RELATIONSHIP OF QUALITY OF ANTENATAL CARE (ANC) TO STUNTING EVENTS IN CHILDREN AGE 24-59 MONTHS IN INDONESIA USING LITERATURE REVIEW METHOD

Abstract

Indonesia has a stunting incidence of 29.6%. Stunting begins with the failure to thrive both during pregnancy and after birth in the first two to three years of life. This failure to thrive results in a decrease in the proportion of bone and soft tissue growth. The purpose of this study was to describe the relationship between ANC quality and the incidence of stunting in children aged 24-59 months in Indonesia through a literature review study. This research is a literature review. The research questions were formulated with PICO provisions, namely Population: Mothers and toddlers aged 24-59 months in Indonesia, Intervention: quality antenatal care, comparison: unqualified antenatal care, outcomes: stunting and not stunting. A total of 749 literatures were obtained from ScientDirect database, Google Scholar. The literature screening was carried out by looking at the inclusion and exclusion criteria that had been set so that 7 literature reviews were obtained. The quality of antenatal care that has a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting includes the frequency of antenatal care visits and the standard of antenatal care services, but the quality of antenatal care that is not significantly related to the incidence of stunting is the place of antenatal care visits.
