Stunting in Indonesia is still high, including in Bengkulu Province with the locus on the outermost island, namely Meok Village, Enggano District. Stunting events affect the neurological development and cognitive abilities of children. Risk factors for stunting include education. knowledge, protein intake, infection, exclusive breastfeeding, fish food restriction culture. So that efforts are needed to increase the knowledge and ability of the community in processing local fish food ingredients as a food source for toddlers. The purpose of community service activities is to increase the knowledge and skills of mothers with toddlers in processing fish-based local food ingredients as an effort to prevent stunting in toddlers. The activity targets of mothers who have children under five are 35 people. Place of implementation Meok and Apoho Village, Enggano District, North Bengkulu Regency. Activities carried out in September-December 2021. The method of activity is the preparation, implementation, evaluation, follow-up plans. The result is an increase in the average score of knowledge about stunting prevention efforts from 11.09 before the activity to 18 after the activity. Mothers who have children under five are able to process fish-based food ingredients in the form of banana fish porridge and fish rollade. It can be concluded that this community service activity can increase the knowledge and ability of toddler mothers in processing fish-based food. It is suggested to health service providers to empower cadres in health promotion for stunting prevention through processing food menus in accordance with local wisdom.

Meta-analysis found that occupancy density, temperature, light, clean water, ventilation, gender, personal hygiene, knowledge, and contact with sufferers were risk factors for scabies in adolescents living in Islamic boarding schools. Research is needed by identifying close contact cases in the community, especially in high-risk groups such as students who live in dormitories. This study aims to analyze the factors associated with the incidence of scabies in young women at the Makrifatul Ilmi Islamic Boarding School, South Bengkulu Regency. The research design was cross-sectional, with the dependent variable being knowledge, age, personal hygiene, and environmental sanitation, while the dependent variable was the incidence of scabies. A sample of 50 teenagers was taken by accidental sampling technique. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire and an observation sheet. Data were analyzed univariately with frequency distribution tables, bivariate with chi-square, and multivariate logistic regression. The study's results found a relationship between gender and scabies, p=0.00, and there was a relationship between knowledge and scabies, p=0.00. There is a relationship between personal hygiene and scabies p=0.00. There is a relationship between environmental sanitation and scabies p=0.00. Environmental sanitation is the most dominant risk factor associated with scabies. Health service providers must work with non-health workers, including pesantren supervisors, parents, health workers, and health cadres, in conducting education, prevention, and treatment to ensure mite elimination and break the transmission.</em><em></em></p><p><strong><em>Keyword: </em></strong> <strong><em>Sanitation, Personal hygiene, Scabies knowledge</em></strong></p></td></tr></tbody></table></div>
One of the health program's priorities is to reduce the incidence of stunting. Interventions currently being carried out focus on the first 1000 days of life. However, they have not been successful due to difficult access, educational, socio-economic and cultural factors, such as on the remote island of Enggano. Therefore, cultural-based intervention is needed with local communities as the perpetrators because it is the social capital of development. This study aims to determine the influence of the role of the traditional Paabuki leader and cadres on knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary food in children under two years old on Enggano Island, North Bengkulu Regency, in 2021.This research uses a quasi-experimental research design without a control group. The intervention was in the form of modifying the role of traditional Paabuki leaders and cadres in training. Samples were 40 women with children under two years old selected by purposive sampling. The research results on the role of Paabuki and cadres affected knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary food with a p-value = 0.00. However, they did not affect breastfeeding behavior and complementary food with a p-value =1. Parity is the most influential factor in knowledge and attitudes about breastfeeding and complementary feeding (p-value =0.01). The role of Paabuki and cadres can be modified as channel media in providing information and advocacy about breastfeeding and complementary food. Service providers must carry out program innovations based on local culture so that the community more easily accepts them.
