Description
Introduction: Stunting is a major nutrition problem worldwide, especially
in poor and developing countries. This problem leads to children's
suboptimal brain, mental, and cognitive development. The stunting rate
globally was 32.6% in 2000, and by 2017, around 150.8 million people
were suffering from malnutrition and stunting. This research aims to
determine the implementation of stunting prevention policies in the
Puskesmas (Public Health Centre) Blang Cut working area.
Methods: The research used a qualitative method with a descriptive
approach to analyze the implementation of countermeasure policies to
reduce stunting. The Health Belief Model was used as the theoretical
framework. The methodological orientation of this research was discourse
analysis. The study used an interview guide and a voice recorder to collect
information from 9 informants.
Results: Puskesmas Blang Cut has implemented several countermeasure
policies to reduce stunting. These include increasing awareness about the
importance of proper nutrition and hygiene, training healthcare workers
on stunting prevention, and monitoring children's growth regularly.
Implementing these policies has led to a significant reduction in the
prevalence of stunting. However, some challenges still need to be
addressed, such as increasing access to healthcare services and improving
the quality of healthcare facilities.
Conclusion: Communication factors related to implementing
Countermeasure Policies in Stunting Reduction have been running well.
The puskesmas has carried out all stunting reduction program activities,
but the more dominant one is the Supplementary Feeding Program for
those affected by stunting.
