The effect of pregnant mother assistance on stunting prevention behavior
Stunting, a consequence of prolonged inadequate nutrition, often due to improper feeding practices, was a significant health issue. This study aimed to investigate the impact of maternal assistance on behaviors aimed at preventing stunting. The research employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-test and post-test for 32 pregnant women attending a Samarinda health center. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires evaluating knowledge, attitudes, and actions. The result of the study revealed that most participants were aged 18-25, had a high level of education, and were housewives. A majority had an income exceeding 2,868,081 units, were primigravida, and lived in nuclear families. Notably, maternal assistance significantly improved stunting prevention behaviors, as evidenced by a p-value of 0.005. This study emphasizes the positive impact of providing comprehensive support, including education and counseling, to pregnant women. Such assistance could enhance knowledge, attitudes, and actions related to stunting prevention. Health professionals should prioritize this support to reduce the risk of stunting among children and promote maternal and child health.
