Abstract

Stunting is a condition where children under five fail to grow and appear short compared to their age. In Batam, the incidence of stunting in 2022 will still be high, namely 2.42%. This figure still needs to be reduced to reach the target of zero stunting by 2024. Many factors cause stunting, one of which is that families are not able to care for children under five independently due to lack of exposure to health information. One management that can be done is by providing health education. Nurses are expected to be able to make families independent through providing health education. The aim of this research is to analyze cases managed by providing health education to family members of stunting toddlers to increase family independence in the working area of the Kabil Puskesmas, Batam City in 2023. The results of the analysis found an increase in the independence of families with stunting toddlers, marked by an increase in knowledge after the education intervention. health. It is hoped that nurses will have the insight and skills to be able to carry out actions to provide health education well and for future researchers to apply and develop the concepts in this research to cases of other chronic diseases.
