Abstract

Efforts to prevent stunting are not only carried out at public health centers, but all agencies are expected to actively participate in preventing stunting, especially hospitals which are required to implement national programs regarding stunting. Stunting is a problem of chronic malnutrition caused by a lack of nutritional intake over a long period of time. This causes problems in the future, namely difficulties in achieving optimal physical and cognitive development. Stunted children have a lower Intelligence Quotient (IQ) than the average IQ of normal children (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2018). Stunting is defined as a condition where the child's nutritional status according to TB/U results in a Z Score = <-2 SD, this indicates a short or very short body condition resulting from growth failure. Stunting in children is also a risk factor for death, problems with low motor development, low language skills, and functional imbalance (Anwar, Khomsan, and Mauludyani, 2014). Children who experience stunting as a result of someone not getting the right amount of nutritional intake over a long period of time (chronic). So that,stunting can actually be prevented with adequate nutritional intake, especially in the first 1000 days of life. This study aims to analyze efforts to prevent stunting during the prenatal period. The method used in this research is path analysis, by combining TRA and TPB theories to obtain 3 variables, namely environment, knowledge and behavior. Based on merger theory of behavior change TRA and TPB research can be concluded that the environment social pregnant women, knowledge about efforts to prevent stunting in pregnant women and the behavior of pregnant women regarding preventing stunting are all influential. This research concludes that stunting can be prevented from influencing factors starting from the prenatal period. Because adequate nutrition and the health of pregnant women greatly influence the growth of the fetus in the womb, which if there is a lack of intake can result in stunting.

Abstract

Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI) is a program that focuses on the main childhood diseases that occur in children under five years of age with a focus on pneumonia (acute respiratory infection), diarrhea, malaria, measles, dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF), ear and malnutrition. Diarrhea is a global health problem that causes high morbidity and mortality in developing countries due to poor environmental sanitation and hygiene, inadequate water supply, poverty and limited access to education. IMCI is a strategy that focuses on child as a whole, not on a single disease or condition, but on a combination of illnesses that need to be treated in an integrated manner at home and in primary health care facilities. Based on the Becora Community Health Center report that cases handled using the IMCI strategy totaled 2,204 cases in 2021, 4,273 cases in 2022 and 3,160 cases, from January to June 2023. Diarrhea cases ranked first, namely 584 cases in 2021, and in 2022 experienced an increase to 758 cases and until June 2023 cases of diarrhea reached 416 cases. The purpose of this residency is to know the management of cases of diarrhea by using IMCI strategies at the Becora Health Center, Dili, Timor Leste. Using descriptive studies because they only wanted to know the frequency distribution of cases handled with IMCI and specifically wanted to observe the management procedures in cases with diarrhea. Based on the results residence from 17-29 July 2023, 598 cases were not handled according to the IMCI strategy, of which 10.37% (n=62) cases had diarrhea and 0.5% (n=3) dysentery cases. In accordance with the results of observations that the IMCI management procedures are not in accordance with ministry standards or policies issued by the Ministry of Health Timor Leste. During residence it appears that health professionals conducting consultations are more directed to using general consultations than using the IMCI strategy.
