Abstract

Background: The prevalence of stunting and under-nutrition of children under five in Nunukan Regency, Sebatik Island is still quite high. An important factor for children's health is the mother's knowledge and behavior, as a person who plays a role in child care. Stunting, malnutrition and undernutrition have complex causes. So it needs an in-depth study. Objection. To find out and examine more deeply the influence of nutritional knowledge, parenting patterns on feeding patterns and the incidence of stunting in Sungai Limau Village and Aji Kuning Village, Sebatik Island, North Kalimantan. Method. Descriptive qualitative research with source triangulation approach. Data were collected using in-depth interviews, documentation, and observation. Results. 7 respondents consisting of parents of children who have good nutritional status and are stunted. Most of the respondents do not understand the concept of balanced nutrition properly. The practice of providing nutritious food for children is still not optimal and problems with hygiene, water, and sanitation are also problems at the research location. Conclusions. Nutrition knowledge related to balanced nutrition is still lacking and is constrained by economic problems so that the practice of daily feeding, especially for children, is still not optimal. The limited availability of clean water and sanitation is also an obstacle in the practice of healthy feeding.
