Abstract

Background: Stunting is a condition of failure to thrive in children under five due to chronic malnutrition, especially in the first 1000 days of life. A child is classified as stunted if the length or height according to age is lower than the applicable national standard. It is essential to measure stunting as early as possible to avoid long-term adverse effects such as stunted child development. According to data from the Ministry of Health’s Basic Health Research in 2018, 30.8% of children were stunted. Although the prevalence of stunting decreased from 37.2% in 2013, the stunting rate remains high because the WHO standard sets the stunting rate below 20%. Jrakah Village, Selo sub-district, is one of the areas with an increased incidence of stunting that there were 32 children with stunting.

Objective: This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of the subjects who were given health education and those who did not follow the health education.

Method: This type of research is descriptive research with a pre-test and post-test group design. We involved 34 cadres who applied health education about Stunting at Boyolali district

Results: The average score of cadres who were given health education about stunting was higher than cadres who were not given health education about stunting. 13 cadres received health education about stunting and 10 for cadres who were not given health education about stunting.

Conclusion: The highest average score was obtained in subjects who were given health education about stunting.
