Abstract

Stunting is a global problem that has a long-term impact on the quality of human resources. Stunting prevention can be achieved throughout supervision during the first 1000 days of life. The study aimed to examine whether health-conscious families can reduce and prevent stunting. The study location was in the operational area of Mifa Bersaudara Ltd. from March to September 2019. The research method used in this study was a quantitative observational study using a cross-sectional design. The instrument assessing the family health indicators issued by the Ministry of Health of Indonesia was used. The data were analysed using the health-conscious family index formula and Z-score for the infant nutritional status. The study participants were 293 families with toddlers. The study results show that the families living surrounding the operational area of the Mifa Bersaudara Ltd. are mostly pre-healthy families (51.5%) with more than 30% (n=88) of stunted children. There is a relationship between a healthy family index and stunting (p-value<0.05). The logistic regression test shows a significant relationship between the incidence of stunting and the families following the family planning program, exclusive breastfeeding, toddlers receiving monitoring, and no family members who smoke. Stunting is associated with health-conscious families. The incidence of stunting in infants and toddlers is associated with families that plan the pregnancy spacing (family planning), babies getting exclusive breastfeeding, toddlers getting growth monitoring, and no smoking family members.
