The Influence of Mother Characteristics on Giving Tempe Broth as an Effort Prevention of Stunting in Toddler

Abstract

Stunting is one of the effects of nutritional problems from past intake caused by a lack of macro and micro nutrient intake (such as protein, vitamin A, zinc), as well as the frequency of infectious diseases such as diarrhea and low birth weight. Kuala Pesisir sub-district has a prevalence of stunting in 2017 that is 39.2%. Purwodadi Village accounts for the highest stunting case, with 66 toddlers with stunting. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of mothers' knowledge and attitudes on the provision of tempe broth as an effort to prevent stunting in infants in Purwodadi Village, Kuala Pesisir District, Nagan Raya Regency. This study uses a cross-sectional design with a population of 75 mothers who come from poor families and have toddlers, sampling using a total sampling technique that is as many as 75 mothers who come from misikin families. Data were analyzed by univariate, bivariate, and multivariate using multiple linear regression tests.The results showed a relationship between mother's knowledge and attitude towards the provision of tempe broth as an effort to prevent stunting in infants (P. Value <0.05). For the results of multivariate analysis shows that the mother's knowledge gives a stronger influence on the administration of tempe broth (Ex. B. 27, 28). The conclusion there is a very significant relationship between mother's knowledge and attitude towards the provision of tempe broth. Mother's knowledge gives a stronger influence on the provision of tempe broth as an effort to prevent stunting in infants. It is necessary to increase the education program for the community about the importance of nutrition in preventing stunting in infants.

The Effectiveness of the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) Program on The Attitude of Mothers and Health Cadres on Stunting at Puskesmas Karanganom Klaten Central Java Republic of Indonesia

“…This is by the previous theoretical concept where stunting can be prevented by eliminating risk factors that can cause stunting in mothers, babies, and the environment [17][18][19][20][21][22]. The results of this study also further strengthen the findings of previous studies where the causes or risk factors for stunting vary widely, which are closely related to the educational status and culture of the community [28][29][30]. The data from this research Kemendesa PDTT (2018) [17], shows that the education level of most respondents is secondary education (Junior High School/Senior High School).…”

“…Health cadres have an important role in intervention in children aged 0-6 months by encouraging early breastfeeding initiation (breastfeeding with breast milk/colostrum) and encouraging exclusive breastfeeding. Interventions for breastfeeding mothers and children aged 7-23 months can be carried out by encouraging continued breastfeeding until the age of 23 months accompanied by complementary feeding, providing deworming medicine, providing zinc supplementation, fortifying iron into food, providing protection against malaria [28][29][30]. Provide complete immunization, and do prevention and treatment of diarrhea.…”

“…Furthermore, dietary factors in toddlers are a risk factor for stunting, where reduced dietary diversity is a strong predictor of stunting [5]. Therefore, the inclusion of various food groups in complementary foods may be important to improve the nutritional status of children to prevent stunting [29].…”

“…In this study, researchers seek to find a new strategy to prevent stunting, namely the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC), whether it can change the attitudes of mothers and health cadres about stunting. Interprofessional Collaboration is a good and mutually beneficial collaboration between two or more organizations or professions to achieve specific goals [29,30]. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) program on the attitudes of mothers and health cadres about stunting.…”

Potensi Pangan Fermentasi Tempe Dalam Mengatasi Kejadian Stunting di Indonesia

“…Selain disebabkan oleh defisiensi zat gizi makro, Stunting juga berhubungan dengan kekurangan Seng (Zn). Rendahnya sintesis hormon pertumbuhan dapat menghambat pertumbuhan linier dan dapat menyebabkan kondisi stunting pada masa balita (40) . Stunting dapat diatasi dengan memenuhi kebutuhan gizi anak berupa zat gizi makro dan mikro disertakan pola asuh yang baik.…”
