Salah satu tantangan pembangunan manusia Indonesia yang berkualitas adalah stunting. Salah satu strategi percepatan penurunan stunting adalah pendekatan keluarga melalui pendampingan keluarga berisiko stunting untuk mencapai target sasaran, yakni calon pengantin (catin)/calon pasangan usia subur (PUS), ibu hamil dan menyusui sampai dengan pasca persalinan, dan anak 0-59 bulan. Metode Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-experimental dengan rancangan Two-Group Posttest-Only Design yaitu desain penelitian yang melibatkan dua kelompok
yaitu metode konseling dan Metode Smart Chatting. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah 368 orang. Teknik pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara Purposive Sampel. Penelitian dilakukan pada tanggal 02 Mei sampai 31 Mei 2024 Di Nagari Lasi Kecamatan Canduang
Kabupaten Agam.

sesudah penyuluhan dengan metode konseling (0,038 < (0,05) kepada pendamping
keluarga berisiko stunting di Wilayah Kerja Balai Penyuluh KB VII Koto Tahun 2024.
Namun tidak terdapat perbedaan sikap 0,100 (0,05) dengan metode konseling. Hasil
penelitian menunjukkan terdapat perbedaan pengetahuan antara sebelum dan sesudah
penyuluhan dengan metode smart chatting (0,031 < (0,05) kepada pendamping keluarga
berisiko stunting di Wilayah Kerja Balai Penyuluh KB VII Koto Tahun 2024. Namun tidak
terdapat perbedaan sikap 0,100 (0,05) dengan metode smart chatting( 0,570

Berdasarkan penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa konseling dan smart chatting
dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan sikap keluarga beresiko dengan melakukan edukasi
melalui media buku saku mengenai stunting di nagari lasi kecamatan canduang kabupaten
agam. Diharapkan bagi keluarga beresiko untuk meningkatkan sikap dalam mencegah
stunting karena pengetahuan saja tidak cukup mengubah pola hidup sehat keluarga yang
beresiko stunting.

One of the challenges in improving the quality of human development in Indonesia is
stunting. A key strategy to accelerate the reduction of stunting is a family-centered
approach, involving support for families at risk of stunting to achieve target groups such as
prospective brides/grooms, women of childbearing age, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers,

and children aged 0-59 months. This study uses a quasi-experimental design with a "Two-
Group Posttest-Only Design," involving two groups: the counseling method and the Smart

Chatting method. The population of this study is 368 individuals, with purposive sampling
employed. The research was conducted from May 2 to May 31, 2024, in Nagari Lasi,
Canduang District, Agam Regency. The results show a significant difference in knowledge
before and after the counseling intervention (0.038 < (0.05)) among family supporters at
risk of stunting in the working area of the VII Koto Family Planning Extension Office in
2024. However, there was no significant difference in attitudes (0.100 > (0.05)) with the
counseling method. The study also found a significant difference in knowledge before and
after the smart chatting intervention (0.031 < (0.05)) among family supporters at risk of
stunting. However, there was no significant difference in attitudes (0.100 > (0.05)) with
the smart chatting method (0.570 > (0.05)). Based on these findings, it can be concluded
that both counseling and smart chatting methods can improve knowledge among families at
risk by providing education through booklet media on stunting in Nagari Lasi, Canduang
District, Agam Regency. It is hoped that families at risk will enhance their attitudes towards
preventing stunting, as knowledge alone is not sufficient to change the healthy living
patterns of families at risk of stunting.
