Surakarta, PT Solo Abadi Indonesia — In reducing stunting, PT Solo Abadi Indonesia is again here to educate the public through the “Talk About Stunting” program by inviting the elected Central Java Genre Ambassador in 2022, Putri Amaranggana on Friday (27/05/2022). It was previously known that Putri Amaranggana was a Surakarta Genre Ambassador selected in 2021, then advanced to the Central Java Province level and was selected to be the champion of the Central Java Genre Ambassador in 2022.
This talk about starting was packaged in the form of a talk show hosted by Aisyah Yuri Oktavania as a team of journalists from Solo Abadi. This event will later be published on solo Abadi podcasts and YouTube to invite many people to be more aware of education from an early age. Discussing stunting, Putri Amaranggana as an adolescent icon in stunting prevention took part in realizing government programs related to stunting, especially BKKBN. The genre or abbreviation of the planning generation is a group of teenagers who care about current adolescent issues, stunting, and family.
Putri Amaranggana or better called Putri explained her role and her responsibilities as a genre ambassador.
“The responsibility as a genre ambassador is pretty much it. Not only dealing with the problem of juvenile delinquency, but also stunting. Because this stunting is again a boom in the case and a fairly serious problem by the government, especially BKKBN. So I took part as an ambassador to deliver various programs from the government. Then try to implement these programs so that they are realized in a real way in the community.” Obviously Putri.
Given this responsibility, Putri also went down directly to socialize about stunting in villages, brides-to-be, PKK mothers, and young children. This socialization activity is routinely carried out, starting from September to November 2021.
“In addition to direct socialization, we as ambassadors are also required to actively educate stunting and current adolescent issues through social media such as Instagram. The goal is to influence by reaching more people.” Added.
Preventing Stunting Starts From Adolescence
Putri also explained to all of us, especially young women that we have a very important role in stunting prevention for the long term. It starts with implementing healthy living nutrition from an early age to avoid sexually transmitted diseases. Because this is also the cause of giving birth to stunted children.
Stunting prevention early begins in adolescence by implementing several healthy behaviors. First, is the habit of consuming fruits and vegetables. Second, reduce junk food or fast food. Third, exercise to maintain health for the long term. Fourth, take blood-added tablets to avoid anemia. If you don’t like to consume blood-added tablets, they can also be replaced by consuming green vegetables and fruits.
Posyandu as an Educational Place for Stunting Prevention From An Early Age
During her tenure as a Genre Ambassador of Surakarta City in 2021, Putri saw that the posyandu facilities in Surakarta City were quite good. “Especially now that Surakarta City is a pilot city in reducing stunting. This is an achievement of Surakarta City in suppressing stunting. We know this based on simultaneous weighing at puskesmas and posyandu.” Putri Ameranggana said.
However, according to him, there is also something that must be improved again at posyandu and puskesmas in Surakarta City. Such as emphasizing the importance of nutritional fulfillment to young women. Considering the role of posyandu here is not only to educate pregnant women but also as a place for counseling adolescent children. Because today’s teenagers do not know the urgency of stunting, they think the term to get married and have children is still long. Stunting prevention starts in adolescence. So from now on, we as teenagers must begin to be aware of stunting prevention.
Meanwhile, equipment in knowing the risk of stunting or measuring instruments at Posyandu must also be improved or improved again. By using sophisticated measuring instruments, the risk of stunting is also easy to know and handle.
Let’s Be an Stunting Growth Aware Teenager!
Putri also conveyed an interesting experience when socializing stunting in adolescents, some are enthusiastic, some are passive during socialization. Because they do not understand the importance of preventing stunting and juvenile delinquency. However, there are also adolescents who understand and are aware of the importance of preventing stunting. In fact, many questions have entered his Instagram DM related to stunting.
“As an Ambassador, I have the awareness to know a future plan that is useful in the future by applying honing, loving, and nurturing patterns for our family in the future. How the readiness of parents in parenting is also one that must be considered in stunting prevention.” To be clear.
At the end of the event, Putri Amaranggana invited all young men and women to prepare early to prevent stunting for future generations. “If possible, we will not only rely on government programs, but we also take part in efforts to prevent stunting. Starting from ourselves, it is important to maintain adequate nutrition and a healthy lifestyle from an early age.” Invite him.
