Pemberdayaan Kader Dan Orang Tua Dalam Pemenuhan Nutrisi Dan Stimulasi Tumbuh Kembang Untuk Mendukung Kesehatan Otak Anak Di Desa Karang Anyar

Early childhood nutrition and stimulation are essential for supporting optimal growth and development. However, parents and community health cadres need adequate knowledge to provide appropriate nutrition and stimulation at home. This community service activity aimed to improve participants’ knowledge of child nutrition and developmental stimulation. The activity was conducted at Rejomulyo Integrated Health Post, Karang Anyar Village, South Lampung Regency, in 2026, involving 25 participants,consisting of 10 health cadres and 15 mothers of children. An educational approach was implemented through interactive presentations, discussions, and question-and-answer sessions, supported by posters and leaflets. Participants’ knowledge was evaluated using pre-test and post-test questionnaires and analyzed descriptively. The average knowledge score increased from 62.4 before education to 85.8 afterward,representing an increase of 23.4 points. These findings indicate improved knowledge following the educational activity and highlight the importance of continued nutrition and developmental stimulation education.
