Abstract

The rapid growth and development in the first 1,000 days of life makes monitoring children's growth and development very important at this age. Monitoring growth and development is expected to always be a priority for parents, especially mothers, from pregnancy to the age of 2 years. The problem of stunting is currently a global issue as well as in Indonesia. Growth monitoring can help monitor stunting conditions. The purpose of this study was to determine the health belief model analysis related to growth and development monitoring to prevent stunting in children by mothers in pregnancy classes. The method used was descriptive quantitative. The sample selection was carried out using a purpusive sampling technique at the Depok III Sleman Health Center in May 2023. The sample of this study amounted to 17 respondents. The results of the study stated that most respondents perceived stunting as not vulnerable to children by 65%, perceived seriousness of stunting by 53%, perceived benefits of preventing stunting were considered not useful by 65%, perceived obstacles were mostly no obstacles by 53%, the majority of cues to action were encouraged to act to prevent stunting by 59%, and most were confident regarding stunting prevention by 53%. Perceptions that are still not optimal can be caused by knowledge that is not optimal. So it is necessary to strengthen monitoring of child growth and development in pregnant women's classes, so that preparation when children grow can be more optimal.
