Use of technology for monitoring the development of nutritional status 1000 hpk in stunting prevention in Indonesia

ABSTRACT

Objective: This study is reviewed about the use of technology to monitor the nutritional status of the first thousand days of life (1000 HPK), a program in Indonesia to prevent stunting. Method: In this study, which is looking for journals used in the literature review, journals used in literature review obtained through the database of international journal providers such as Google scholar, PubMed, and Proquest. Researchers wrote the appropriate keywords, namely nutritional status of 1000 HPK, stunting, and application. The year limit used is ten years from 2010 to 2020. Results: Nutritional status in the first thousand days of life (1000 HPK), which is 270 days during pregnancy and 730 days in the baby's first life, is critical because the consequences are permanent and irreparable. Pregnant women and toddlers who are less attentive about their food intake will impact nutritional problems or nutritional status that will then affect their development in the future. The level of optimal nutritional status will be achieved if nutritional needs are met, but on the contrary unbalanced nutrition can cause several diseases, including stunting. Monitoring the development of toddlers is very important to know the existence of growth disorders early on, by taking weight measurement as the best way to assess the nutritional status of pregnant women and toddlers every month so that the child's growth will be monitored. One tool for measuring nutritional status is to use applications, and technological advances have now undergone rapid development. Application is a multifunctional product with all its sophistication which can help humans in various ways. Conclusion: From some journals can be concluded that the use of applications in monitoring the nutritional status of 1000 HPK facilitates parents, midwives, and other health workers in working to monitor the nutritional development of pregnant women and the growth of infants and toddlers for stunting prevention.
