BACKGROUND: The prevalence of stunting problems in toddlers in 2015 in Aceh Province has proven to be very high due to various factors ranging from a mother’s educational background to socioeconomic family.
AIM: The purpose of this study was to identify models of factors that cause stunting in children aged 2–5 years in Aceh Province.
METHODS: To be able to identify the problem above, this quantitative research was reported in a descriptive analytic form with a cross-sectional design that was successfully conducted from April to December 2019. The data collected were a combination of field observation review and documentation. To facilitate data analysis, univariate and bivariate and multivariate have been applied to see the validation and reliability of this research question.
RESULTS: The results showed that the incidence of stunting in children included the level of education and knowledge of the mother, head of the family, number of family members, initiation of early breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding, age of weaning, supplementary feeding, and provision of Vitamin A (p < 0.05). The dominant factors affecting stunting were 16.7 times exclusive breastfeeding, 10.6 times because they were not given complementary feeding, 3.5 times because they did not get Vitamin A capsules, 1.7 times due to poor weaning age, and 1.5 times because the head of the family does not have a good income. Several variables did not affect the incidence of stunting, such as education of the head of the family (p = 0.482) and mother’s occupation (p = 0.992).
CONCLUSION: Stunting is caused by direct and indirect factors. Models in dealing with stunting can be done by maximizing better breastfeeding.
