Abstract


The problem of stunting needs to be a concern because stunting can interfere with intelligence, metabolism in the
body, and physical growth. The stunting prevalence rate in Indonesia is still far above the limit set by the WHO,
which is below 20%, this shows that the stunting problem in Indonesia is classified as a chronic problem.
Psychoeducation in the form of providing information about stunting can help prevent stunting in children. The
method used in this study is a literature review study. The database used in the source search is Google Schler.
The search for articles was carried out by collecting themes about the effect of psychoeducation on stunting in
preventing stunting in toddlers. Psychoeducation about stunting is effective in increasing parents' knowledge
about stunting and is also needed not only for housewives or married women but also for late teens who have not
yet entered the marriage phase as a provision for them when having and raising children.
