BACKGROUND: The nutritional situation for toddler in Indonesia is based on the Riskesdas data report that Indonesia still has problems with underweight, stunting, and wasting. Fulfillment of nutritional status information on an individual basis can be fulfilled using the online application system. Problem the quality of data on nutritional status and the process of management that is still being carried out conventionally. It is necessary to design an application that is user-friendly for nutrition workers to monitor the nutritional status and growth and development of children under five in Aceh.
AIM: Analyzing the Effectiveness of Using Android Smartphone-Based Applications for Monitoring Nutrition for Toddlers in the city of Banda Aceh.
METHODS: This study uses a Research and Development design. This research has been conducted in the Banda Aceh City Region, considering that data on malnutrition is still high, data are available underweight, wasting, and stunting. Primary and secondary data were conducted by interview and observation using a questionnaire training using the Android-based PSG toddler application tool. The research stages were carried out by collect data and proceed with system design using the method prototyping. The validity of the data in this study was carried out using triangulation techniques. Data in the form of words will be processed into meaningful sentences so that information is obtained required. The data analysis phase consisted of data reduction and presentation data (data display) and concluding (conclusion: Drawing/verifying).
RESULTS: The results showed that the PSG toddler application had a positive impact and significantly affected the quality of nutrition data, especially nutritional status data toddlers. The Android-based PSG toddler application has a good quality value compared with the use of a nutritional status monitoring book (PSG conventionally). An electronic-based system (PSG toddler application based on android) is of higher quality sound. The output of data analysis is more, both for monitoring and evaluation planning nutrition program and supporting decision-making in handling problems nutritional problems in Banda Aceh. The research results also show an Android-based application, particularly the PSG toddler application, as user-friendliness and are more user-friendly. Application following other nutritional status monitoring programs in calculating nutritional status, PSG Toddlers must cover four indexes: BB/U index, TB/U index, index BB/TB, and index body mass index/U.
CONCLUSION: The use of the Android-based Toddler Nutrition Monitoring Application is effective in monitoring the growth and development of toddler nutrition in Aceh.Downloads
