Abstract

Stunting is a nutritional problem caused by a prolonged lack of nutritional intake during the first 1,000 days of life (HPK), which is a critical period, resulting in growth disorders in children, namely a child's height is lower or shorter (dwarfism) than the standard for their age.The Indonesian Nutrition Status Survey (SSGI) in 2022 resulted in a national stunting rate of 21.6%. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of Stunting Education Flip Sheet Media and Pocket Books on the knowledge and attitudes of mothers of toddlers in the work area of ​​the Penyengat Olak. The research used a pre-experiment design with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. A total of 94 mothers of toddlers were selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire administered before and after the educational intervention. The intervention consisted of health education sessions utilizing flipcharts and pocket books as learning media. Statistical analysis was conducted using the paired sample t-test to examine differences in knowledge and attitude scores before and after the intervention, with a significance level set at p < 0.05. The results showed a statistically significant increase in both knowledge and attitude scores after the intervention (p < 0.05), indicating that the use of flipcharts and pocket books effectively improved mothers' understanding and attitudes toward stunting prevention. In conclusion, stunting education delivered through flipcharts and pocket books is an effective strategy to enhance maternal knowledge and attitudes, and it can be recommended as an educational tool in community health programs to support stunting prevention efforts.
