Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Dalam Pencegahan Stunting Melalui Pembentukan Kelompok Ibu Cerdas Anak Sehat (Bu Dase)

Abstract

Stunting is a condition where the length or body size does not match or is smaller for age. Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem because it is a condition of malnutrition associated with a history of malnutrition. Stunting refers to children who are too small for their age, because stunted children can suffer severe and irreversible physical and cognitive damage related to stunting. This community service aims to increase public awareness of stunting prevention through health promotion through public education and the establishment of the Ibu Cerdas Anak Sehat (BU DASE). The results of the final evaluation are that participants have a good understanding of the identification and prevention of stunting at an early stage . The formation of a group of mothers with healthy children will later help health workers disseminate stunting prevention to the community.
