Abstract

To improve the human capacity in West Nusa Tenggara (WNT) province, a community-based intervention called Generasi Emas NTB (GEN) has been implemented in 2014. One of the programs is to ensure children’s nutritional and developmental wellbeing. However, there remains limited information regarding the situation of nutritional and developmental status of the children living in the GEN villages. This study aimed to assess the nutritional and developmental situation of under-fi ve years old children living in Tanjung Karang district, WNT. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Tanjung Karang district, one of the GEN villages in WNT, through integrated post service (posyandu). Children who met the sampling criteria were screened for their nutritional status using anthropometric measurement and developmental status using a prescreening developmental questionnaire (KPSP). A total of 638 children completed the demographic baseline assessment and were enrolled as participants. Most of the children were in the age group 7-12 months (19.1%) and 25-36 months (19.4%). The proportion of children who were underweight, stunting, and wasting were 19.4%, 32.2%, and 8.0%, respectively. The fi ndings for developmental screening showed that 12.2% children had dubious development and 3.1% (20/638) children were suspect of having a developmental delay. The proportion of under-fi ve years old children in Tanjung Karang district who were underweight, stunting, and wasting were still high but lower than the provincial average prevalence in 2017. Children who were found to have a doubtful result and suspect to have a developmental delay need to be evaluated further.

Abstract

ABSTRACT The current COVID-19 situation has disrupted routine growth and developmental screening programs for children delivered by the Community Health Centers (Puskesmas). The KUMBANG project aims to provide a ‘new normal’ alternative in screening for children's growth and development by involving medical students and using online platforms. This study aimed to assess the project’s reach in screening growth and developmental delays while also exploring the project’s effectiveness through parents' perspectives.Collaborating with the Center for Indonesian Medical Students’ Activities (CIMSA) Universitas Gadjah Mada, we recruited and trained 33 volunteers. Volunteers screen for children’s development through an online platform, while the community volunteer cadres measure children’s growth through COVID-safe offline appointments. We analyzed children's growth using the WHO Anthro Survey Analyzer and children's development according to the Kuesioner Pra Skrining Perkembangan guidelines. Parents' perspective on this project was assessed through a survey.A total of 92 under-five years old children from four Posyandu in Puskesmas Gondokusuman participated in the project. Around 29% (27/92) of the children had nutritional problems, either underweight, stunted, wasted, or a combination. Meanwhile, 34% (29/84) of children were at risk of developmental delays, of which five were suspected to have developmental delays, while 24 had dubious results. Parents reported that this method is sufficiently effective in screening for children's development and were comfortable with the online screening, since it is more COVID-safe. Parents also felt comfortable communicating with volunteers and believed that the medical students could provide valid and reliable information.KUMBANG project offers a good alternative for screening children's growth and development during the current disrupted routine screening. Involving medical students could help in service delivery, since health professionals are relatively occupied with COVID-19 management. The online method used in this project should be considered as a prospective option for routine screening.
