Permasalahan gizi pada balita selama masa pandemi covid-19 juga terjadi di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Batu Bajanjang yang melaporkan sebanyak 27,3% kasus balita pendek, 109 (12,2%) balita gizi kurang, balita kurus 7,6%. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan status gizi balita di masa pandemi Covid 19 di Puskesmas Batu Bajanjang Kabupaten Solok tahun 2021. Jenis penelitian ini adalah analitik dengan pendekatan cross sectional study. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah seluruh balita yang ada di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Batu Bajanjang yaitu sebanyak 599 balita. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan teknik random sampling dengan besaran sampel sebanyak 86 ibu dan balita. Pengumpulan data pada penelitian ini menggunakan kuisioner. Analisis data meliputi analisis univariat dan analisis bivariat menggunakan uji chi-square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa 91,9% responden dengan pendatapan keluarga rendah, 51,2% pengetahuan rendah, 54,7% pola asuh kurang baik, 53,5% pengaruh positif sosial budaya, 66,3% status gizi normal. Variabel yang berhubungan dengan status gizi balita di masa pandemi covid-19 adalah pengetahuan orang tua ( p = 0,000, OR = 6,571), pola asuh orang tua ( p = 0,03, OR = 3,13) dan faktor budaya ( p = 0,001, OR = 5,25). Sedangkan variabel pendapatan keluarga tidak berhubungan dengan status gizi balita ( p = 1,000), karena gizi secara langsung lebih dipengaruhi oleh faktor pola makan. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa pengetahuan orang tua, pola asuh, dan faktor budaya berhubungan signifikan dengan status gizi balita di masa pandemi covid-19. Maka dari itu, diharapkan kepada semua pihak khususnya orang tua untuk lebih meningkatkan pengetahuan tentang gizi agar dapat menerapkan perilaku gizi yang tepat pada anak balita.

The Covid-19 pandemic has had a considerable impact on global life, including having an impact on the nutritional status of toddlers due to disruption of public services. WHO reports that the Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted 90% of health services in 105 countries, including having an impact on the nutritional status of children under five. Nutritional problems for toddlers during the Covid 19 pandemic also occurred in the working area of the Batu Bajanjang Community Health Center which reported 27.3% cases of short toddlers, 109 (12.2%) undernourished toddlers, 7.6% thin toddlers. This study aimed to determine the factors related to the nutritional status of toddlers during the Covid-19 pandemic at Batu Bajanjang Community Health Center, Solok Regency in 2021. This type of research was analytic with a cross sectional study approach. The population in this study were all children under five in the working area of the Batu Bajanjang Community Health Center as many as 599 toddlers. Sampling using random sampling technique with a sample size of 86 mothers and toddlers. Collecting data in this study using a questionnaire. Data analysis includes univariate analysis and bivariate analysis using chi-square test. The results showed that 91.9% of respondents with low family income, 51.2% low knowledge, 54.7% poor parenting, 53.5% positive socio-cultural influence, 66.3% normal nutritional status. Variables related to the nutritional status of toddlers during the Covid-19 pandemic were parental knowledge (p = 0.000, OR = 6.571), parenting patterns (p = 0.03, OR = 3.13) and cultural factors (p = 0.001, OR = 5.25). Meanwhile, the family income variable was not related to the nutritional status of children under five (p = 1,000), because nutrition was directly influenced by dietary factors. It could be concluded that parental knowledge, parenting, and cultural factors were significantly related to the nutritional status of toddlers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, it is hoped that all parties, especially parents, will further increase their knowledge about nutrition so that they can apply proper nutritional behavior to children under five.
