Desain penelitian yang digunakan yaitu cross sectional dan studi kualitatif. Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan September 2015 hingga Januari 2016. Gambaran pola asuh ibu diperoleh dari data primer dengan cara observasi dan wawancara mendalam. Data status gizi diperoleh dari data sekunder yang ada di PPG Rawat Inap UPT Puskesmas Kecamatan Sukmajaya. Terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan (P value <0.05) antara nilai rata-rata status gizi pasien berdasarkan indeks BB/U, PB/U atau TB/U, dan BB/PB atau BB/TB saat masuk dan pulang dari PPG Rawat InapUPT Puskesmas Kecamatan Sukmajaya. Secara garis besar, pola asuh ibu dalam PHBS dan perilaku pencarian kesehatan cukup. Pola asuh dalam hal persiapan dan pemberian makan anak masih kurang sehingga perlu diperbaiki. Status gizi baik balita gagal dipertahankan karena persentase asupan makanan balita di rumah pasca perawatan lebih rendah dibandingkan fase rehabilitasi di PPG Rawat Inap UPT Puskesmas Kecamatan Sukmajaya.
