Abstract

Latar Belakang : Status gizi balita merupakan salah satu indikator penting dalam menilai derajat kesehatan masyarakat karena masa balita merupakan periode emas yang sangat menentukan pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak. Salah satu faktor yang dapat memengaruhi status gizi balita adalah perilaku makan, khususnya perilaku picky eater, yang ditandai dengan kebiasaan pilih-pilih makanan dan keterbatasan variasi konsumsi pangan. Tujuan Penelitian : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh perilaku picky eater terhadap status gizi balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Jeuram Kabupaten Nagan Raya. Metode Penelitian : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross sectional. Populasi penelitian adalah seluruh ibu yang memiliki balita usia 1–5 tahun sebanyak 986 orang, dengan jumlah sampel 92 responden yang ditentukan menggunakan rumus Slovin. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui wawancara, sedangkan analisis data menggunakan analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan uji chi-square. Hasil Penelitian : Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar balita memiliki status gizi normal (54,3%) dan lebih dari setengah balita menunjukkan perilaku picky eater (55,4%). Hasil analisis bivariat menunjukkan terdapat pengaruh yang signifikan antara perilaku picky eater terhadap status gizi balita dengan nilai p = 0,009 (p < 0,05). Balita dengan perilaku picky eater cenderung lebih banyak mengalami status gizi kurang dibandingkan dengan balita non picky eater. Kesimpulan dan saran : kesimpulan penelitian ini adalah perilaku picky eater berpengaruh terhadap status gizi balita. Oleh karena itu, disarankan kepada orang tua untuk meningkatkan pengelolaan perilaku makan anak melalui pemberian makanan yang beragam dan bergizi seimbang, serta kepada tenaga kesehatan untuk memperkuat kegiatan edukasi dan promosi gizi guna mencegah terjadinya masalah gizi pada balita.
