| dc.description.abstract | Stunting is a problem of chronic malnutrition caused by a lack of nutrition for a long time,
resulting in growth disorders. The condition of inadequate nutritional intake in children is
important for stunting. The best nutritional intake for babies is breast milk. Breastfeeding is
thought to affect the incidence of stunting. This study aimed to determine the relationship
between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in Candipuro Village. The
research design uses qualitative research, namely retrospective or case-control. The
sampling technique used in this study is purposive sampling. Analysis of the data used in
this study is to use descriptive and bivariate data analysis. The Chi-square data analysis
results show a relationship between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting
in Candipuro Village (p=0.00). Thus, it can be concluded that there is a relationship
between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of stunting in Candipuro Village. The
results of this study provide input for mothers to provide exclusive breastfeeding to infants
to avoid stunting. | en_US |
