Abstract
Stunting and diabetes mellitus (DM) are pressing public health issues in Indonesia. This study assessed the effectiveness of nutritional education interventions aimed at improving knowledge and dietary practices among mothers of stunted children and elderly patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). The study was conducted at Puskesmas (Community Health Center) Kendal, East Java, involving two respondents: a mother of a stunted child and an elderly DM patient. The intervention utilized educational materials (leaflets), a 10-day menu cycle, and tailored counseling. The results indicated significant improvements in knowledge (30% for the mother and 20% for the elderly patient) and dietary adherence in the elderly patient. However, limited dietary changes were observed in the stunted child due to food preferences. These findings underscore the critical role of ongoing educational programs in addressing malnutrition and DM management.
