Abstract
Pandemi Covid-19 diprediksi akan meningkatkan jumlah angka balita stunting di seluruh dunia, termasuk Indonesia. Praktik pemenuhan nutrisi yang tepat merupakan salah satu upaya dalam pencegahan dan penanganan stunting yang jika diabaikan akan mengakibatkan dampak jangka pendek dan panjang yang ireversibel. Peran keluarga menjadi sangat penting dalam pemenuhan nutrisi balita di tengah berbagai keterbatasan akses terhadap layanan kesehatan dan ketersediaan bahan pangan yang menurun sebagai dampak pandemi Covid-19. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mendapatkan gambaran dan pemahaman secara mendalam tentang arti dan makna pengalaman keluarga dalam pemenuhan nutrisi balita stunting pada masa pandemi Covid-19 di Desa Wonorejo Kabupaten Malang. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan fenomenologi deskriptif dengan metode wawancara mendalam (in-depth interview). Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 11 orang yang merupakan pengasuh utama balita stunting dalam keluarga. Hasil penelitian ini dianalisis menggunakan teknik Colaizzi (1978) dan menghasilkan 7 tema antara lain: i) Pandangan keluarga tentang stunting, ii) Sektor-sektor terdampak pandemi Covid-19 yang berisiko meningkatkan kejadian stunting, iii) Pola pemberian makan pada balita stunting di masa pandemi Covid-19, iv) Kerawanan pangan rumah tangga dan kondisi balita sebagai kendala utama pemenuhan nutrisi balita stunting di masa pandemi Covid-19, v) Upaya yang dilakukan keluarga dalam pemenuhan nutrisi balita stunting di masa pandemi Covid-19, vi) Hikmah yang dirasakan keluarga dalam pemenuhan nutrisi balita stunting selama pandemi Covid-19, dan vii) Pelayanan kesehatan yang efektif di masa pandemi Covid-19. Diperlukan peran perawat dan keterlibatan seluruh elemen masyarakat dalam menganalisis kebutuhan dan merancang program pencegahan dan penanggulangan stunting yang tepat sasaran serta sesuai dengan kondisi masyarakat di masa pandemi Covid-19.
