shortly after birth and causes their height to be out of proportion to their age. A chronic nutritional issue that results in stunting in children is insufficient dietary intake. Stunting needs special care because it can harm children's mental development and increase their risk of dying. One effort to build knowledge and skills in aiding in the resolution of dietary challenges is counseling training on Infant and Child Feeding (IYCF). The problem of stunting often arises due to a lack of knowledge and skills in meeting the nutritional needs of toddlers. “The global prevalence of stunting in the world, including in Indonesia, is still high”. To increase the community's knowledge and skills to deal with nutritional problems independently. Literature study by comparing 20 publications with similar subject matter related to knowledge and procedures of eating babies and kids and to the rate of stunting.
