Description

Introduction: Stunting is a disruption in the growth and development of
children due to chronic malnutrition and recurrent infections, which is
characterized by their length or height being below standard. In 2021,
stunting in Buleleng Regency was at 8.9%, indicating a decrease from the
prevalence rate of 22.05% in 2019. Based on Buleleng health data in 2021,
in Banjar District, 188 toddlers were experiencing stunting out of a total of
1462 toddlers, with a percentage of 12.86%. This research aims to
determine the relationship between maternal knowledge and attitudes
regarding the first 1000 days of life and the incidence of stunting in Banjar
District.
Methods: This research was conducted using a cross-sectional approach
with a sample of mothers who had stunted children aged 0-5 years in
Banjar District. Data was collected by conducting structured interviews
and distributing research questionnaires which will be analyzed using
qualitative analysis.
Results: The findings of this study identified three categories of maternal
knowledge: mothers with a high level of knowledge (9.52%), mothers with
a moderate level of knowledge (41.27%), and mothers with a low level of
knowledge (49.21%). A p-value of 0.000 < 0.05 indicated a correlation
between the knowledge and attitudes of mothers regarding 1000 HPK
nutrition and the incidence of stunting in Banjar District.
Conclusion: The findings indicate a strong positive link between mothers’
knowledge and attitude and the incidence of stunting. Increasing mothers’
knowledge about children’s nutrition related to the first 1000 days of life
can reduce the incidence of stunting.
