ABSTRAK
Kejadian stunting pada anak usia 12–60 bulan saat ini menjadi salah satu
permasalahan gizi yang dihadapi di seluruh dunia. Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh
kekurangan asupan gizi seperti praktik pemberian air susu ibu (ASI) eksklusif yang
rendah. Selain itu, pengetahuan ibu tentang stunting dapat menjadi faktor risiko
stunting. Desa Panyirapan Kecamatan Soreang adalah salah satu desa yang menjadi
prioritas utama dalam menurunkan angka kejadian stunting di Kabupaten Bandung.
Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui pengaruh pemberian ASI eksklusif dan
pengetahuan ibu tentang stunting terhadap kejadian stunting. Metode yang
digunakan pada penelitian ini, yaitu metode deskriptif korelasi dengan pendekatan
potong lintang. Data yang digunakan adalah data primer yang diambil
menggunakan kuesioner. Pemilihan subjek penelitian ini menggunakan sampel
total sehingga didapat 86 orang. Kategori pengetahuan ibu paling banyak, yaitu ibu
dengan pengetahuan cukup (41%). Praktik pemberian ASI eksklusif sebanyak 80%.
Balita yang tidak stunting sebanyak 52%. Kejadian stunting paling banyak terjadi
pada ibu dengan pengetahuan kurang (26%) dan balita yang tidak menerima ASI
eksklusif (17%). Terdapat pengaruh ASI eksklusif dan pengetahuan ibu tentang
stunting dengan kejadian stunting, (p<0,05). Pengetahuan ibu yang rendah dapat
menyebabkan pola asuh yang salah sehingga dapat mengancam kesehatan anaknya.
Selain itu, ASI memiliki sifat protektif dan kandungan gizi yang sangat dibutuhkan
oleh anak sehingga anak yang tidak diberi ASI eksklusif mudah mengalami
kejadian stunting. Simpulan, terdapat pengaruh pemberian ASI eksklusif dan
pengetahuan ibu tentang stunting terhadap kejadian stunting.
