Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hubungan perilaku Kadarzi dengan kejadian stunting pada balita di Puskesmas Motolohu. Penelitian ini merupakan rancangan penelitian analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional menggunakan uji Chi square dengan sampel berjumlah 88 balita. Hasil uji statistik menunjukkan bahwa responden dengan menimbang berat badan secara tidak teratur sebanyak 59 balita (67.0%), pemberian ASI eksklusif sebanyak 58 responden (65.9%), konsumsi makanan beraneka ragam sebanyak 56 responden (63.6%), penggunaan garam beryodium sebanyak 80 responden (90.9%), minum suplemen gizi sebanyak 68 balita (77.3%). perilaku kadarzi menimbang berat badan (p-value 0.002 ≤ α 0.05), pemberian ASI eksklusif (p-value 0.003 ≤ α 0.05), konsumsi makanan beraneka ragam (p-  value 0.034 ≤ α 0.05), penggunaan garam beryodium (p-value 0.019 ≤ α 0.05), minum suplemen gizi (nilai p- value 0.048 ≤ α 0.05) dengan kejadian stunting pada balita. Kesimpulan ada hubungan perilaku Kadarzi dengan kejadian stunting pada balita di Puskesmas Motolohu.

Abstract

Nutrition-conscious family behavior (Kadarzi) is a movement related to the Family Health and Nutrition Program (KKG), which is part of the Family Nutrition Improvement Business (UPGK) to prevent diseases that can be caused if nutrients are not appropriately met, such as stunting. The novelty of this study is that it examines Nutrition Conscious Family Behavior (Kadazi) with the incidence of stunting in toddlers. Stunting is a condition where children experience growth disorders. The child's height is not by his age This study aimed to determine the relationship between Kadarzi's behavior and the incidence of stunting in toddlers at the Motolohu Health Center. This study is an analytical research design with a cross-sectional approach using the Chi-square test with a sample of 88 toddlers. The results of the statistical test showed that respondents weighing weight irregularly as many as 59 toddlers (67.0%), exclusive breastfeeding as many as 58 respondents (65.9%), consumption of variegated foods as many as 56 respondents (63.6%), used iodized salt as many as 80 respondents (90.9%), taking nutritional supplements as many as 68 toddlers (77.3%). Kadarzi's behavior of weighing body weight (p-value 0.002 ≤ α 0.05), exclusive breastfeeding (p-value 0.003 ≤ α 0.05), consumption of variegated foods (p-value 0.034 ≤ α 0.05), use of iodized salt (p-value 0.019 ≤ α 0.05), drinking nutritional supplements (p-value 0.048 ≤ α 0.05) with stunting incidence in toddlers. The conclusion is that Kadarzi's behavior is related to the incidence of stunting in toddlers at the Motolohu Health Center.
