Aims: Toddlers are one of the groups vulnerable to malnutrition, often associated with prolonged deficiencies in protein and energy. Stunting is a chronic malnutrition issue that results in a child failing to grow adequately compared to others in the same age range. From 2019 to 2022, there were 80 villages identified as stunting loci in Maros Regency, spread across 23 sub-districts, including the Marusu Health Center work area. Factors contributing to stunting include mothers’ knowledge and behavior, poor feeding attitudes, and economic challenges. The purpose of this research was to analyze the connections between knowledge, attitudes, actions, family support, the role of cadre integrated health posts, food resilience, digital parenting, and the cultural practices of mothers with toddlers in the Marusu Health Center area.
Instrument & Methods: This quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted on 341 mothers of toddlers selected using the total sampling technique. Data collection involved a combination of interviews, observations, and questionnaires. The analysis process involved three techniques, including univariate analysis, bivariate analysis, and multivariate analysis.
Findings: None of the investigated factors exhibited a statistically significant correlation with stunting in the Marusu Health Center area. The Chi-Square test showed no significant relationships between knowledge (p=0.805), maternal attitudes (p=0.942), maternal practices (p=0.726), family support (p=0.942), the role of health service post cadres (p=1.000), food security (p=0.632), digital parenting (p=0.378), and cultural factors (p=0.812).
Conclusion: There is no statistically significant relationship between knowledge, attitudes, actions, family support, the role of integrated service post, food security, digital parenting, and cultural influences and the incidence of stunting in the Marusu Health Center region.
