Abstract

Stunting is one of the pressing health issues that requires serious attention and immediate intervention. This study aimed to assess the causes of stunting, the challenges faced by communities in ensuring nutrition for children, the management of stunting, and the efforts needed to optimize stunting intervention in rural areas. This study employed a qualitative approach with a total of 30 families having stunted children as informants. The study reveals that preventive measures against stunting should commence early, even during pregnancy. Apart from nutritional deficiencies, equally important contributing factors are inadequate maternal knowledge, recurrent or chronic infections, poor sanitation, and limited healthcare access. One pivotal step in preventing stunting is empowering and centralizing the role of mothers, who should be committed actors in the stunting prevention process. In a child’s growth and development, exclusive breastfeeding along with appropriate complementary feeding demands attention. Understanding child growth stages is crucial for parents to prevent stunting. Although most parents are aware of the significance of meeting their child’s nutritional needs, economic constraints and lack of awareness still hinder some parents from giving extra attention to this matter.
印度尼西亚东爪哇农村地区克服发育迟缓的综合处理方法
发育迟缓是迫切的健康问题之一,需要得到认真关注和立即干预。本研究旨在评估发育迟缓的原因、社区在确保儿童营养方面面临的挑战、发育迟缓的管理以及优化农村地区发育迟缓干预所需的努力。本研究采用定性方法,共有30个有发育迟缓儿童的家庭作为调查对象。研究表明,预防发育迟缓的措施应及早开始,甚至在怀孕期间也应如此。除了营养缺乏外,同样重要的因素还有产妇知识不足、经常性或慢性感染、卫生条件差以及获得医疗保健的机会有限。预防发育迟缓的一个关键步骤是赋予母亲权力并使其发挥集中作用,她们应该成为预防发育迟缓进程中的坚定行动者。在儿童的生长发育过程中,纯母乳喂养和适当的补充喂养需要引起注意。了解儿童发育阶段对父母预防发育迟缓至关重要。虽然大多数父母都意识到满足孩子营养需求的重要性,但经济上的限制和缺乏意识仍然阻碍了一些父母对这一问题给予额外的关注。
