Penggunaan Decision Tree dalam Penentuan Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Status Gizi Buruk Balita di Kelurahan Tamamaung

This study aims to evaluate the use of Decision Tree algorithms in determining the nutritional status of children based on Posyandu activity reports. Malnutrition poses serious risks for developing children, including weakened immune systems, long-term developmental delays, and high mortality rates. By applying the Decision Tree algorithm to classify the nutritional status of toddlers, this research seeks to identify nutritional status, which can then be addressed by health centers (Puskesmas). Using attributes such as weight (W), age (A), and height (H), aligned with child anthropometric indices, the Decision Tree method will be utilized to determine the factors influencing nutritional status in toddlers. The application of this method will facilitate the identification of at-risk toddlers, enabling timely prevention and intervention. Testing through k-fold cross-validation yielded an accuracy of 79.43%, a recall of 53.1%, and a precision of 76.6%. The results indicate that, out of 350 data points, the most significant factor affecting children's nutritional status is weight.

Shaping Healthy Beginnings: A Systematic Review on the Impact of Parenting Styles on Toddler Nutritional Status

Improving parenting and healthy nutrition for stunted toddler mothers through community service programs

Stunting is a significant public health problem, especially among toddlers, caused by chronic malnutrition and suboptimal parenting. This community service program aims to overcome these problems by providing relevant education and interventions to mothers of toddlers who experience stunting. This program aims to improve the knowledge and skills of mothers under five in terms of parenting and healthy nutrition, as well as encourage behavioral changes that support optimal child growth and development. This program is carried out through a series of educational activities, including training on balanced nutrition, how to serve nutritious food, and parenting techniques that support children's health. In addition, this activity also involves direct counseling and the provision of educational materials that are easy to understand by mothers of toddlers. The evaluation was carried out to measure the improvement of parenting knowledge, skills, and practices and their impact on the nutritional status of children. Early results showed a significant increase in maternal knowledge about the importance of balanced nutrition and healthy parenting. Practical skills in the presentation of nutritious food have also improved. Further evaluation showed that there was an improvement in the nutritional status of toddlers and a decrease in the prevalence of stunting in the target community. This community service program has succeeded in improving parenting and healthy nutrition knowledge for mothers of stunted toddlers. This intervention is expected to be a model for similar programs in other regions and make a positive contribution to reducing stunting rates more broadly

Socioeconomic Factors and Its Correlation with Nutritional Status in Toddlers: A Study in Papua

Nutritional status in toddlers is a critical indicator of overall well-being and long-term health outcomes. Malnutrition among children is persistent and continues to be an alarming burden, often linked to socioeconomic factors in Papua. This study aims to analyze the relationship between socioeconomics and the nutritional health of toddlers. This cross-sectional study involved 300 toddlers aged 1–5 years from working areas at the Primary Health Center (PHC) Remu, Sorong City, Papua. We collected data by conducting structured interviews with the mothers and measuring the anthropometric traits of the toddlers. Socioeconomics was assessed through family income, maternal education, and access to healthcare. We measured nutritional status using WHO standards for weight-for-age (underweight), height-for-age (stunting), and weight-for-height (wasting). We implemented the Pearson and Spearman correlation tests for data analysis. The results indicated family income (p < 0.05), maternal education (p < 0.05), and access to healthcare (p < 0.05) were significantly correlated with nutritional status. This study highlights the significant influence of socioeconomic status on the nutritional status of toddlers in Papua. Toddlers from families with higher income, better maternal education, and enhanced accessibility to healthcare had better nutritional outcomes, with lower rates of stunting, wasting, and underweight. These findings suggest the need for targeted interventions aimed at improving socioeconomic conditions and enhancing access to nutritional and healthcare services in Papua, particularly in rural and remote areas, to reduce malnutrition and promote better health outcomes for children.

Monitoring Data Nilai Gizi Balita menggunakan Tableau Public (Studi Kasus : Posyandu Sedap Malam)

In Indonesia, there are still toddlers with poor nutritional status. Nutrition is food substances needed for the development, growth, and health of a person's body. Toddlers who experience nutritional problems will have an impact on their growth and development, be susceptible to disease, and can even result in death in children under five. Children's growth and development are monitored regularly to detect potential problems early. Utilizing a community-based health system such as Posyandu is the most important key to improving the quality of children's growth and development. Monitoring of children's growth and development in Indonesia is carried out by measuring body weight every month at Posyandu with the Healthy Way Card (KMS) as a supporting tool. Through KMS, growth and development disorders in children can be identified early and appropriate steps can be taken to correct these problems. The Berbabis Tablue Posyandu Service Analysis Information System can help monitor data and information on the nutritional status of each child. The results of this paper show that the use of Tableau in analyzing data on the nutritional status of toddlers can provide a comprehensive and in-depth picture. Interactive visualization allows users to explore data directly, identify patterns, and quickly retrieve important information. With visualization, posyandu cadres can make decisions regarding toddler nutrition programs

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Midwifery Care in Health Observations of 24-Month-Old Toddlers: Study in Kute Rayang Village, Central Aceh, Indonesia

Toddler health is an important indicator of public health and nation development. Midwifery care plays an important role in maintaining the health of toddlers, including observing the health of toddlers aged 24 months.
