Stunting is a form of growth faltering due to the accumulation of insufficient nutrition that lasts for a long time starting from pregnancy until the age of 24 months. Data from the Bondowoso District Health Office, there are 24.16% or as many as 620 stunting toddlers at the Pujer Health Center in 2020. This number is the highest number of stunting cases in Bondowoso, and the stunting locus village in 2021 is in Alassumur Village, Pujer District. The purpose of this community service is to find out what factors are related to the incidence of stunting and to make a guidebook for toddler growth and development which is intended for health workers, posyandu cadres, and mothers of toddlers. The method used in this community service program is by measuring and interviewing. Measurements were made using anthropometric measurements including height or body length, weight, head circumference, arm circumference, triceps fat thickness, and subscapular fat thickness. Subjects were 128 children, the results showed that 22% or 28 children had stunting or short nutritional status and 13% or 16 children had very short nutritional status. The results of community service that have been carried out show that there are still stunting cases, the main cause being the high cases of early marriage and poor sanitation.
There is a phenomenon among the Javanese ethnic population, in which many wedding ceremonies are held whenever the Javanese calendar points to particular months such as Besar, Rejeb, and Ruwah, because marrying in those months is believed to bring good fortune. This study aimed to analyze the influence of wedding date determination through pitungan and feeling safe on birth variations of first-born and the number of children the wife gives birth to. The research was conducted in Blitar City, Blitar Regency, and Surabaya City with 193 married couples. Linear Regression and Chi-square were the statistical tests used in this research. Chi-square and Linear Regression tests proved that pitungan affects the birth variations of first-born (p = 0.004; p = 0.004) and the number of children a couple has (p = 0.007; p = 0.002). Both Chi-square and Linear Regression proved that feeling safe (roso slamet) does not have any significant effect on birth variations of first-born (p = 0.162; p = 0.767) and the number of children in household (p = 0.863; p = 0.680). The conclusion is that there is an important relationship between pitungan and birth variation in which the more pitungan is done, the sooner first-born is given birth to and the more children a married couple has.
