Abstract

Gizi yang baik pada balita merupakan faktor penting dalam mendukung pertumbuhan dan perkembangan optimal anak. Namun, masih banyak masyarakat yang memiliki pemahaman kurang mengenai pola asuh gizi yang baik, yang dapat berdampak pada risiko stunting dan masalah gizi lainnya. Program Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (PkM) ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan masyarakat, khususnya ibu balita, mengenai pentingnya gizi seimbang dan pola makan sehat bagi anak. Metode yang digunakan dalam program ini meliputi edukasi melalui penyuluhan, demonstrasi pembuatan menu sehat, dan sesi diskusi interaktif. Program ini diikuti oleh 50 ibu balita di wilayah binaan Posyandu. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan signifikan dalam pemahaman peserta terhadap gizi balita, yang ditunjukkan oleh peningkatan skor pre-test dan post-test. Selain itu, terdapat perubahan dalam praktik pemberian makanan pada balita, dengan lebih banyak ibu yang menerapkan pola makan sehat setelah mengikuti edukasi. Kesimpulannya, edukasi gizi berbasis komunitas efektif dalam meningkatkan pemahaman dan praktik gizi seimbang bagi balita, yang diharapkan dapat berkontribusi dalam menurunkan angka stunting dan malnutrisi.
