Abstract

Under-five children with stunting are still commonly found in Indonesia, this issue is related to the culture. However, research on stunting children in terms of cultural aspects is still limited. The aim of this research was to identify the factors related to feeding patterns for stunting children based on transcultural nursing. This research used a cross-sectional approach, with 139 mothers of under-five stunting children as a sample. The variables were education, economy, regulation and policy, cultural values and lifestyle, religiosity and philosophy, social support and family, technology, and feeding patterns. The data was collected using questionnaires and tested with Spearman’s rho. The results show the relationship between feeding patterns and economics (p= 0,013; r = 0,210), regulation and policy (p = 0,040, r = 0,174), cultural values and lifestyle (p = 0,000; r = 0,502), social support and family (p = 0,000, r = 0,337), religiosity and philosophy (p = 0,000, r = 0,371), and technology (p = 0,017; r = 0,203), the feeding pattern was not related with education (p = 0,732). Cultural values and lifestyle are the dominant factors. The findings suggest that the factors based on a cultural approach can be used as a basis for preventing a stunting incident.
