Pengaruh Pelatihan Penggunaan Aplikasi Pemantau Pertumbuhan Anak Terhadap Praktik Mandiri Ibu Dalam Pemantauan Stunting

Abstract

Children are the future of the nation who have the right to grow and develop properly. The problem of growth in children in Indonesia is still quite high. The prevalence of stunting in 2017 was 29.6%, far above the minimum limit set by WHO, which is 20%. One of the pillars of preventing stunting is warning and evaluation. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of training on the use of child growth applications on mothers' independent practice in stunting monitoring. This study used a quasi-experimental design with a pre and post test control group design. The sample of this research is mothers who have children under five at Posyandu Arjuna, Baros Village, perhaps 60 people. The statistical test results with the Man Whitney analysis showed a p value of 0.007, which means that there is a limit between the independent practice of the control group and the intervention intervention during the post test so it can be ignored that the use of growth monitoring applications has a good effect on the independent practice of mothers in monitoring stunting.
