Pelatihan Kader Posyandu Tentang Pengolahan Makanan Tambahan Berbasis Pangan Lokal Untuk Balita Dan Ibu Hamil
Abstract
Abstract: Pregnancy and toddlerhood are crucial periods that determine a child’s future growth and development. In Wonosari Village, the nutritional intake of pregnant women and toddlers is below the recommended dietary allowance. One of the specific nutritional interventions that can be implemented is the provision of supplementary food (PMT) based on local food. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of posyandu cadres regarding the PMT based on local food for toddlers and pregnant women. The program involved training 40 cadres in the working area of Dalu Sepuluh Health Center, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency, on May 28, 2025. The training consisted of delivering material on the concept of local food-based PMT and hands-on practice in processing supplementary food. Knowledge was evaluated through pre- and post-tests. Skills were evaluated through observation during processing practices. The results indicated an increase in cadres’ knowledge, with the average score rising from 95.4 to 99.4. Skills also improved, particularly in the accuracy of ingredient measurement and appropriate portion determination. These findings imply that local food-based PMT training can enhance the capacity of posyandu cadres and contribute to strengthening community-based efforts in improving maternal and child nutrition.
