Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study examined links between Indonesia's Healthy Family Program (PIS-PK) and stunting in children during their first 1000 days of life in Central Aceh. Researchers surveyed 82 mothers with young children and found that contraceptive use, facility-based delivery, complete immunization, exclusive breastfeeding, and child growth monitoring were all associated with lower stunting rates. The study suggests that adding counseling on family nutrition and parenting practices could help reduce stunting in the region.
Key points
- Contraceptive/family planning use was associated with lower stunting (p=0.041)
- Delivery in a health facility was associated with lower stunting (p=0.044)
- Complete basic immunization was associated with lower stunting (p=0.024)
- Exclusive breastfeeding was associated with lower stunting (p=0.046)
- Child growth monitoring was associated with lower stunting (p=0.043)
Limitations
This was a cross-sectional study with a small sample (n=82) that can only show associations, not causation. The study does not report how stunting was measured, the characteristics of the sample, or whether confounding factors were controlled for.
Abstract
Background: Indonesia is still experiencing problems in child nutrition and growth and development, one of which is stunting. Aceh is one of the provinces with a high percentage of stunting. Central Aceh Regency is a district that is included in the 10th highest cases of stunting in Aceh. The incidence of stunting is very influential since the child is in the first 1000 days of life. The aim of this research is to find out the relationship between the Indonesia Healthy Family Approach Program (PIS-PK): nutritional indicators, maternal and child health with stunting in the first 1000 days of life in the Lut Tawar Community Health Center working area. Method: This research is descriptive-analytic with a cross-sectional approach. The population in this study were all mothers who had children in the first 1000 days of life in the Lut Tawar Community Health Center area, Central Aceh Regency with a total sample of 82 people. The sampling technique uses proportional random sampling. Data collection was carried out using a questionnaire, then statistical tests were carried out using the chi-square test, and data were analyzed using SPSS. Results: The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between the use of contraception/family planning (p value=0.041), delivery in a health facility (p value=0.044), complete basic immunization (p value=0.024), exclusive breastfeeding (p value=0.046) and monitoring child growth (p value=0.043) with the incidence of stunting in children in the first 1000 days of life in the Lut Tawar Community Health Center working area. Recommandation: It is hoped that the Central Aceh District Health Service will add more activities such as counseling on dietary patterns and parenting patterns in households besides PIS-PK in order to reduce the stunting rate in Central Aceh District.
