Pendidikan Kesehatan Dan Pelatihan Memandikan Bayi Pada Wus Di Desa Borong Pala’la Kabupaten Gowa

Abstract

Cadres play an important role in the implementation of Posyandu as one of the activities to monitor the nutritional status of under-five children. Good knowledge about nutrition and stunting prevention efforts will assist cadres in providing counseling to the community. Therefore, cadres need to be equipped with adequate knowledge about nutrition and health. This community service activity aimed to increase the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres in monitoring growth and providing health promotion to the community. The main target for this activity was Iwimenda Health Care. Capacity building was carried out through three methods, namely, education, simulation, and assisting. Therefore, cadres can practice directly the knowledge that has been given. Community service activities using the combination of these methods can increase the knowledge and skills of Posyandu cadres in monitoring the growth and development of toddlers and conducting health education in the community. As a suggestion, it is necessary to have special training for cadres on how to provide health information through health education and promotion media.
