Berdasarkan hasil penelitian pemantauan dan penimbangan balita sudah dilakukan namun ibu-ibu balita yang tidak datang ke posyandu tidak bisa dipantau pertumbuhannya setiap bulannya. Pemberian Makanan Tambahan (PMT) telah tepat sasaran, namun pada kenyataannya PMT tidak hanya dimakan oleh balitanya sendiri melainkan oleh keluarganya juga. Masih terdapat beberapa ibu balita yang tidak mengikuti konseling/penyuluhan tentang gizi balita dikarenakan banyak ibu balita yang tidak setiap bulan datang ke posyandu. Hampir rata-rata ibu belum mengetahui tentang pola asuh yang khusus untuk balita yang menderita gizi kurang, mereka juga belum mengetahui cara pembuatan makanan tambahankarena belum pernah ada dilakukan pelatihan. Simpulan penelitian PMT sudah tepat sasaran, penyuluhan telah dilakukan 4x setahun, ibu balita tidak memahami pola asuh balita, belum adanya pelatihan pembuatan makanan tambahan Diharapkan bagi Puskesmas Sekancing dapat melakukan penguatan program penanggulangan gizi kurang agar kasus tersebut dapat segera diatasi.

Globally, malnutrition in children is associated with high morbidity and mortality. In 2021, out of 30513 children under five in Merangin Regency, there were 1637 cases of malnutrition among toddlers (5.36%) with the highest case being at the Sekancing Community Health Center 11.8%. The purpose of this study was to describe and analyze cases of undernutrition in children under five in the working area of Sekancing Community Health Center, Merangin Regency in 2022. The design of this study used an exploratory qualitative research with a phenomenological approach that aimed to analyze cases of malnutrition in children under five in the working area of the Sekancing Community Health Center, Merangin Regency in 2022, by collecting primary data, conducting in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. Based on the results of the research, monitoring and weighing of toddlers have been carried out, but mothers of toddlers who do not come to the Integrated Services Post (posyandu) cannot be monitored for their growth every month. Provision of Supplementary Foods has been right on target, but in fact Supplementary Foods is not only eaten by toddlers themselves but also by their families. There are still some mothers of children under five who do not attend counseling / counseling about toddler nutrition because many mothers of children under five do not come to the Integrated Services Post (posyandu) every month. Most mothers do not know about special parenting patterns for toddlers who suffer from malnutrition, they also do not know how to make additional food because there has never been any training. The conclusion of the Supplementary Foods research is that it is right on target, counseling has been carried out 4x a year, mothers of toddlers do not understand toddler parenting, there is no training in making additional food It is hoped that the Sekancing Community Health Center can strengthen the malnutrition prevention program so that the case can be immediately resolved.
