Hospitalisasi membuat anak menjadi takut dan cemas sehingga bisa mempengaruhi lamanya hari perawatan. Brain gym membantu anak untuk dapat memanfaatkan seluruh potensi otak alamiahnya melalui gerakan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh brain gym  terhadap kadar kortisol anak prasekolah selama hospitalisasi. Peneliti menggunakan desain quasy experiment dengan melakukan penilaian kadar kortisol sebelum dan sesudah diberikan senam otak dan melibatkan kelompok kontrol sebagai pembanding. Responden yang terlibat pada penelitian ini anak usia 3-5 tahun yang diketahui mengalami cemas akibat hospitalisasi berjumlah 10 anak yang diambil menggunakan  tehnik purposive sampling. Hasil paired t test pada kelompok perlakuan menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kadar kortisol sebelum dan sesudah diberikan intervensi senam otak dengan nilai ρ = 0,012 sedangkan hasil uji paired t test pada kelompok kontrol menunjukkan bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan kadar kortisol sebelum dan sesudah diberikan intervensi senam otak dengan nilai ρ = 0,217. Senam otak merupakan metode gerak yang menimbulkan perasaan senang dan nyaman pada anak serta menurunkan kecemasan. Pemberian senam otak yang dikemas dengan pendekatan bermain maka kecemasan anak karena hospitalisasi menjadi berkurang. Pemberian senam otak dapat dikembangkan di ruang perawatan untuk membantu anak dalam relaksasi sehingga mengurangi kecemasan anak karena dirawat untuk memenuhi kenyamanan anak.

The Toddlerhood is an important period in the process of human growth and development. Development and growth in that period became a determinant of the success of children's growth and development in the next period. Early life of children starts from parents, so parents are responsible for the child's future. This study aims to analyze the influence of providing Anticipatory Guidance on the growth and development of infants aged 0-6 months. This study uses a quasi experimental design with a post test only non equivalent control group design. The respondents involved in this study were 54 mothers who had babies aged 0-6 months who were taken using a purposive sampling technique which was divided into treatment and control groups. The results of the Mann-Whitney U test showed that there were differences in growth in the treatment group with the control group with a value of ρ = 0.009 while the results of the Mann-Whitney U test on the development variable showed a difference between the treatment group with the control group with a value of ρ = 0.021. Assessment of infant growth is carried out by measuring anthropometrics which include weight (BW), length / height (TB), and head circumference then compared with the WHO-NCHS BB / U index. Assessment of infant development using KPSP (Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan). Anticipatory guidance is an educational method provided to provide guidance to parents so that children can grow and develop optimally and aims to improve family independence in maintaining health, preventing and overcoming child health problems.

Periode balita adalah periode tumbuh kembang yang pesat dimana anak mencapai perkembangan yang optimal pada usia ini. Keluarga terutama ibu adalah pihak yang memiliki peran penting dalam mengoptimalkan tumbuh kembang anak. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis perbedaan perilaku ibu dalam memberikan stimulasi tumbuh kembang setelah diberikan anticipatory guidance dengan kelompok ibu yang tidak diberikan anticipatory guidance. Desain penelitian ini menggunakan quasy experimental post test only non equivalent control group sedangkan sampelnya adalah ibu-ibu yang memiliki bayi usia 0-6 bulan sebanyak 54 orang yang diambil dengan tehnik purposive sampling. Hasil uji statistik U Mann-Whitney menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan perilaku ibu dalam memberikan stimulasi tumbuh kembang pada kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol dengan nilai ρ = 0,000. Penilaian perilaku ibu dalam memberikan stimulasi tumbuh kembang dilakukan dengan melakukan pengisian kuesioner Anticipatory guidance  merupakan pemberian bimbingan dan pendampingan oleh tenaga kesehatan kepada orang tua anak dalam hal ini adalah ibu mengenai bagaimana mengasuh dan memenuhi kebutuhan tumbuh kembang anaknya.

Introduction: The incidence of stunting is caused by several factors, one of which is the family factor. Mothers as the main caregivers for toddlers have a very important role in preventing stunting in children. Efforts to improve mothers' knowledge and skills in preventing stunting in toddlers continue to be carried out, but innovation is needed to increase mothers' understanding of the growth and development of toddlers so that stunting in toddlers can be prevented. One of the educational method innovations that can be carried out effectively is based on empowerment, namely 1 student 1 family, but there has been no research on a student team 1 family. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the OTOF (One Team Student One Family) on the level of knowledge among mothers of toddlers.Methods: This research was conducted in the working area of the Kertosari Public Health Center, Banyuwangi Regency from the beginning of June to the end of October using a pre and post-test quasy experiment with group control and using an independent t test. The population is all mothers who have toddlers. Sampling with stratified random sampling technique 61 respondents consisting of 31 interventions and 30 controls. The data collection instrument was Stunting Related Knowledge Questionnaire that has been declared valid and reliable the intervention used is to empower health students (nursing, analyst, midwifery, pharmacy and nutrition) according to their ability to carry out Health Education to 1 family. Results: The results showed that after giving the OTOF treatment the knowledge of the mother of toddlers increased and after being tested with the paired t-test, the result was p = 0.00 which means that there is an effect.  Conclusion: The conclusion is the results of the study show that there is an effect of the OTOF on the knowledge of mothers of children under five. Keywords: Mother Knowledge, OTOF, Stunting.
