Gemati Stunting: Gerakan Gizi Ayam Telur Ikan untuk Peningkatan Hb dan IMT Ibu Hamil sebagai Upaya Pencegahan Stunting Sejak Janin

Abstract

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that can be prevented during pregnancy through balanced nutrition fulfillment. This community service activity aimed to increase Hemoglobin (Hb) levels and Body Mass Index (BMI)/body weight of pregnant women through the Chicken, Egg, and Fish Nutrition Movement (Gemati Stunting). The implementation method included balanced nutrition education, training, and cooking demonstrations of local animal protein-based processed foods (chicken nuggets and milkfish nuggets/rolade), as well as supplementary feeding (PMT) for 10 days to 33 pregnant women in the working area of Wedi Public Health Center, Klaten Regency. Evaluation was conducted by measuring Hb levels and body weight before and after the intervention. The results showed that after 10 days of PMT administration, 29 pregnant women (87.9%) experienced weight gain with an average increase of 0.78 kg (from 64.68 kg to 65.46 kg). Furthermore, 26 pregnant women (78.8%) experienced an increase in Hb levels with an average increase of 0.61 g/dL (from 11.18 g/dL to 11.79 g/dL). In conclusion, supplementary feeding interventions based on local animal protein effectively helped increase pregnant women's body weight and Hb levels as a preventive measure against stunting from the fetal period
