Abstract

Background: Stunting in Jambi Province recorded a significant increase to 17.1% (2024), exceeding the national trend. This chronic nutritional problem requires interventions focused on changing parental attitudes and behaviours, supported by health information technology (e-Health). Objective: This study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of the CANTIK UNJA (Prevent Child Stunting with UNJA Health Information Technology) application in improving attitudes and behaviours for stunting prevention, as well as to test the adoption of this digital application. Methods: This quasi- experimental study, with a One-Group pretest-posttest design, involved 60 parents of toddlers (0-24 months) at the Jambi City Community Health Centre (Puskesmas). The intervention involved using the CANTIK UNJA application for eight weeks. Effectiveness was measured using the Growth Monitoring Attitudes and Behaviour Questionnaire (pre-post), while adoption was measured using the Acceptance and Usefulness Questionnaire (TAM). Analysis used the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results showed a significant increase in mean scores in Attitudes (p<0.001) and Behaviour (p=0.004) after the intervention. Technology acceptance was very high, with 87.5% of respondents rating it as highly useful and 92.1% rating it as highly easy to use. Conclusion: The CANTIK UNJA app has proven effective in improving attitudes and behaviours. It is highly accepted by users, making it a potential e-Health model for integrated stunting management in Jambi.
