- Abstract
Stunting is still a public health problem in Indonesia, including Pasuruan City. Around 1,516 children still have the potential to experience stunting in Pasuruan City. The Pasuruan City Government is trying to keep the stunting rate below 14%. Pregnant women are the primary target to prevent the potential for children with stunting to arise. Inflammatory conditions in the oral cavity can trigger disturbances during pregnancy which have the potential to cause preterm birth, low birth weight babies (LBW), and become the basis for children experiencing stunting. To promote knowledge for the prevention of stunting in Pasuruan City, this community activity involves providing training and counseling on periodontal tissue and dental health to pregnant women and health cadres at the Pasuruan City Health Center. Community service was performed at the Kandangsapi, Bugul Kidul, Kebonsari, and Trajeng Health Centers in Pasuruan City. Counseling and training are the two service delivery methods that are used. On the subject of periodontal tissue health, its relationship to pregnancy, the prevalence of LBW, and the risk of adverse effects on the health of the periodontal tissue of pregnant women on the potential for stunting, educational campaigns were conducted. The activity was attended by 98 participants of pregnant women and health cadres. The results of the Wilcoxon test on the level of knowledge of pregnant women and health cadres regarding oral health and the risk of stunting before and after community service activities showed an increase in knowledge (p<0.05). Through community service in the form of counseling and training, cognitive and psychomotor health cadres and pregnant women can be improved.
