Abstract

The physical and psychological development of preschool-age children is very rapid so the nutritional needs to support their growth and development must be met so that children do not experience malnutrition. One of the efforts to monitor children's growth is to assess their nutritional status. Early Childhood Education Programs named PAUD and PAUD Children's Anthropometry Pocket Book helps teachers assess children's nutrition. The study used a different-subject design which was carried out in April-October 2022 by randomly selecting 31 PAUD teachers in Bangli Regency as the Control Group and Tabanan as the Treatment Group. The data collected includes sample identity and teachers' ability to determine nutritional status using BW/A, H/A, BW/H, and BMI/A pre and post-treatment. Data were descriptively and statistically evaluated. Independent samples t-test at 0.05 on homogeneous data and Man Whitney test on inhomogeneous data. After receiving the intervention, Treatment Group instructors were better able to assess the nutritional status of children than Control Group teachers. The increase before and after the intervention in the control group with BW/A index of 26.8±24.2, H/A 28.0±27.4, BW/H 38.6±6.5, and BMI/A 19, 3±22.8, while in the Treatment Group the increase in BW/A index was 73.2±22.5, H/A 74.2±17.5, BW/TB 65.4±19.6, and BMI/ A 72.5±18.9. Statistical analysis with Independent Sample T-test data on BW/A and BMI/A and Man Whitney analysis on H/A and BW/H data obtained p value 0.05, which means there is a significant difference in the ability of teachers in the Control and Treatment Groups to assess nutritional status with the Index BW/A, BMI/A, H/A, and BB/H after receiving the intervention.
