Abstract

BACKGROUND: In Indonesia, the prevalence of stunting which is still above the limit set by WHO, requires all parties to be involved in preventing stunting. To overcome this problem, the government is strengthening basic health efforts through the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach.

AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between the index of healthy families and the incidence of stunting among toddlers.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: The design of this study was cross-sectional. The population in this study were all families with children aged 0–59 months who were in the working area of the Korobono Health Center. Based on the preliminary study, the number of children aged 0–59 months was 544 people. The number of sample was 202 selected by simple random sampling. Chi-square tests were used to examine the association between stunting and health family index and other related factors.

RESULTS: The prevalence of stunting was 36.1%. Hypothesis test results show a relationship between the index of healthy families and the incidence of stunting (p = 0.008).

CONCLUSIONS: Increasing the healthy family index can reduce the risk of stunting in the family. This research is expected to be an input for the public health center to improve the implementation and evaluation of the Healthy Indonesia Program with a Family Approach.
