The Effect of Education Giving on The Parent's Behavior About Growth Stimulation in Children with Stunting

Abstract

Stunting (short body) is a very short body state that goes beyond 2 SD below the median length or height of the population body which is an international reference. Stunting describes a lack of nutrition that has been going on for a long time and requires time for children to develop and recover. A number of studies show a link between stunting with poor motor and mental development in early childhood, and poor cognitive achievement and school achievement in late childhood. In Sleman Regency in 2014 the stunting number reached 12.87% (DIY 14.32%), wasting 4.02% (DIY 3.89%) and overweight 5.82% (DIY 5.84%). The highest stunting rate appears in the Margins of 141 toddlers experiencing stunting. Of all the toddlers in existence, and as a cause of malnutrition cases are the presence of comorbidities, congenital abnormalities from birth and because of wrong care. Parents of children with stunting have focused on treatments to restore anthropometric growth but are less aware of the stimulation efforts that need to be done. The purpose of this study was to provide a design intervention in midwifery care in children with stunting by providing education to parents about stimulation of growth and development. The research method uses quasi-experimental pre-post test with control group design. Data analysis was carried out by Paired T-test analysis. Respondents in this study were mothers with 1-3 year old stunting children in Sleman Regency. The sampling technique used in this study was using purposive sampling technique. The number of samples in this study were 37 people. The results showed that there was an effect of providing education on the stimulation of child growth and development of parents children with stunting with a significance value of p = 0.002 (p <0.05). There is influence of education giving on the parent's behavior about growth stimulation in children with stunting.

Education regarding relationship of nutritional status to short stature and level of intelligence to parents of elementary school students

“…Wuryanti et al performed nutrition educational counseling in Kemayoran,Central Jakarta, reported that maternal knowledge significantly increased after the counseling (Wuryanti dkk, 2019). Several studies also showed the increment of parental knowledge after educational counseling was performed audio-visually and active question-answer sessions (Hati & Pratiwi, 2019). This activity is held in the form of educational counseling and leaflet distribution.…”

Early Stunting Detection Education as an Effort to Increase Mother's Knowledge about Stunting Prevention

“…Furthermore, the training of health cadres in early detection of nutritional disorders also showed an increase in knowledge and skills. The impact is that the health cadres have shown improvements in making referrals for nutritional disorders for children under five, while mentoring by cadres has a positive impact on nutrition health services for children under five (Hati & Pratiwi 2019).…”

Family Empowerment Model on Sensitive Nutrition Intervention for Stunting

“…Various potential resources in the family that are utilised properly will help overcome existing problems more effectively than using other resources that are not necessarily owned [2]. The high incidence of stunting and the suboptimal level of public health are basically influenced by environmental conditions, community behaviour, health services and genetics [3]. The family as the closest resource still cannot be maximised in carrying out its functions, especially in preventing and handling stunting.…”

“…Nutrition-sensitive interventions are efforts to deal with stunting by targeting the general public including the family environment, which contributes to 70% of stunting interventions [3]. Nutrition-sensitive interventions include 12 things that can be done by families and communities to treat stunting in toddlers.…”
