ABSTRACT

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that remains a serious health issue in Indonesia. One factor that influences the success of stunting prevention is maternal behavior in child health practices. In this case, maternal self-efficacy plays an important role in encouraging the consistent and effective implementation of stunting prevention behavior. This study aims to analyze the relationship between self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior among mothers of toddlers in three stunting loci in Bandung City, namely Margasari, Dago, and Babakan Ciparay Villages. This study used a cross-sectional design with a correlational analytic approach based on secondary data. The results of this study indicate a significant relationship between self-efficacy and stunting prevention behavior in mothers of toddlers with a positive relationship direction (p-value=0.011). The higher the mother's self-efficacy, the better the stunting prevention behavior applied. Therefore, strengthening stunting prevention behavior in mothers needs to be initiated by increasing mothers' self-efficacy for this behavior.

ABSTRAK

Stunting merupakan permasalahan gizi kronis yang masih menjadi isu kesehatan serius di Indonesia. Salah satu faktor yang memengaruhi keberhasilan pencegahan stunting adalah perilaku ibu dalam praktik kesehatan anak. Dalam hal ini, self-efficacy ibu berperan penting dalam mendorong penerapan perilaku pencegahan stunting yang konsisten dan efektif. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara self-efficacy dengan perilaku pencegahan stunting pada ibu balita di tiga lokus stunting Kota Bandung, yaitu Kelurahan Margasari, Dago, dan Babakan Ciparay. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan pendekatan analitik korelasional berbasis data sekunder. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara self-efficacy dengan perilaku pencegahan stunting pada ibu balita dengan arah hubungan bersifat positif (p-value = 0,011). Semakin tinggi self-efficacy ibu, semakin baik pula perilaku pencegahan stunting yang diterapkan. Oleh karena itu, penguatan perilaku pencegahan stunting pada ibu perlu diawali dengan peningkatan self-efficacy ibu terhadap perilaku tersebut.
