| dc.description.abstract | Stunting describes the existence of chronic nutritional problems,
influenced by the condition of the mother, fetus, infant, and toddler. Stunting has
an impact on growth failure in toddlers due to chronic malnutrition so that the
child's body is too short for his age. The number of nutritional problems must be
addressed immediately because it can slow down growth and development in
children. One effort to overcome the problem of malnutrition in stunted children
is the Supplementary Feeding Program. In Tanjung Morawa District, the
implementation of the Supplementary Feeding Program was found to still have
several problems in running the program. Such as the lack of transportation for
mobile nutrition counseling to prevent stunting, external problems, namely
uncontrolled village funds in the Tanjung Morawa Health Center work area,
health centers that have not yet coordinated with non-governmental organizations
(NGOs), academics, and professional organizations in the context of providing
food, lack of human resources in running the Supplementary Feeding program,
not routinely holding educational socialization. Tanjung Morawa Health Center,
as a sub-district-level public health system, must have a role in running the
Supplementary Feeding program so that the stunting rate can decrease.
The research method used in this study is descriptive research with a
qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out using interview,
observation and documentation techniques. Data obtained from the field were
analyzed qualitatively using the Jim Ife and Frank Tesoriero theory approach
which includes four indicators, namely Facilitative Role, Educational Role,
Representative Role and Technical Role.
The results of the study indicate that the Tanjung Morawa Health Center
has implemented a supplementary feeding program to reduce stunting rates quite
well. Based on the analysis conducted by the author using the Jim Ife and Frank
Tesoriero theory (2014). That seen from the Facilitative role there are still
several obstacles that are faced so that the role is not optimal, in the educational
role it has been maximized but the challenges in facing and inviting the
community have not been fully successful and when viewed from the technical
role, the Tanjung Morawa Health Center has carried out this role but there are
still obstacles so that this role is not optimal. | en_US |
