Correlation Mother’s Eduaction and Received Stunting Information with Mother’s Stunting Knowledge

Abstract

Inadequate nutritional intake in toddlers is one of the main causes of stunting. Mother’s knowledge will determine attitudes in maintaining the nutritional needs of toddlers, and reducing the potential for stunting in toddlers. Factors that influence knowledge are education and information. The aim of the study was to analyze the correlation between mother’s education level and received stunting information with mother’s knowledge of stunting in Desa Sukamulya, Bandung Regency. The research design is a correlational quantitative, secondary data approach. The population is mothers with toddler in Desa Sukamulya, Bandung Regency. Samples were taken using total sampling technique, totaling 55 people. The instrument consisted of mother’s education, received stunting information, and mother’s stunting knowledge. The statistical test will be used Chi square. The results showed that there was no correlation between the mother’s education level (p-value = 0.138) and information exposure (p-value = 1.000) and the mother’s knowledge of stunting. Implementation of health education with audio-visual media and booklets as well as information guidance through health cadres can be carried out by community nurses to increase public knowledge regarding stunting. Education level and information exposure were not related to knowledge about stunting in Sukamulya Village, Bandung Regency. Community knowledge can be increased through the provision of health education interventions. Further research still needs to be done with better methods by use primary data.

Relationship Between Sociodemographic Characteristics and the Incidence of Stunting in Toddlers Based on Family Income Stratification

This is in line with research conducted by Rahmah (2023) that there is no significant relationship between education level and knowledge about stunting [24]. Nursa'idah (2022) also explains in her study that a high level of knowledge sometimes does not align with knowledge about nutrition due to different educational backgrounds.…”

“…(Aprizah, 2021) Hal serupa dilakukan penelitian (Sulistyawati, 2018) yang menyatakan tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan terhadap kejadian stunting pada balita, hal itu disimpulkan jika tingkat pendidikan ibu yang rendah apabila terbiasa mengikuti kegiatan posyandu dan penyuluhan gizi balita akan mampu mendapatkan pengetahuan yang cukup dan bisa mengasuh anak dengan baik (Sulistyawati, 2018). Penelitian ini juga didukung oleh Aini yang menyatakan bahwa Keterpaparan informasiterkait penangan stunting tidak terpengaruh dengan tingkat pengetahuan ibu itu sendiri ,dikarenakan adanya andil dari keterpaparan informasi yang didapatkan (Rahmah et al, 2023) Dari beberapa penelitian lain diketahui bahwa terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan pada tingkat pengetahuan dan praktik ibu balita dalam pemberian makanan pendamping ASI (MP ASI) pada kelompok eksperimen setelah intervensi (Susilowardani & Budiono, 2021).
