Pembuatan Nugget Tempe Dalam Pemenuhan Gizi Balita Cegah Stunting

Good nutrition is an important foundation for a child to grow and develop optimally, especially children who grow and develop in vulnerable environments. The results of the 2021 Nutritional Status survey show that 1:4 Indonesian children experience stunting and 1:10 children experience malnutrition. Prevention of stunting must be as early as possible, starting from portions of the plate with balanced nutritional content. Tempeh is a fermented product made from soybeans, the price is quite cheap, tempeh is also the best source of energy and protein, tempeh contains prebiotics which are good for the intestines, low in sodium and carbohydrates. 84 grams of tempeh contains 162 calories, 15 grams of protein, 9 grams of carbohydrates, 9 milligrams of sodium and many others. Efforts can be made to increase the knowledge and skills of cadre mothers and mothers of toddlers by conducting counseling, demonstrations and simulating tempe food. This dedication has a positive effect on knowledge, skills and ideas in making a variety of healthy snacks. The aim of this community service is so that mothers of babies and toddlers know and understand that tempeh food can be processed into various healthy snack ingredients to prevent stunting. The method of implementing activities in general includes the stages of introduction, counseling, demonstration and evaluation. It is hoped that in the future, cadre mothers and the community, especially mothers who have babies and toddlers in RW03 RT02, Kualu Village, Tambang Kampar District, will be more creative in making preparations made from tempeh that are rich in nutrients in an effort to prevent stunting and more often seek the latest information about nutrition in the reproductive cycle.

Mothers’ experiences of family life during COVID-19: a qualitative comparison between Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States

ABSTRACT The COVID-19 pandemic amplified demands on parents regarding balancing childcare and working from home. How parents distribute responsibilities differs culturally, and governments undertook varied strategies to address COVID-19. Research indicates that the pandemic resulted in increased burden for mothers, but also that it created a novel situation in which parenting and working styles could be re-evaluated. However, Swedish mothers of toddlers and school-aged children were underrepresented in this research, and their voices can contribute to understanding how mothers in countries with different gender norms and lockdown statuses were affected. This study aimed to illuminate how mothers in a country with explicit commitment to gender equality in parenting and no lockdown (Sweden) experienced the pandemic, in contrast to mothers from countries that had lockdowns and different gender norms in parenting (the UK and US). Findings based on 193 mothers’ qualitative responses to open-ended questions indicated that mothers struggled with COVID-19 financial worries and concerns about family wellbeing. Support, both external and in coparenting, varied considerably among participants. Positives were reported, such as gratitude, closeness, and better quality of coparent interactions. We highlight the importance of considering emotional work, and the need to support parents both in times of crisis and beyond.

Smart Nutrition for a Golden Generation: Nutrition Education for Mothers of Toddlers

Optimal nutrition during early childhood is crucial in supporting the overall growth and development of children. This period is known as the golden age, during which brain and physical development occur very rapidly. Therefore, nutrition education for mothers of young children is a vital step in ensuring that future generations grow up to be healthy and intelligent individuals. Knowledge about the nutritional needs of young children, the proper way to provide complementary feeding (MP-ASI), and the prevention of malnutrition are the main focuses of this education. This article also presents various essential nutrients needed by young children and practical tips for mothers in providing MP-ASI. The Community Service Program (PKM) was held at the Nurtiana Ginting Clinic, Serdang Bedagai Regency, on May 4, 2024, involving 18 participants. The primary goal of this PKM is that with good nutrition education, it is hoped that mothers will become more skilled in providing healthy and balanced meals, thus supporting the creation of a healthy and intelligent golden generation. Adequate knowledge will help mothers make the right decisions regarding diet and food choices, ultimately supporting the creation of a healthy, intelligent, and highly competitive golden generation. Nutrition education also plays an important role in preventing various health problems that can arise from nutritional deficiencies or excesses, thereby significantly improving children's quality of life.

Implementasi Metode Mobile D pada E-Posyandu berbasis Android sebagai Alat Literasi dalam Mencegah Stunting Anak Usia Dini

Stunting is a worldwide health problem that impacts children's physical growth and development. According to the latest Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI), the stunting rate in Indonesia will reach 21.6% by 2022. Due to its high prevalence, stunting is a major concern. This condition can affect the future of society, the quality of life and the productivity of children. Among the factors causing stunting are inadequate nutrition, unhealthy pregnancies, improper feeding methods, lack of hygiene and sanitation, economic and social factors, infections and chronic diseases, lack of access to health services, and lack of knowledge about the importance of maintaining health for growing children. To solve this problem, an Android-based application is needed that can be accessed anywhere. In this research, the method used is Mobile D consisting of five phases: exploration, Initialization, Production, Stabilization, and System Testing and Fix. It is hoped that the E-Posyandu Application can improve community access to basic health services. With this application, the danger of stunting can be avoided because pregnant women, mothers of toddlers, and other posyandu members can easily access information about child growth and development info, immunization info at each developmental period, info on the location of the nearest RSIA, and complementary food information for toddlers over the age of 6 (six).

The influence of early and current feeding practices, eating behaviors, and screen time on dietary patterns in Polish toddlers - A cross-sectional study

Early nutrition has an important influence on a child's proper health and development, and understanding factors that may be related to desirable dietary patterns is key to improving the diet of future generations. The aim of this study was to assess whether early and current feeding practices, eating behaviors, and screen time viewing are associated with toddlers' dietary patterns. A cross-sectional sample of 467 mothers of toddlers (aged 1 year to 3) was surveyed between 2020 and 2022. Food consumption was evaluated by the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). The k-means algorithm was used to define dietary patterns on the basis of data collected from the FFQ and mealtime environment patterns, based on the data about practices during meals consumption. The odds of following a prohealth dietary pattern among early feeding factors were lower when infants ate commercial complementary foods more often. Distracted mealtime environment pattern increased the odds of following a non-eaters pattern, and commercial complementary foods pattern increased the odds of following a processed pattern. Currently, the odds of following a processed dietary pattern were higher when children were not breastfed and had higher screen time. Toddlers who ate during distraction and were more fussy had lower odds of following a prohealth dietary pattern, whereas higher enjoyment of food and satiety responsiveness increased the odds. The results indicate the need to increase parents' awareness about the importance of early factors in establishing dietary patterns.
