INOVATION OF POSYANDU BASED ON CHILDRENS GROWTH AND

DEVELOPMENT STIMULATION AS THE WAY TO IMPROVE THE REACH OF
QUALITY OF INDONESIAN CHILDREN DEVELOPMENT.
The improvement of the societys understanding in health creates the international
agreement like,World Health Assembly in 1997, Alma Ata conference in 1978, and
penetapan Millenium Development Goals or often called as MDGs. In Indonesia,
there is a plan of healthy Indonesia vision, one of the strategy is the health service for
babies and moms, to stop the rate of the death of moms and babies in Indonesia.
One of the way to improve the childrens health is by holding Posyandu in all
area of Indonesia. By doing posyandu, the childrens health will improve. One of the
component in improving the children health is the childrens growth and
development. However, posyandu now only focuses on the growth, by scaling the
babys weight, observing the nutrition, promoting the nutrition for children, and
serving babys nutrition while the development of the children is not yet given
attention.
In fact, the children development which focuses on the stimulation of growth
and development is very important. The development of children can be seen from
their movement ability and language ability. Each child has different stage of growth
and development based on their ages. One of the way to help reaching the growth and
development of the children based on their ages is by giving stimulation. The children
who do not get growth and development stimulation and who get lack of attention
often face development disorder. Beside that, giving growth and stimultion will help
the children to reach their development stage in line with their ages.
As the above problems occur, it is neccesary to improve the health service for
children by holding posyandu which is based on the growth and development of
chidren in Indonesia as the way to improve the future generation. That way is focused
on the measurement of the growth and development of the children, the education of
babys growth and development, and the pre-detection of the late in reaching the
babys growth and development.
Based on the problem above, one of the program can be carried out is
developing Posyandu which becames the important thing in improving the health of
infant and baby to the Posyandu based on the stimulation of childrens growth and
development. This means Posyandu which now has 5 table should be added with one

table for the table centre of stimulation of childrens growth and development. The
program on that table involves measuring the reach of the childrens growth and
development based on the stage of the age, educating childrens growth and
development stimulation for moms, pre-detection of the late in reaching the babys
growth and development. By holding Posyandu which is based on the growth and
development of children will improve the quality of the indonesians generation.
The quality of childrens growth is not only seen from the children nutrition
and their physicall appearence, but is also seen from the reaching of the children
development based on their ages. The childrens growth and development can be
maximized by giving stimulation on the childrens growth and development so the
late of the reaching growth and development can be avoided. Posyandu as the
important thing in serving babys health, which is proven to give contribution on the
quality of children health in Indonesia, can be develop to the Posyandu which is based
on the stimulation of childrens growth and development. This is hope to help
improving the quality of indonesians generation by the maximum reach of childrens
growth and development.
By holding the health service like posyandu which is based on the stimulation
of childrens growth and development, it is expected to:

With this program,it is hoped to be one of the new strategy in the field of society health and
also for the health centre especially Posyandu. This program is also hoped to help the
betterment of nutrition quality and the development of children in Indonesia. Posyandu which
usually only has 5 proggrammes , which is usually called program five table, by adding
one table focused on the stimulation of childrens growth and development will improve the
children health.

The expected benefits from that program is Pos Pelayanan Terpadu (posyandu) as the
one of facilities to improve childrens growth and development. The other expected benefits
from Posyandu based on childrens growth and development stimulation are:
1. Knowing the reach of childrens growth and development based on the stages of
the age.
2. Developing societys knowldege about childrens growth and development.
3. Pre-detecting the late of childrens growth and development.
4. Improving societys knowledge about the way to stimulate chidrens growth and
development.
5. Improving parents understanding of the importance of the quality of childrens
growth and development.
6. Improving the understanding of the process of childrens development.
Back to the begining concept that Posyandu is communication community,
technology swift and health service by the society and for the society which has
strategic value to develop human resources. Posyandu is also an activity to give
service of health and keluarga berencana which is supported by petugas kesehatan
to reach Norma Keluarga Kecil Bahagia Sejahtera (NKKBS). Posyandu is also usaha
mayarakat, where there is combination between professional service and non
professional (by society). Posyandu has a cooperation with some proggrams such as
KIA, KB, nutrition, imunity injection, and diarrea prevention. Beside that posyandu
also has cooperation with some departments like Departemen Kesehatan RI,
Depdagri/Bangdes, and BKKBN, also group community like pos desa, kelompok
timbang/pos timbang, pos imunisasi, pos kesehatan dll. Posyandu has the same
goal, those are babies 0-1 year old, babies 1-4 years old, pregnant moms, and PUS.
Posyandu use the development approach and PKMD/PHC.
Children stimulation development is a stimulation to improve childrens
thinking quality and brain development. Chidren stimulation is important because it
affects the children intelligence. If the stimulation is not given in their early ages their
intelligence will be low, it will result on their ability to receive that stimulation.
The Realization of the Posyandu based on childrens growth and development
is began with penyuluhan after that will be held posyandu with six tables system. Six
table is a new system by adding one table in each posyandu. This table focuses on
childrens growth and deveopment stimulation program, including:
1. Scoring childrens growth and development based on the age stage.
2. Education the stimulation way of childrens growth and development.

3. Pre-detection of childrens growth and development stimuation.
