AIM: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of training in improving health cadres’ ability in early detection and risk factors of stunting in toddlers. METHODS: The research method used was a quasi-experimental non-randomized pre- and post-test only control design. The independent variable was cadre training. The training was conducted through learning activities on health cadres using lecture method, question and answer method, and brainstorming accompanied by training booklets/modules and demonstrations. The dependent variable was knowledge, attitudes, and skills in detecting stunting and risk factors for stunting in children under-five. There were 53 health cadres as samples scattered in the Tomini Community Health Center with the purposive sampling technique. The data analysis technique used was a parametric statistical paired sample t-test. RESULTS: Training of health cadres effectively increased health cadres’ ability to detect stunting and risk factors for stunting in children under-five. The different test results for each variable that showed the pre-post-test p-value for knowledge, attitudes, and health cadres’ skills were 0.000, smaller than the significance level of 0.05 (p < 0.05). Besides, the mean score of each variable obtained after training for health cadres was more significant than before training, including knowledge 17.392 >12.264, attitudes 33.603 >27.226, and skills 90.019 >62113.

Human growth and development is very important because human will never develop without development and growth. The factors that influence human growth and development are not widely known, one of which is the fulfillment of balanced nutrition. Inadequate nutritional intake will have an impact on the growth and development of children under five years of age for long-term, which are permanent and difficult to repair. Likewise, maternal health will affect mother’s activities in taking care of family. Complementary feeding (MPASI) and food for mothers can be made from local ingredients so that children under five years of age get adequate nutritional intake according to their age. Moringa leaf is an ingredient that is rich in macro and micro nutrients. The high nutritional value in Moringa leaves can be used to meet the nutritional needs of breastfeeding mothers and children under five years of age in their infancy (Aminah et al, 2015). The objective of this community service was to improve the health status of mothers and children through utilization of Moringa leaves. This activity was carried out on September 14, 2020 at PosyanduMelati 2, Harjosari II Village, Medan Amplas Subdistrict. Having participated in this activity, the knowledge of mothers about the making of ingredients from Moringa leaves was increased and the knowledge of mothers about the benefits of Moringa leaves was also increased.

Monitoring the development of early childhood is a family task, but not all families can carry out this task optimally. Busyness, lack of knowledge, and the socio-economic condition of the family are factors that do not support this effort. Therefore, monitoring children's growth is coordinated through the role of the community through the Posyandu program. Posyandu, as one of the community-based health efforts, has a vital role in providing convenience to the community in obtaining essential services. To achieve this goal requires the role of a Posyandu cadre who has the knowledge and skills in monitoring child growth and development. The method of activity is carried out by providing material for child development and practicum on how to assess and measure children's growth and development. The results of activities were measured through differences in the results of the pre-test and post-test, as well as the results of observations when cadres provided services during Posyandu implementation. The results of the activity showed that the training in monitoring the growth and development of children under five given to Posyandu cadres could increase the knowledge and skills of cadres in providing services at Posyandu related to monitoring the growth and development of children under five.

The incidence of short children or commonly known as stunting is one of the nutritional problems experienced by toddlers in the world today. In 2017 22.2% or around 150.8 million children under five in the world were stunted. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the mentoring menu model on the growth and development of stunting children in Cinta Raja Village, East Langsa District. This type of research used in this research is quasi-experimental research (quasi experiment) with a pretest posttest design non equivalent control group design. In this study the researchers compared the two research groups with the number of respondents 34 children aged 24-60 months. There is a significant effect of menu assistance on the increase in the height of stunting of children under five in Cinta Raja Village, Langsa Timur District, Langsa City. there is a correlation between the increase in height before being given menu assistance (pretest) and after being given menu assistance (post test). It can be concluded that the increase in Height in the stunting and normal under-five group is significant.

The success of development is closely related to the quality of good human resources. Establishment of optimal quality of human resources, both physically and psychologically is very dependent on the process of growing and developing at an early age. Monitoring the growth and development of children that is carried out appropriately and directed guarantees more optimal growth and development of children that makes children of high quality, intelligent, responsible and efficient for the nation and the nation. Based on the results of observations, the Posyandu of Beji Sidoarum has been limited to growth checks only in the implementation of posyandu related to growth, namely weighing and measuring height. Development checks have never been carried out because of the limitations of cadres and not every month the puskesmas midwives conduct health checks at the posyandu. There has never been a Posyandu health cadre who participated in the early growth growth stimulation and intervention training. Therefore, increasing education for cadres related to growth and development is needed to improve the quantity and quality of services at this posyandu. Outputs produced are 1) Compilation of booklets/modules as information media, 2) results of examination of fallen children under five, 3) Ability of cadres and mothers of children under five in stimulation and early detection of development using KPSP, 4) publication. The results obtained by cadres and mothers of children under five in carrying out stimulation and early detection using KPSP independently. Based on this, it is expected that the implementation of activities for monitoring the growth of children under five can run routinely at the posyandu.Keywords: early detection, training, stimulation, growth and development

The growth and development of children under five is very important to be monitored, considering that this period is the golden age period during the child's development. Some children experience developmental delays or disorders. One of the developmental disorders that is often encountered is a delay in speech. Early detection of language and speech disorders will greatly help parents to describe whether their children have speech delays or other disorders. However, many parents do not have sufficient knowledge about language and speech disorders. Based on this condition, this study aims to determine the effectiveness of early detection of language and speech disorders at Anyelir Posyandu and Sekar Asih Posyandu to raise awareness about the importance of early detection for toddlers. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection through the technique of interview, observation, and documentation study. The results of the study show that the level of awareness among parents increases towards the growth and development of their child's language after parents get information about early detection of language and speech disorders. By doing early detection on the problems experienced by their children, parents can get further information and treatment if needed.
