Abstract

In 2022, the Cirebon District faced a persistent issue of high stunting rates, affecting 15,299 cases or approximately 9.4% of its population. This study focuses on Sampiran Village, Talun Subdistrict, within the Cirebon District, aiming to investigate the correlation between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting in toddlers. Employing a cross-sectional study design with purposive sampling, data collection included questionnaires and anthropometric measurements provided by parents of the participating toddlers. Results revealed that 63.2% of toddlers did not receive exclusive breastfeeding, and 21% of them experienced stunting. Statistical analysis demonstrated a significant relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and stunting occurrence (p < 0.05), with an Odds Ratio of 1.133. This suggests that exclusive breastfeeding can reduce the risk of stunting by 1.133 times, emphasizing its crucial role in stunting prevention among toddlers. These findings underscore the urgency of promoting and educating parents and caregivers about the benefits of exclusive breastfeeding. Encouraging exclusive breastfeeding practices can potentially mitigate the prevalence of stunting in this vulnerable age group within the Cirebon District, ultimately contributing to better child health and well-being.

纯母乳喂养与学步期(1 -5岁)发育迟缓事件的关系

2022年，锡雷邦地区长期面临发育迟缓率高的问题，影响了15,299例，约占其人口的9.4%。本研究的重点是Cirebon区Talun街道的Sampiran村，旨在调查纯母乳喂养与幼儿发育迟缓之间的相关性。采用有目的抽样的横断面研究设计，数据收集包括问卷调查和幼儿父母提供的人体测量数据。结果显示，63.2%的幼儿没有接受纯母乳喂养，21%的幼儿发育迟缓。统计分析显示，纯母乳喂养与发育迟缓发生率有显著相关(p < 0.05)，比值比为1.133。这表明，纯母乳喂养可以将发育迟缓的风险降低1.133倍，强调了其在预防幼儿发育迟缓方面的关键作用。这些发现强调了促进和教育父母和照顾者关于纯母乳喂养益处的紧迫性。鼓励纯母乳喂养的做法有可能减轻奇雷邦地区这一脆弱年龄组发育迟缓的发生率，最终有助于改善儿童的健康和福祉。

期刊介绍： Welfare states have made well-being one of the main focuses of public policies. Social policies entail, however, complicated, and sometimes almost insurmountable, issues of prioritization, measurement, problem evaluation or strategic and technical decision making concerning aim-setting or finding the most adequate means to ends. Given the pressures to effectiveness it is no wonder that the last several decades have witnessed the imposition of research-based social policies as standard as well as the development of policy-oriented research methodologies. Legitimate social policies are, in this context, more and more dependent on the accurate use of diagnostic methods, of sophisticated program evaluation approaches, of benchmarking and so on. Inspired by this acute interest, our journal aims to host primarily articles based on policy research and methodological approaches of policy topics. Our journal is open to sociologically informed contributions from anthropologists, psychologists, statisticians, economists, historians and political scientists. General theoretical papers are also welcomed if do not deviate from the interests stated above. The editors also welcome reviews of books that are relevant to the topics covered in the journal.
