NUTRITION EDUCATION AS BENEFICIAL COMPLIMENT ON CHILDREN’S NUTRITION INTERVENTION: A NARRATIVE REVIEW

Introduction: Malnutrition remains a significant public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries where children are disproportionately affected. In Indonesia, although various nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions have been implemented, stunting, wasting, and growth faltering continue to pose major challenges. Most nutrition programs emphasize food or nutrient provision, yet the behavioural factors influencing feeding practices and intervention adherence often receive less attention. Nutritional education has increasingly been recognized as an important strategy to complement these interventions. This narrative review aims to examine the current evidence on the role of nutritional education in improving the effectiveness of nutrition interventions. Methods: A narrative literature review was conducted by searching PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect for English-language publications from 2014 to 2026. The review included studies that integrated nutritional education with nutrition interventions, such as food supplementation, complementary feeding, and community-based nutrition programs. Relevant reports from international organizations were also included to provide broader context. Results: The available evidence suggests that nutritional education strengthens the impact of nutrition interventions by improving caregivers' knowledge, infant and young child feeding practices, dietary diversity, adherence to intervention programs, and health-seeking behaviors. Overall, interventions that combined nutritional education with nutrition support showed more favorable improvements in child growth and nutritional outcomes than those focusing solely on nutrient provision. In addition, educational components contributed to more sustainable changes in health and nutrition behaviors. Conclusion: Nutritional education is a valuable complement to nutrition interventions because it addresses the behavioral and knowledge-related factors that influence nutritional outcomes. Integrating evidence-based educational approaches into nutrition programs has the potential to improve program effectiveness and contribute to more sustainable reductions in childhood malnutrition.

Maternal Parenting Practices as a Socio-Cultural Determinant of Stunting and Motor Development among Toddlers in Jeneponto Regency

Stunting is a chronic nutritional condition that can impair physical growth and motor development in early childhood, with maternal parenting practices considered an important factor influencing its occurrence. This study aimed to examine the association between maternal parenting practices, stunting, and motor skill development among children aged 24-59 months at Bontomate’ne Community Health Center, Jeneponto Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative cross sectional design was employed involving 44 children selected through purposive sampling. Maternal parenting practices were assessed using a structured questionnaire, nutritional status was determined based on height-for-age Z-scores (HAZ), and motor development was evaluated using the Denver Developmental Screening Test (DDST). Associations between variables were analyzed using Fisher’s Exact Test. The findings showed that most others demonstrated sufficient parenting practices, accounting for 42 children (95.5%), while good parenting practices were identified in only 2 children (4.5%). Of the total participants, 43 children (97.7%) were classified as stunted. A significant association was found between maternal parenting practices and stunting (p = 0.045). Stunting was also significantly associated with delayed motor development (p = 0.035), with severely stunted children showing a greater tendency to experience delays in motor skills. These findings indicate that maternal parenting practices are associated with the risk of stunting, which is subsequently related to motor development in young children. Therefore, early interventions integrating parenting education and nutritional support are important to prevent stunting and promote optimal growth and motor development during early childhood.

Maternal food literacy and its association with household food security and dietary fiber intake among primary school children in Indonesia

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Ibu memiliki peran penting dalam pengambilan keputusan terkait penyediaan pangan dan pola makan keluarga. Literasi pangan dan gizi ibu yang baik dapat meningkatkan ketahanan pangan keluarga dan kualitas diet anak. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji literasi pangan dan gizi ibu serta hubungannya dengan ketahanan pangan rumah tangga dan kualitas diet anak (asupan serat) di Indonesia Metode: Penelitian menggunakan desain cross-sectional yang dilakukan terhadap 86 pasang ibu dan anak (anak berusia antara 9–12 tahun) di wilayah Kecamatan Kedungbanteng. Literasi pangan dan gizi ibu dievaluasi menggunakan Short Food Literacy Questionnaire (SFLQ). Ketahanan pangan rumah tangga ditentukan menggunakan Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), sementara konsumsi makanan dicatat melalui 24-hour food recall. Korelasi bivariat dan model regresi multivariat (logistik dan linear) digunakan untuk menganalisis data Hasil: Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan bahwa literasi ibu dan pendapatan keluarga berhubungan positif dengan ketahanan pangan. Berdasarkan regresi logistik multivariat, hanya pendapatan rumah tangga yang tetap memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan ketahanan pangan (AOR = 1,431; p = 0,041). Pada analisis regresi linier berganda, literasi pangan dan gizi ibu menjadi satu-satunya prediktor terhadap asupan serat anak (B = 0,089; p = 0,043), setelah disesuaikan dengan pendapatan rumah tangga, usia ibu, jumlah anggota keluarga, dan kovariat lain yang dimasukkan ke dalam model. Kesimpulan: Literasi pangan dan gizi ibu berkontribusi terhadap asupan serat anak, walaupun hubungan yang diamati relatif kecil. Namun demikian, peningkatan literasi pangan dan gizi pada ibu tetap diperlukan untuk meningkatkan kualitas diet anak. ABSTRACT Background: Mothers play a critical role in decision-making regarding household food security and family dietary patterns. Adequate maternal food and nutrition literacy can enhance household food security and improve children's diet quality. Objectives: This study aimed to examine maternal food literacy and its relationship with household food security and children's dietary quality (fiber intake) in Indonesia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was completed in 86 mother-child pairs (child’s age between 9 to 12 years) in the Kedungbanteng sub-district. Maternal food literacy was evaluated with the Short Food Literacy Questionnaire (SFLQ). Household food security was determined using the Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS), and dietary intake was recorded using a 24-hour food recall. Bivariate correlations and multivariate regression models (logistic and linear) were used to analyze the data. Results: Bivariate analysis showed that maternal literacy and family income were positively associated with food security. Based on multivariate logistic regression, only household income retained an association with food security (AOR = 1.431, p = 0.041). In a multiple linear regression model, maternal food literacy was the only predictor of child fiber intake (B = 0.089, p = 0.043), after adjusting for household income, mother's age, family size, and other covariates included in the model Conclusions: Maternal food and nutrition literacy contributes to child fiber intake, despite a relatively small observed association. However, enhancing maternal food and nutrition literacy is still required to improve children's dietary quality.

