Abstract

Objective: Stunting is a major health emergency in most developing countries, including Indonesia. The total number of stunting children in 2019 in Enrekang Regency is quite high at 44.8%. Therefore, this study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge, maternal education level, and the number of family members with the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in rural Enrekang, South Sulawesi. Method: An analytical observational study with a cross sectional approach. The subjects of the study were the mother and her child aged 6-12 years. Data collection using microtoa and questionnaires. 100 total samples were collected based on purposive sampling method. Data analysis using chi-square. Results: This study shows the proportion of stunted children 72.0%, maternal knowledge less 90.0%, low maternal education 66.0%, family size 95.0%. The results of statistical tests showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge (p = 0.027) and the incidence of stunting. Meanwhile, the level of maternal education (p = 0.992) and the number of family members (p = 0.919) are not related to stunting events. Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between maternal knowledge and stunting events. Increasing health knowledge and nutritional awareness in mothers through health promotion, stunting education with posters and the distribution of leaflets on sustainable stunting is a toll road in tackling chronic nutrition in children in rural Enrekang

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the relationship of economic status, infectious diseases, and Urinary Iodine Excretion (UIE) with the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in IDD endemic areas, Enrekang Regency. This research was an observational analytic study with a cross-sectional approach. Subjects in this study were taken by purposive sampling as many as 100 children aged 6-12 years. Research data were collected using a questionnaire, microtoise, and UIE Lab Test and then processed using the chi-square test. The results showed that the proportion of stunting was 72.2% and normal was 28.0%, the low family economy was 82.0%, infectious disease was 79.0%, and low urinary iodine deficiency was 21.0%. The chi-square test showed that there was a significant relationship between economic status (p=0.045) and infectious diseases (p=0.012) with the incidence of stunting, but there was no relationship between UIE and stunting (p=1,000). The economic status of parents and a history of infectious diseases contribute to the incidence of stunting. Modification of parents' crops by harvesting crops in a short time is recommended to increase family income and increasing children's healthy and clean behaviour is considered necessary to prevent infectious diseases.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal age at first pregnancy, birth spacing, and residence status with the incidence of stunting in elementary school children in rural Enrekang. A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in 3 villages in Enrekang Regency. This study involved 100 elementary school children who were selected by purposive sampling. Data was collected using a validated structured questionnaire and microtia. These results are then processed to obtain the child's nutritional status using the WHO Anthro-Plus software, namely Z-score the Height/Age index. The statistical test used is the Chi-square test. From a total of 100 children as respondents, 72.0% were found to be stunted and 28.0% were found to be normal. The age of the mother during pregnancy is considered ideal at 62.0%, the ideal birth spacing for children is 84.0%, and the status of residence with own ownership is 67.0%. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between the mother's age at first pregnancy (p=0.693) and birth spacing (p=0.373) and the incidence of stunting. Meanwhile, the status of residence is considered related to the incidence of stunting in elementary school children with a value of p = 0.014. Maternal age at first pregnancy and birth spacing were not related to stunting. We suspect parenting style, the mother's attitude, sanitation hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and housing conditions indirectly contribute to the incidence of stunting. It is hoped that further research examines this matter.
