HANDWASHING BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENT, DEVELOPMENTAL DEVIATION AND STUNTING DETECTION USING CARD TOWARDS HEALTHY Background: School-age children are a critical age group because at that age they are prone to health problems related to personal hygiene such as diarrhea, toothache, skin diseases and so on. Apart from personal hygiene issues, one of the risks of health problems that can cause growth and development problems for Kindergarten-aged children is nutrition. It is important for child development deviations to be detected early so that it can be quickly corrected for subsequent age development. Anthropometrically, assessing the nutritional status of school-age children can use the weight and height. A tool for monitoring the development of nutritional status of kindergarten children is Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Every child who is measured for height can immediately know their nutritional status. This study looked at a description of hand washing behavior, developmental deviations and stunting detection in kindergarten children.Purpose To assess hand washing behavior, developmental deviation and stunting detection in kindergarten children through KMS monitoring.Methods: The type of research used in this research was descriptive research. The research method used was a survey with a cross sectional approach. A total of 29 kindergarten children were assessed for hand washing behavior using WHO guidelines and assessed for stunting status using KMS Dinding.Results: The results of the study were mostly boys (51.7%) with ages 2 - 4 years, which is 62.1%. The results of the practice of washing children's hands using hand washing guidelines from the WHO obtained data as much as 21 children (75%) had been implemented well (6 - 7 steps) and less well by 7.1%. Early detection of child deviations using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire was 16 children (55.2%) according to development, but there were 9 children (31%) doubting results and 4 children (13.8%) likely to experience deviations. The results of measurements using KMS Dinding in kindergarten showed that there were 6.9% of children's measurement results in yellow, light green 86.2% and dark green of 6.9%. Conclusion: KMS Dinding can detect stunting in kindergarten children, there are children who may experience deviations and most children have washed their hands properly according to WHO guidelinesSuggestion provide motivation for students to get used to washing hands using soap in the school and home environment, in order to prevent diseases caused by dirty hands. The school is expected to continue to carry out early detection of children's growth and development so that improvements can be made immediately if a deviation is found in the child's growth and development Keywords: Hand Washing, Developmental Deviation, Nutritional Status ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Anak usia sekolah merupakan kelompok usia yang kritis karena pada usia tersebut rentan terkena masalah kesehatan terkait personal hygiene misalnya diare, sakit gigi, penyakit kulit dan sebagainya. Selain masalah personal hygiene, salah satu risiko masalah kesehatan yang dapat menyebabkan gangguan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak usia Taman Kanak-Kanak (TK) adalah masalah gizi. Penyimpangan perkembangan anak penting untuk dideteksi secara dini agar dapat dengan cepat dilakukan koreksi terhadap perkembangan usia selanjutnya . Secara antropometri penilaian status gizi anak usia sekolah dapat menggunakan indeks Berat Badan (BB) dan Tinggi Badan (TB). Alat untuk memantau perkembangan status gizi anak TK adalah Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Setiap anak yang diukur TB dapat segera diketahui status gizinya. Penelitian ini melihat gambaran perilaku cuci tangan, penyimpangan perkembangan dan deteksi stunting pada anak taman kanak-kanak.Tujuan: Menilai perilaku cuci tangan, peyimpangan perkembangan dan deteksi stunting pada anak taman kanak-kanak melalui pemantauan KMS.Metode: Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian deskriptif.

The purpose of the study was to assess the level of obesity among Kuwaiti pre-school children aged 0–5 years, and compare their nutritional status with the NCHS/CDC reference population. A Cross-sectional multi-stage stratified random sample of 7419 Kuwaiti children (3749 boys and 3670 girls), representing over 5% of the population at studied age was used for the study. Children below 42 months were randomly selected from five maternal and child health clinics, one from each of the five local authority areas of Kuwait. Children 42 months and above were selected from 24 kindergartens, proportionally from the 5 local authority areas. Weights and heights of children were measured. Obesity was defined as weight-for-height (W/H) 2.00 to 5.00 standard deviation (SD) scores of the NCHS/CDC reference population. Underweight and short stature were defined as W/H and height-for-age (H/A) − 4.00 to − 2.00 SD scores, respectively. Obesity among Kuwaiti pre-school children was found to be 8.2% (7.5% in males and 9.0% in females). Underweight was found to be almost similarly distributed among both genders (4.2% in males and 4.1% in females). Short stature was found to be 5.8% (6.1% in males and 5.6% in females). Kuwaiti pre-school children aged 0–5 years were, for the most part, found to be slightly heavier and shorter than American children of the reference population. The children were also found to be heavier and taller than a decade ago. The nutritional status of the children improved during the last ten years.

Introduction: Around 25% of the total population in Nepal is adolescents (10 to 19 years old). Nutritional programs in Nepal are targeted to young children and pregnant women but neglected among adolescent. Such approach may result poor nutritional status among them. This will lead to poor health outcome and poor academic performance among school children. Thus we aimed to study the nutritional status assessment of adolescent school children in Solukhumbu.Material and Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted over a period of two and half months (May-July 2018) in a government school at Salleri, Solukhumbu, Nepal. Study participants are 192 students, both male and female, from the age group 10 to 17 years old. Body Mass Index and Height for age was determined by anthropometry. The interview was done by using structured questionnaires to elicit socio-demographic variables.Results: Among 192 students age 10-17 years old, 122(63.5%) were female and 70(36.5%) were male. The majority was Janajati 160(83.3%), Major religion was Hindu 99(51.6%) and Buddhist 93(43.2%), Agriculture was the major occupation of both parents. The literacy rate of the father is 63.2% and mother is 39.9 percent. The majority are underweight 53(27.6%), overweight 11 (5.7%) and obese 3(1.6%). Median Height for Age was 94 (±6.5) with a minimum of 76 and a maximum of 112 and 99(51.6%) are stunted.Conclusions: Stunting, underweight and overweight were prevalent among adolescent children in the school. The causes of these problems should be identified by doing further research and intervention should be done accordingly.
