SOSIALISASI DAN PEMBEKALAN DASAR MPASI SEBAGAI UPAYA PENCEGAHAN STUNTING PADA BALITA DI DESA SUNGAI LIPAI, KAMPAR

Abstract

Stunting is a condition of poor nutritional status or very poor (malnutrition) in the long term (chronic) due to chronic malnutrition so that children become too short for their age. Data collection in this survey was carried out by means of interviews with village officials and face-to-face with people who live in Sungai Lipai Village, Gunung Sahilan District, Kampar Regency, Riau Province, which is also the aim of this survey. The method applied is identification of community patterns based on descriptive analysis obtained from community perceptions and problems that affect stunting. In Sungai Lipai Village, there were 2 toddlers identified as stunting, namely one toddler in the Sungai Air Hitam hamlet and one toddler in the Talang Tansi hamlet. To prevent an increase in the number of toddlers identified as stunting, our KUKERTA group has provided socialization on the effects of stunting and basic training on how to make complementary foods to meet nutritional needs in preventing stunting. Thanks to the cooperation of the University of Riau KUKERTA Group, Sungai Lipai Village, Sungai Lipai Village Posyandu Cadres, and the community based on socio-cultural analysis with descriptive analysis the KUKERTA activities of the University of Riau in Sungai Lipai Village ran smoothly and as expected.
