Local Wisdom Education for Better Toddler Nutrition: Preventing Stunting in Tulungagung
Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still high. Stunting research is important because stunting is a serious public health problem. Healthy feeding is expected to prevent stunting, obesity, and malnutrition. This study aims to examine the level of influence of local wisdom-based health education with booklet media effective in improving toddler nutrition parenting.
Methods: The study uses a quasi-experimental design to see if local wisdom-based health education can improve toddler nutrition parenting practices. Mothers in the intervention group will receive health education and booklets, while mothers in the control group will not. The researchers will then compare the two groups to see if there is a difference in their toddler nutrition parenting practices.
Results: Wilcoxon test shows health education improved toddler nutrition parenting practices (p-value=0.00). The paired t-test result with a p-value of 0.047 further confirms the findings of the Wilcoxon test. Research shows that health education based on local wisdom with booklet media is effective in improving the nutritional parenting style of toddlers. This health education can help prevent stunting in toddlers.
Conclusion: The use of local wisdom-based health education books can be considered as a medium to improve toddler nutritional practices and prevent stunting.