Determinants of Stunting among under-fives aged 24–59 months in the villages of Labuan Ratu Kampung, Banjar Ketapang, and Gunung Labuhan

ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Stunting masih menjadi masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang berdampak terhadap pertumbuhan fisik, perkembangan kognitif, serta kualitas sumber daya manusia di masa mendatang. Kejadian stunting dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor. Prevalensi stunting di Indonesia 21,5% dan Kabupaten Lampung Utara memiliki prevalensi yang lebih tinggi sebesar 23,5% pada tahun 2023. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis hubungan riwayat pemberian asi ekslusif, jumlah anggota keluarga dan pendapatan keluarga dengan kejadian stunting pada balita di Desa Labuhan Ratu Kampung, Desa Banjar Ketapang, dan Desa Gunung Labuhan, Kabupaten Lampung Utara. Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan desain observasional analitik menggunakan pendekatan cross-sectional. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada November 2024 sampai dengan Januari 2025 terhadap 65 balita yang dipilih menggunakan teknik cluster random sampling. Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner dan pengukuran antropometri, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji Gamma dengan tingkat kemaknaan 95% (α=0,05). Hasil: Sebanyak 35 balita (53,8%) mengalami stunting. Hasil analisis menunjukkan terdapat hubungan antara riwayat pemberian ASI eksklusif (p=0,01; Gamma=0,53), jumlah anggota keluarga (p=0,04; Gamma=-0,50) dan pendapatan keluarga (p=0,01; Gamma=-1,00) dengan kejadian stunting. Proporsi stunting lebih tinggi pada balita yang tidak memperoleh ASI eksklusif dan berasal dari keluarga dengan jumlah anggota lebih dari empat orang. Kesimpulan: Riwayat pemberian ASI eksklusif, jumlah anggota rumah tangga, dan pendapatan rumah tangga merupakan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan status stunting pada balita. Upaya pencegahan stunting perlu dilaksanakan melalui pendekatan terpadu yang mendorong pemberian ASI eksklusif dan pemantauan pertumbuhan secara berkala, sembari mempertimbangkan pendapatan rumah tangga dan jumlah anggota keluarga dalam upaya memenuhi kebutuhan gizi anak. ABSTRACT Background: Stunting remains a public health issue that impacts physical growth, cognitive development, and the future quality of human resources. The occurrence of stunting is influenced by various factors. The national prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is 21.5%, while North Lampung Regency recorded a higher prevalence of 23.5% in 2023. Objectives: This study aims to analyze the relationship between the history of exclusive breastfeeding, family size, and family income and the incidence of stunting among children under five in Labuhan Ratu Kampung, Banjar Ketapang, and Gunung Labuhan villages, North Lampung Regency. Methods: This study is a quantitative, analytic observational study employing a cross-sectional design. It was conducted from November 2024 to January 2025, involving 65 children under five years of age selected via cluster random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and anthropometric measurements and subsequently analyzed using the Gamma test at a 95% significance level (α=0.05). Results: A total of 35 under-fives (53.8%) were stunted. The results showed significant associations between exclusive breastfeeding history (p=0.01; Gamma=0.53), household size (p=0.04; Gamma=-0.50), and household income (p=0.01; Gamma=-1.00) and stunting status. The proportion of stunting was higher among under-fives who were not exclusively breastfed and who came from families with more than four members. Conclusions: Exclusive breastfeeding, household size, and income are associated with stunting in under-fives. Prevention should promote exclusive breastfeeding and growth monitoring while considering household resources and family size.
