Abstract
Background. Stunting is a condition where toddlers have a body length that is less when compared to age. Stunting has a very detrimental impact, both in the short and long term. Reducing the prevalence of stunting is prioritized to achieve Indonesia's target of 14%. The government, namely BKKBN, has developed a national action plan through the stunting risk family approach. Therefore, this researcher wants to analyze the incidence of stunting based on family determinants.
Objective. To analyze the relationship between family determinants and the incidence of stunting in toddlers in Karossa District.
Methods. The type of research used is quantitative analytic observational approach with cross sectional study design. The sample was 321 families. The sampling technique was Proportionate stratified random sampling and purposive random sampling. Data analysis using STATA program with chisquare test and logistic regression
Results. There were 7 variables studied on the incidence of stunting based on family determinants, 4 of which had an association with the incidence of stunting, namely inadequate latrines, PUS too old, PUS too many and PUS not participating in modern family planning. Logistic regression analysis showed that families with inadequate latrines, not participating in modern family planning and having many children had a 93.1% chance of having children.
Conclusion. This study found that families with improper latrines, not participating in modern family planning and having many children are associated with the incidence of stunting in children under five in Karossa Sub-district. The government needs to provide routine counseling or education on the importance of proper sanitation and counseling on the benefits of using modern family planning to regulate birth spacing as well as the number of children in order to help ensure that every child gets attention, adequate nutrition, and optimal health
