Abstract

Stunting is the delay in the growth process in children under five years of age as a result of chronic undernutrition so that children are too short for their age. Prevention efforts to prevent stunting include involving cadres in the First 1,000 days of life program which is the front line in posyandu services after village midwives, so that a good cadre role is needed in preventing stunting more effectively. The research design used a quasi experimental with Pretest and Posttest design. The samples obtained amount to 46 cadres and appropriate to inclusion and exclusion criteria. The data was analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results showed that the frequency of knowledge and attitudes after training increased by 89.1% and 60.9%. There is an effect of posyandu cadre training on knowledge in preventing stunting (p=0.000) but there was no effect of posyandu cadre training on attitudes in preventing stunting (p=0.371). In conclusion, the training that was carried out influenced the cadres knowledge more than the cadres attitudes.
