POLA ASAH DAN ASUH BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN KEJADIAN STUNTING DI PUSKESMAS AIR BANGIS, PASAMAN BARAT

Abstract

Stunting is still a health problem for children under five in Indonesia. The incidence of stunting increases if the risk factors that cause editing are not considered. Teaching, love, and care for children under five are among the risk factors for stunting. This study aims to determine the relationship between grooming, compassion, and parenting with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. This study used a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The study sample was selected by consecutive sampling and obtained 100 mothers of children under five who met the inclusion criteria (had children aged 24-59 months, had no congenital disease and were willing to be respondents). The collection of data on the pattern of honing, caring, and caring used a questionnaire, while the data collection of toddler stunting status used the measurement of the child's height. Data analysis was performed by univariate and bivariate (chi-square). The results showed that the incidence of stunting in the Air Bangis Health Center was 31%. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between training patterns (p-value 0.002) and parenting (exclusive breastfeeding p-value 0.042) with stunting. Parents have an important role in fulfilling the needs of grooming, loving, and fostering to optimize the growth and development of toddlers.  Education to parents needs to be done to increase parental knowledge about appropriate stimulation, a touch of love, and exclusive breastfeeding.
