Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects the growth and development of children. Nutritional education for pregnant women is one of the important strategies in preventing stunting from an early age. Digital education media such as the AyuTingTing App is expected to enhance the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women in preventing stunting. This study aims to analyze the effect of nutritional education through the AyuTingTing App on the knowledge and attitudes of pregnant women in preventing stunting in the working area of UPT Puskesmas Batu Bua. This research is a quasi-experimental study with a pre-post test design with a control group. The sample consisted of 60 pregnant women divided into two groups: 30 in the intervention group (using the app) and 30 in the control group (using a booklet). Data were collected through knowledge and attitude questionnaires. Analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank test, Mann-Whitney test, and N-Gain analysis. There was a significant increase in knowledge scores in the intervention group after using the AyuTingTing App (p = 0.000) with an average N-Gain value of 0.64 (medium-high category). The increase in attitudes was also statistically significant (p = 0.000), but its effectiveness was classified as low (N-Gain = 0.15). The correlation between the increase in knowledge and attitudes showed a significant positive relationship (r = 0.382; p = 0.012). Nutritional education through the AyuTingTing App is effective in improving knowledge and influencing the attitudes of pregnant women in preventing stunting. This digital media has the potential to be integrated into maternal nutrition promotion programs, but it needs to be supported by interpersonal approaches to optimize attitude changes.

Stunting merupakan masalah gizi kronis yang berdampak pada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak. Edukasi gizi kepada ibu hamil merupakan salah satu strategi penting dalam pencegahan stunting sejak dini. Media edukasi berbasis digital seperti aplikasi AyuTingTing App diharapkan dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil dalam mencegah stunting. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh edukasi gizi melalui AyuTingTing App terhadap pengetahuan dan sikap ibu hamil dalam mencegah stunting di wilayah kerja UPT Puskesmas Batu Bua. Penelitian ini merupakan eksperimen semu (quasi experiment) dengan desain pre-post test with control group. Sampel berjumlah 60 ibu hamil yang terbagi dalam dua kelompok: 30 kelompok intervensi (menggunakan aplikasi) dan 30 kelompok kontrol (menggunakan booklet). Data dikumpulkan melalui kuesioner pengetahuan dan sikap. Analisis dilakukan menggunakan uji Wilcoxon Signed-Rank, Mann-Whitney, dan analisis N-Gain. Terdapat peningkatan signifikan skor pengetahuan pada kelompok intervensi setelah menggunakan AyuTingTing App (p = 0,000) dengan nilai rata-rata N-Gain sebesar 0,64 (kategori sedang-tinggi). Peningkatan sikap juga signifikan secara statistik (p = 0,000), namun efektivitasnya tergolong rendah (N-Gain = 0,15). Korelasi antara peningkatan pengetahuan dan sikap menunjukkan hubungan positif yang signifikan (r = 0,382; p = 0,012). Edukasi gizi melalui AyuTingTing App efektif meningkatkan pengetahuan dan memberikan pengaruh terhadap sikap ibu hamil dalam mencegah stunting. Media digital ini potensial untuk diintegrasikan dalam program promosi gizi ibu hamil, namun perlu didukung dengan pendekatan interpersonal untuk mengoptimalkan perubahan sikap.
