Stunting is a chronic condition that describes stunted growth due to long-term malnutrition. Incidence of stunting is caused by not optimal nutrition. The purpose of this study in general was to find the effect of the Health Belief Model theory on effort to prevent stunting in toddlers through nutritional fulfillment behavior. The research is a quantitative study with an observational method and a cross sectional approach. The sample was 243 stunting mothers. The independent variables are perceived susceptibility, severity, barriers, cues to action, perceived benefit and self efficacy. Nutritional fulfillment behavior as an intermediate variable and stunting prevention as a dependent variable. The result show that simultaneously there was an effect of variabel X on Y with a significance value of 0,000 and a large effect of 10,2%. And simultaneously shows that there is an effect of variable X and Y of Z with a significance value of 0,000 and a large effect of 12,8%. Data analysis used path analysis. Simultaneousy, there is an effect of the application of Health belief model theory on effort to prevent stunting in toddlers through nutritional fulfillment behavior.

Introduction: Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer in women in the world and the second most common cancer among Indian women. About 23% of the global cervical cancer burden is beard by India alone. The screening of cervical cancer is commonly done by a pap smear, visual inspection of acetic acid, human papillomavirus DNA testing etc. These identify precancerous changes which when treated can prevent the development of cancer. The objectives of the study were to screen the patient at Gynecology OPD by visual Inspection with acetic acid (VIA) and Pap smear for early detection of cervical cancer and to evaluate the efficacy of visual inspection with acetic acid and Pap smear in the early detection of cervical cancer. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 women attending Gynecology O.P.D of a Tertiary Level Hospital, Gwalior (India) by non-probability purposive sampling technique between 1st August to 30th August 2017. Pap smear was taken from each woman followed by VIA. Women with positive VIA and/or positive Pap smear were referred for colposcopy-directed cervical biopsy. Results: After the application of 3% VIA among 60 women, 16 (26.67%) developed acetowhite while 44 (73.33%) didn’t. While the result of Pap smear shows, 22 (36.66%) had an inflammatory smear, 6(10%) shows benign smear, 9(15%) bacterial vaginosis, 1(1.66%) squamous metaplastic cells, 12 (20%) shows adenocarcinoma and 10(16.66%) normal pap smear.  Conclusion: The study concludes that VIA and pap smear were effective methods for the early detection of cervical cancer. Visual inspection of the cervix after acetic acid application (VIA) is widely recommended as the method of choice in cervical cancer screening programs in resource-limited settings and developing countries because of its simplicity, cost-effectiveness and ability to link with immediate treatment.
