Abstract

Latar Belakang: Stunting, masalah gizi kronis pada balita, tetap menjadi perhatian kesehatan masyarakat baik secara global maupun nasional. Kondisi ini mencerminkan dampak kumulatif dari asupan gizi yang tidak memadai dan praktik pengasuhan yang kurang optimal. Gaya pengasuhan milenial dan pola makan berperan penting dalam memengaruhi kejadian stunting, terutama di wilayah seperti Banjarmasin, Indonesia.

Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara gaya pengasuhan milenial, pola makan, dan kejadian stunting pada balita di wilayah Puskesmas Pekauman.

Metode: Penelitian cross-sectional dilakukan pada Mei 2024 dengan melibatkan 127 balita berusia 2–5 tahun beserta orang tua mereka. Data dikumpulkan melalui pengukuran tinggi badan serta kuesioner yang divalidasi mengenai gaya pengasuhan dan praktik pola makan. Analisis hubungan dilakukan menggunakan uji chi-square dengan tingkat signifikansi α = 0,05.

Hasil: Penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 64,6% balita mengalami stunting. Di antara orang tua, 61,4% menunjukkan gaya pengasuhan yang "kurang" efektif, dan 61,4% memberikan pola makan yang tidak memenuhi rekomendasi gizi. Terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara gaya pengasuhan, pola makan, dan kejadian stunting (p < 0,001). Praktik pengasuhan yang kurang baik dan pola makan yang tidak memadai diidentifikasi sebagai faktor utama yang berkontribusi terhadap stunting.

Kesimpulan: Gaya pengasuhan milenial dan pola makan secara signifikan memengaruhi kejadian stunting. Intervensi untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan orang tua dan praktik pola makan sangat penting dalam menangani stunting pada balita. Penelitian di masa depan perlu mengeksplorasi strategi inovatif, termasuk platform digital, untuk meningkatkan keterlibatan orang tua dan edukasi gizi.

 

 

Background: In millennials, the parenting style and diet applied by parents to toddlers are still not optimal, thus increasing the risk of stunting. Millennial parents are those aged 20-39 years, born between 1980-2000. Poor diet is caused by irregular eating habits and inadequate nutritional intake, which leads to a deficiency of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats in children.

Obyektif: Untuk mengetahui korelasi antara gaya pengasuhan milenial dan pola makan dengan kejadian stunting di Puskesmas Pekauman, Banjarmasin.

Metode: Menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan desain cross-sectional. Jumlah sampel sebanyak 127 orang tua dan balita, dengan teknik purposive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui instrumen kuesioner dan pemeriksaan antropometri, analisis hipotesis dengan uji Chi Square.

Hasil: Sebagian besar ibu berusia 20-30 tahun adalah 69,3% dan pendidikan terakhir mereka adalah sekolah menengah/SMK 60,6%. Usia balita sebagian besar 48-60 bulan 61,4% dengan jenis kelamin perempuan 50,4%. Gaya pengasuhan milenial berada dalam kategori suboptimal sebesar 61,4%, pola makan balita berada dalam kategori suboptimal sebesar 60,5% dan insiden stunting balita terbesar sebesar 64,6%. Hasil uji Chi kuadrat memiliki tingkat yang signifikan antara gaya pengasuhan milenial dan pola makan hingga kejadian stunting dengan p-value 0,000<0,05.

Kesimpulan: Gaya pengasuhan milenial dan diet balita terkait erat dengan stunting. Dianjurkan agar orang tua lebih rutin memeriksa tumbuh kembang anak, baik berat badan maupun tinggi badan di posyandu kesehatan terpadu untuk mencegah stunting.
