AbstrakStunting merupakan masalah gizi kurang yang kronis. Praktik pemberian makan merupakan salah satu faktor yang berkontribusi terhadap kejadian stunting, sehingga diperlukan adanya edukasi gizi mengenai praktik pemberian makan. Tujuan dilakukannya penelitian adalah mempelajari pengaruh intervensi edukasi gizi terhadap perbaikan pengetahuan dan praktik pemberian makan (feeding practice) ibu yang memiliki balita stunting. Desain penelitian menggunakan desain quasi experiment dengan pre-post test two group design. Lokasi penelitian adalah 6 posyandu di kelurahan Cibeureum Kota Cimahi yang memiliki prevalensi stunting cukup tinggi. Jumlah subjek penelitian penelitian pada kelompok satu dan dua masing-masing adalah 20 orang dengan kriteria inklusi meliputi ibu memiliki anak balita stunting usia 6-24 bulan saat penelitian berlangsung, anak tidak cacat, ibu dapat diajak berkomunikasi, bersedia menjadi subjek penelitian. Intervensi berupa edukasi gizi menggunakan booklet PMBA, cara mencuci tangan yang benar, daftar ukuran rumah tangga dan contoh hidangan yang diberikan 3 kali dengan selang waktu 1 minggu. Data yang dikumpulkan meliputi usia ibu, pendidikan, status bekerja, pemberian ASI, mulai MP-ASI, mendapat penyuluhan gizi, pre-post pengetahuan, pre-post feeding practice. Analisis statistik yang digunakan adalah uji Wilcoxon dan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil penelitian didapatkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan rerata yang bermakna pada skor pengetahuan sebelum dan setelah intervensi pada kedua kelompok (p=0,006; p=0,003), terdapat perbedaan rerata yang bermakna pada skor feeding practice sebelum dan setelah intervensi pada kedua kelompok (p=0,002; p=0,05). Kata kunci: stunting, pengetahuan gizi, feeding practice AbstractFeeding practices was one of the factors that contribute to the incidence of stunting and nutritional education needed to improve feeding practices. The purpose of this study was to study the effect of nutritional educational interventions to improve the knowledge and mother's practice of feeding who has stunting toddlers. The design of this study used quasi-experimental OPEN ACCESS

An imbalance in nutrient adequacy levels can cause nutritional problems, both undernutrition, and overnutrition. Adolescent energy needs are influenced by activity, basal metabolism, and the increased need to support accelerated growth and development during adolescence, while protein requirements in adolescents are determined by the amount of protein to support lean body mass and the amount of protein needed to increase lean body mass during accelerated growth. . This research was conducted with a cross-sectional design, a minimum sample of 44 people, taken by simple random sampling. The data collected included data on energy intake, protein intake, using 24-hour recall, physical activity using a 24-hour record of physical activity, and nutritional status obtained using anthropometric measurements and weighing. The study found that 81.8% had less energy intake, 90.9% had less protein intake and 45.5% of female students had light physical activity, 54.5% had moderate activity and 13.6% of female students had poor nutritional status, 65, 9% had normal nutritional status, 15.9% overweight and 4.5% obese. The proportion of samples with less energy intake had a poor nutritional status of 16.7% or higher than good intake. The proportion of samples with low protein intake had a 15% or higher nutritional status than those with good protein intake.

BACKGROUND: Athletes’ achievements require the support of sports science and technology. One of the supporting sciences is sports nutrition services by fulfilling athlete nutrition through foodservice and nutrition education in nutrition counseling or nutrition counseling according to the needs and conditions of athletes. AIM: This study aims to determine the effect of nutrition education on nutritional knowledge and macronutrient intake in Muay Thai athletes in Cimahi city. METHODS: This type of research is a Quasi experiment by applying a one group pre- and post-test design: Nutrition education using leaflets. The sample is Muay Thai athletes in Cimahi city who are actively practicing at the Empire Muaythai Camp as many as ten people. Data were collected by filling in the respondent’s characteristics, knowledge of nutrition, and intake of macronutrients. RESULTS: Based on the Wilcoxon test, it was found that there was an effect of providing nutrition education using leaflets on nutritional knowledge (p = 0.005) and protein intake (p = 0.047). CONCLUSION: It is recommended that regular and periodic nutrition education be given to athletes and coaches as well as collaborate with nutritionists regarding nutritional fulfillment for athletes to increase macronutrient intake so that the performance of Muay Thai athletes in Cimahi city is optimal.

BACKGROUND: A good nutritional status will improve health for average growth and physical development, and intelligence. The prevalence of schoolchildren (5–12 years) with malnutrition status based on brachial fat area is 11.2%, and the number of elementary schoolchildren with malnutrition status in Cibereum village is 107 students. The government has a School Child Supplement Program to meet schoolchildren’s dietary needs. It is necessary to have additional food for schoolchildren to improve their nutritional status, especially for students with low nutritional quality. AIM: The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of carrot catfish dumplings on the bodyweight of elementary school students with poor nutritional status as a form of supplementary food for schoolchildren. METHODS: Researchers conducted this study in January 2020 at Elementary Schools at the Cibereum Health Center (SDN Cibeureum 5, Cibeureum 7, and Cibereum Mandiri 2) with a sample of 25 people. The research design used is quasi-experimental using one-group pretest-posttest and statistical tests using the Wilcoxon test. RESULTS: The research test results showed that carrot catfish dumplings affected elementary school students’ body weight with low nutritional status. CONCLUSION: Carrot catfish dumplings can increase students’ energy intake and protein intake so that there is an increase in the average body weight of the sample by 0.55 kg. Suggestions for further research to conduct a similar study using a control group as the comparison group.
