Model Pengasuhan Gizi Anak Balita Berdasarkan Pendekatan Faktor Risiko
Abstract: Based on results of
the survey Assessment of Basic Data on Under fi ves and Mothers' Nutrition
Situation Fast Up program USAIDWVI 2005 in three poor districts of Surabaya,
Indonesia, the prevalence of malnutrition in sub districts Tambak Sari,
Simokerto, andKenjeran was higher than the incidence in Indonesia. The role of
the mother is the most important factor in alleviating the negativeeffects of
nutritional problems through rearing, in providing food and health care, and
nutrition for children. The survey results alsoshowed descriptively that there
are few mothers who are able to provide care to sick and healthy children
properly. Similarly, therewere only 67.1% of mothers who knew 4 of the 8 signs
of malnutrition in question. Preventive measures should be a priority and itcan
be pursued through the mother's understanding that there is a potential risk,
risk factors, and knowing about the consequences ofnutritional problems.
Therefore, we require nutritional risk approach strategy that relates to under
fi ves rearing. The risk needs to besimplifi ed in a model. This study was
aimed to establish an under fi ves nutritional rearing model based on a risk
factor approach. TheLisrel program helps to shape the children’s nutrition
rearing model based on nutritional risk factors in 1085 under fi ves. The
results canonly shape a model of nutrition rearing in under fi ves aged 6–60
months. Nutritional care is a rearing risk factor underlying nutritionproblems
in under fi ves. The ability of mothers to monitor children’s growth is an
early prevention of child nutritional problems.
