Behavioral and Environmental Risk Factors Related to Stunting Incidents in Toddlers
Abstract
Stunting is a growth disorder or condition of failure to thrive in children due to lack of nutrition and repeated infections in the first 1000 days of life, causing the child to be shorter than his age. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with stunting in toddlers in Pulo Ampel District in 2021. This study uses an observational study with approach case control. The instruments used are questionnaires and observation sheets. Sample in this study consisted of 72 case and 72 control by using purposive sampling technique. From the results of the univariate test in the stunting toddler group, it was found that the knowledge of mothers was not good (90,3%), low economic status (98,6%), the availability of clean water facilities that did not meet the requirements (8,3%), latrines were not available (13,9%), and poor feeding patterns (76,4%). Statistical test using Chi Square, obtained the results of mother’s knowledge (Pv = 0,000), economic status (Pv = 0,000), availability of clean water facilities (Pv = 0,012), availability of latrines (Pv=0,003), and feeding patterns (Pv = 0,000) has a significant relationship with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. Suggestions from this research are expected for the Puskesmas to provide counseling with video media and booklets about stunting and nutritious eating for toddlers.
