Stunting is a developmental disorder experienced by children due to poor nutrition, recurrent infections, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. In Jember Regency, the number of stunting cases increased from 2018 to 2019. In addition, restrictions on activities during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as nutrition services at Integrated Healthcare Center, can hamper access to consumption and nutrition and child health services. Therefore, education about stunting is urgently needed to implement appropriate parenting patterns in the mids of limited activities during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Jember community service program was carried out online in the form of a webinar activity that was attended by 30 participants. This study is a quantitative analytic research using a one-group pretest-posttest design. Data that have been analyzed are presented descriptively. There is a significant effect on the pretest and posttest scores in the webinar. It means an increase in participants' understanding after online education is carried out. It is hoped that the people of Jember Regency can apply knowledge about the importance of the first 1000 days of life to prevent stunting.

Poor Nutrition

Stunting is the impaired growth and development resulted from poor nutrition, repeated infection, and inadequate psychosocial stimulation. Children are defined as stunted if their height-for-age is more than two standard deviations below the WHO Child Growth Standards median. Purwomartani is a village with the highest prevalence of stunting in Kalasan (27.66%), Sleman, Special Region Yogyakarta. The aim of the study was to determine factors that are associated with the incidence of stunting in Purwomartani.  Observational analytic research was conducted with case control design. Data was taken from the Nutrition Monitoring data of Kalasan primary health center in 2018. Cases were children aged 6-24 months who experienced stunting (n=37). Control was children aged 6-24 months who are not stunted (n=37). Three respondents were excluded from each group. Total of 68 data was analyzed. The results of the study showed that the majority of those who are stunted are in the age groups 13-24 months and the gender was female. Variables related to the incidence of stunting were father's education (OR = 3.429; CI = 1,176-9,994), maternal education (OR = 3,519; CI = 1,270-9,750), birth weight (OR = 5,250; CI = 1,509-18,268) and breastfeeding history (OR = 3.378; CI = 1,246-9,157). Variables that were not related to the incidence of stunting are family income (OR = 1,486; CI = 0,540-4,084), maternal age (OR = 1,170; CI = 0,390-3,512) and birth interval (OR = 2.2750.799-6.476).  Factors related to stunting were father's education, mother's education, birth weight and history of breastfeeding

During the pandemic situation, the group that is vulnerable to contracting Covid-19 is the midwife, whose main task is maternal and child health services at the basic level. Midwives must understand how the protocol for maternal and child health services is to avoid the transmission of Covid-19. The purpose of this study was to analyze the effect of the Covid-19 leaflet protocol on maternal and infant care, the research method used was quasi-experimental, with one group pre and post test. The population in the study was midwives who opened independent practice during the Covid-19 pandemic in Bengkulu City, the sampling technique was random sampling, which returned 35 samples. Data analysis with chi square method. The results of the statistical test showed that the level of knowledge of respondents after being given the Covid-19 protocol leaflet for maternal and infant services, there was an increase in the good category from 71.43% to 94.29%. The category was originally 57.1% to 5.71%, and knowledge was low from 20.0% to 0.0%.

In tropical Africa the primordial presence of enormous young child death rates precludes a successful frontal attack on birth rates through specialized programs. Experience in Nigeria indicates that gradual, quiet pressure can influence the power structure to tolerate and eventually espouse child spacing as an integral part of a program of services for child saving. The approach involves four phases: a low visibility start; obtaining high level acceptance; establishment of a federal training center to train cadres for state training programs; and deployment of trained primary care auxiliaries as a local maternal and child health-family planning service. In tropical Africa governmental attitudes toward family planning range from positive policy, to neutrality, to strong opposition. At present most Anglophone countries are favorable. Most Francophone countries are opposed. The general trend is toward a more favorable attitude toward family planning when it is a part of maternal and child health services.

TWO months ago when some of the salient features of the National Health Assembly were reviewed in this column (July issue), the report of the Maternal and Child Health Section was reserved for more complete presentation. This Section report is far too bulky to be quoted fully here. It includes first a factual summary of the present status of maternal and child health under the heading: "Where are we now in Maternal and Child Health?" Sub-committees, each of which submitted separate reports, were appointed to consider the following topics: 1. Training of personnel 2. Health of the School Age Child 3. Parent Education 4. Program to Raise Standards of Maternity, Newborn, and Pediatric Hospital Care 5. Research Program in Child Life 6. Care of the Handicapped, Including Prevention of Accidents Because other sections of the Assembly considered nutrition, dental care, environmental sanitation, mental hygiene and the chronic diseases common in childhood, these important factors were not considered in detail by the Maternal and Child Health Section. The most important part of the report is a summary entitled: "Goals for Maternal and Child Health." This statement includes the Sub-committee recommendations which were agreed upon as the most significant. This summary is therefore quoted in full as follows: Goals for Maternal and Child Health Whenever stock is taken of achievements designed to increase the chances of a good life and to improve the conditions of living, the people turn to examine the status of public and private action in behalf of children and to assess the extent and quality of care provided. This is natural because we recognize that the good life for mankind and world peace lies in the health and vigor of children, in their capacity to learn, in their ability to grow as thinking, reasoning human beings, and to develop from infancy through childhood and youth until they reach adulthood as fully mature persons, secure in their ability to take their places as citizens and as parents.

The eloquent statement on the status of Negro medical care and education in the United States by the eminent anatomist, Dr. W. Montague Cobb (Brown America's Medical Diaspora: A Paradox of Democracy, in The Pediatrician and The Public, Pediatrics 3:854, 1949) requires the attention of all physicians interested in the distribution of medical care. Although pediatricians cannot begin to assume responsibility for this entire problem, it is possible to demonstrate leadership in the same manner in which the Academy study of infant and child health services provided leadership to the profession and the public. We refer specifically to an extension of training facilities in pediatrics for Negro physicians. Certainly 15 certified Negro pediatricians in a country with 14,000,000 Negro people represents a serious discrepancy in the distribution of training facilities. Admittedly most of the problem has its origin in the distribution of training facilities for undergraduate students and the basic problems responsible for this situation. However, we have observed—as has Dr. Cobb—that many Negro physicians desiring training in pediatrics (as well as other specialties) are discouraged from applying for training because of what seems to be a dearth of positions open to them. It has been our impression, however, that many centers would consider Negroes for training appointments if qualified applicants applied. Would it not be advisable, therefore, for the American Board of Pediatrics to circularize the approved training centers in pediatrics in order to establish a roster of those centers which would consider Negro applicants for training positions?
