Pelaksanaan Program Gizi Dalam Upaya Penurunan Stunting Menggunakan Pendekatan POAC di Puskesmas Bangkalan

Abstract

                 Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that has a long-term impact on child growth and development. At the Bangkalan Community Health Center, 5.61% of toddlers suffer from stunting. The study aims to analyze nutrition program management in efforts to reduce stunting through management functions: planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. The study uses a descriptive qualitative method. Subyek were selected purposive, including the head of the community health center, the nutrition program coordinator and the head of administration. Source triangulation included the person in charge of nutrition at the health office and the regional village midwife. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation in June 2025 at the Bangkalan Health Center. Data analysis: reduction, presentation, drawing conclusions. The results show that planning was carried out through problem analysis, performance evaluation, and monthly reports incorporated into the RUK, but there was a lack of cross-sector participation. The formation of a cross-sector TPPS with clear division of tasks constituted organization. Implementation was carried out through nutrition education activities, PMT, home visits, and prenatal classes. However, there is a need to enhance community participation, strengthen cross-sectoral coordination to optimize interventions, particularly in planning and implementation management.
