Description
Introduction: Stunting can ruin the future of children. However, changes
immediately impact the child's stage of development. It shows the need to
develop a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for current causes
of stunting in rural areas. Purpose: This paper tries to analyze development
instruments to find out the factors that cause stunting in rural areas.
Methods: The study was conducted in a form of a survey, with quantitative
data analysis to get an outlook of measurement instrument validity and
reliability built practically with the cross-sectional method. Only mothers
who have children of their own were recruited in this study. This study
used a questionnaire. The validity and reliability has been counted using
Cronbach's alpha.
Results: The child's age, height, and weight are valid in determining
biological factors in stunting situations. The number of rooms at home, the
job of the head of the family, and education. Mother is a sub-variable that
does not describe socioeconomic factors that cause stunting. Family
planning history is a supporting sub-variable to explore the reasons for
stunting behaviors.
Conclusion: The questionnaire successfully identified factors causing
stunting in rural areas, which is valuable for policymakers and researchers.
Limitations included a small sample size. Further research and in-depth
interviews are needed to investigate stunting factors in rural areas.
