Prevalensi stunting di Indonesia sudah mengalami penurunan, namun
berdasarkan kriteria WHO masih tergolong kategori tinggi (>20%). Walaupun
pemerintah sudah berupaya maksimal, namun hasilnya belum optimal sesuai
dengan yang diharapkan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis peran lintas
sector dan lintas program dalam penanganan stunting. Jenis penelitian Mixed
Method dengan desain Sequential Explanatory. Tempat penelitian di wilayah
kerja Puskesmas Palembayan dan Puskesmas Koto Alam pada bulan Agustus
September 2025. Populasi adalah seluruh orang tua yang memiliki balita stunting
di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Palembaya dan Puskesmas Koto Alam, berjumlah
223 orang dengan pengambilan sampel secara total sampling. Informan terdiri
dari kepala puskesmas, pemegang program KIA, pemegang program gizi, Bidan
desa dan kader posyandu. Pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner dan
wawancara mendalam kemudian diolah serta disajikan melalui tahap editing,
coding, scoring, entry dan tabulating, serta reduksi data. Hasil penelitian
didapatkan faktor penyebab stunting yaitu anemia (7,2 %), BBLR (7,2 %), infeksi
penyakit (1,3 %), pendapatan rendah (75,8 %) dan faktor keturunan (16,6%).
Sebanyak 52,0 % responden menyatakan peran lintas sektor pada kategori kurang
baik dan 95,5 % menyatakan peran lintas program pada kategori baik.
Ketersediaan input masih perlu upaya peningkatan agar intervensi bisa lebih
optimal dan berkelanjutan. Proses penanganan stunting dimulai dengan
perencanaan yang dilakukan secara terintegrasi dan komprehensif. Pada output
masih terdapat tantangan seperti efektivitas penyuluhan, peran kader yang kurang,
serta pemanfaatan teknologi digital belum optimal. Disimpulkan perlu
peningkatan input, proses dan output dalam rangka optimalisasi penanganan
stunting. Diharapkan pada dinas kesehatan agar memperkuat koordinasi lintas
sektor dengan pemerintah desa, PKK, serta lembaga terkait.

The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia has declined; however, based on
WHO criteria, it still falls into the high category (>20%). Despite the
governments maximum efforts, the results have not yet been optimal as expected.

The purpose of this study was to analyze the roles of cross-sector and cross-
program collaborations in stunting management. This research employed a Mixed

Methods approach with a Sequential Explanatory design. The study was
conducted in the working areas of Palembayan and Koto Alam Health Centers
from August to September 2025. The population consisted of all parents with
stunted children under five in these areas, totaling 223 people, with samples taken
using total sampling. Informants included the head of the health center, maternal
and child health (MCH) program coordinators, nutrition program coordinators,
village midwives, and posyandu cadres. Data collection was carried out using
questionnaires and in-depth interviews, which were then processed and presented
through the stages of editing, coding, scoring, entry, tabulating, and data
reduction. The study found the causes of stunting to be anemia (7.2%), low birth
weight (7.2%), infectious diseases (1.3%), low income (75.8%), and hereditary
factors (16.6%). A total of 52.0% of respondents stated that cross-sector roles
were in the poor category, while 95.5% stated that cross-program roles were in
the good category. The availability of inputs still requires improvement to make
interventions more optimal and sustainable. The stunting management process
begins with integrated and comprehensive planning. At the output stage,
challenges remain, such as the effectiveness of counseling, the limited role of
health cadres, and the suboptimal use of digital technology. It is concluded that
there is a need to improve inputs, processes, and outputs to optimize stunting
management. The health office is expected to strengthen cross-sector coordination
with village governments, Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK), and related
institutions.
