The Effectiveness Of Flipbook On The Knowledge And Attitude Of Posyandu Cadres In Stunting Prevention

Abstract

Purpose: Posyandu cadres are at the forefront of improving the health of toddlers in the community. With a stunting prevalence of 16% in Sleman Regency, effective education is needed for cadres. Flipbooks as an interactive educational media are considered to have the potential to increase the knowledge and attitudes of cadres in supporting stunting prevention.

Method: This type of study is quasi experimental with a Pretest-Posttest Control Group Design. It will be held in May 2025 in the working area of the Seyegan Health Center. The population in this study is posyandu cadres in Margoagung Village as an intervention group and Margoluwih Village as a control group. The sampling technique used purposive sampling totaling 77 which was divided into 2 groups with inclusion and exclusion criteria. This instrument uses flipbook and leaflet media. The data analysis method consists of univariate and bivariate analysis of the Mann-Whitney U Test

Finding: This study shows that the use of flipbook media significantly increases the knowledge and attitude of Posyandu cadres under five. The knowledge score increased from an average of 5,850 (pretest) to 7,875 (posttest) with a significance value of p = 0.000. The attitude score increased from 34,875 to 37,175 (p = 0.000). Compared to leaflet media, flipbooks showed a difference in the increase in cadre knowledge (p = 0.000), but did not show a significant difference in attitude improvement (p = 0.926).

Novelty: There is a difference in the provision of flipbook media in increasing the knowledge of Posyandu cadres, but it is not superior to leaflets in improving attitudes related to stunting prevention.
