ABSTRACT<br /><br />Background: The fi rst three years is a golden period or critical period for optimum growth and development process. Mothers at work will affect their role in taking care of their children resulting in limited time to feed the children.  In 2004 it was estimated that 23% of children had development disorder; abnormal growth of infants occured 80% in mothers at work. In 2007 in Indonesia the prevalence of malnourished underfi ves was 8.8% and malnourished was 19.2%. At the Province of Sulawesi Tenggara the prevalence of under nutrition is 2.7% and undernourishment is 13.6%. At Kendari Municipality the prevalence of malnutrition is 0.9% and undernourishment is 3.2%.<br /> <br />Objective: To identify the association between occupational status of mothers and nutrition status and development of children of 1 – 3 years at Subdistrict of Kendari Municipality.<br /><br />Method: This observational research used a cross sectional design and was carried out at Subdistrict of Kendari Municipality. Population were all children of 1–3 years. Subjects consisted of 150 children taken with systematic random sampling technique. Research instruments were questionnaire, recall list, Denver II Scale and length measurement. Data analysis used chi square statistical test and logistic regression with confi dence interval (CI) 95%.<br /><br />Result: There were no signifi cant association between occupation of mothers (p=0.106; OR=1.84), education of mothers (p=0.518; OR=1.31), income percapita (p=0.934; OR=0.91) and nutritional status of children. There was signifi cant association between feeding pattern (p=0.008; OR=2.58), duration of rearing (p=0.024; OR=2.28) and nutritional status of children. There was no signifi cant association between occupation of mothers (p=0.275; OR=1.57), education of mothers (p=0.674; OR=1.23) income percapita (p=0.516; OR=0.74) and child development. There was signifi cant association between duration of rearing and child development (p=0.029; OR=2.30). There was signifi cant association between occupation of mothers and feeding pattern of children (p=0.32; OR=2.30). Factor of feeding pattern had the greatest contribution (3%) to undernourished nutrition status; and duration of rearing contributed as much as 3% to delayed child development.<br /> <br />Conclusion: There was no association between occupational status of mothers and nutrition status and development of children of 1-3 years. There was association between occupational status of mothers and feeding pattern of children of 1 – 3 years. There was association between feeding pattern and nutrition status of children of 1- 3 years at Subdistrict of Kadia, Kendari Municipality.<br /><br />KEYWORDS: occupational status of mothers, nutritional status, child development <br /><br />ABSTRAK<br /><br />Latar belakang: Tiga tahun pertama merupakan periode keemasan (golden period)ataumasakritis (critical period) untuk optimalisasi proses tumbuh kembang. Ibu yang bekerja akan menghambat peran ibu dalam merawat dan mengasuh anak sehingga anak tidak mendapat waktu cukup untuk urusan makan. Pada tahun 2004 diperkirakan sekitar 23% anak mengalami gangguan perkembangan dan 80% perkembangan bayi tidak normal pada ibu yang bekerja. Pada tahun 2007, di Indonesia prevalensi balita gizi buruk 8,8% dan gizi kurang 19,2 %. Untuk daerah Provinsi Sulawesi Tenggara, gizi buruk dan kurang  masing-masing sebesar 2,7% dan 13,6%, sedangkan di Kota Kendari 0,9%  dan 3,2%. <br /><br />Tujuan: Mengetahui hubungan status pekerjaan ibu dengan status gizi dan perkembangan anak usia 1–3 tahun di Kecamatan Kadia, Kota Kendari.<br /><br />Metode: Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian observasional dengan rancangan cross sectional. Wilayah penelitian di Kecamatan Kadia, Kota Kendari. Populasi adalah seluruh anak balita dengan usia 1–3 tahun di Kecamatan Kadia Kota Kendari. Sampel dalam penelitian sebanyak 156 subjek. Pengambilan sampel dengan systematic random sampling. Instrumen yang digunakan dalam penelitian adalah kuesioner, daftar recall, Denver II Dacin dan panjang badan. Analisis data dengan uji Chi-Square dan regresi logistik dengan confi dence interval (CI) 95%.<br /><br />Hasil: Tidak terdapat hubungan signifi kan antara pekerjaan ibu (p=0,106; OR=1,84), pendidikan ibu (p=0,518; OR=1,31), pendapatan per kapita (p=0,934; OR=0,91) dengan status gizi anak. Terdapat hubungan yang signifi kan antara pola asuh makan (p= 0,008; OR=2,58), waktu pengasuhan (p=0,024; OR=2,28) dengan status gizi anak. Tidak terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara pekerjaan ibu (p=0,275; OR=1,57), pendidikan ibu (p=0,674; OR=1,23), pendapatan per kapita (p=0,516;<br />OR=0,74) dengan perkembangan anak. Terdapat hubungan signifi kan antara waktu pengasuhan dengan perkembangan anak (p=0,029; OR=2,30). Terdapat hubungan signifi kan antara pekerjaan ibu dengan pola asuh makan anak (p=0,030; OR=2,30). Faktor yang kontribusinya paling besar terhadap status gizi kurang adalah pola asuh makan yaitu sebesar 3%, sedangkan terhadap keterlambatan perkembangan anak adalah waktu pengasuhan yaitu sebesar 3%.<br /><br />Kesimpulan: Status pekerjaan ibu tidak berhubungan dengan status gizi dan perkembangan anak usia 1-3 tahun, Status pekerjaan ibu berhubungan dengan pola asuh makan anak usia 1-3 tahun, Pola asuh makan berhubungan dengan status gizi anak usia 1-3 tahun di Kecamatan Kadia, Kota Kendari.<br /><br />KATA KUNCI: pekerjaan ibu, perkembangan anak, status gizi anak

Category and threshold (Z score) nutritional status of children based on body mass index according to age (IMT / U) of children aged 5-18 years. Learning achievement is measured by the report card grades for mathematics subjects. Data analysis with Pearson product moment test and Chi-square. The results showed the nutritional status of children; thin: 6 people (10.7%), normal: 37 people (66.1%), fat: 4 people (7.1%) and obese: 9 people (16.1%). The average value of mathematics subjects is 93.16 ± 3.677. There is a relationship between nutritional status and learning achievement in mathematics (p = 0,000). Nutrition problems in children both undernutrition and over nutrition (overweight and obese) need to be addressed so that learning achievement in the future will be optimal.

Background: Nutritional status is the best indicator of the child health. Malnutrition has both short and long term adverse ramifications. As per NFHS III 47% children are stunted in the state of Chhattisgarh. However still many communities in the tribal dominated and naxal affected state may remain affected, hence the study was planned to identify the nutritional status of children and find out its determinant.Methods: Present cross-sectional study was conducted among 12-59 months children in the urban slum of Jagdalpur city, Bastar region of Chhattisgarh. Predesigned and pretested questionnaire was administered to the caregiver of the child, information on socio-demographic characteristics was obtained and anthropometric measurements were taken. Statistical Analysis: all frequencies were derived for completeness of data. WHO Anthro Software version 3.1.0 was used to classify the malnutrition status. Chi-square test was applied to find association between dependent variables.Results: Out of 225 children 53.3% were boys and 46.7% were girls. The overall prevalence of underweight stunting and wasting was 28.4%, 41.3%, and 19.1% respectively.Conclusions: Prevalence of underweight has reduced in the district over a period of years. However high level of stunting, a sign of chronic hunger points towards the pivotal role of socio-demographic and behavioral practices prevalent in the district. Interaction with health system in the form of ANC, institutional delivery and safeguarding effective 100% immunization coverage has shown preventive effect.
