IND0NESIA:
Stunting merupakan permasalahan gizi kronis yang berdampak pada pertumbuhan fisik dan perkembangan kognitif anak, terutama pada usia balita. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui cara orang tua kandung merawat anak dengan diagnosa stunting di Desa Kemuja, Kabupaten Bangka, serta menggali alasan pemilihan metode perawatan tersebut dalam perspektif Bimbingan dan Konseling Islam.

Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif dengan teknik pengumpulan data melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Informan terdiri dari lima orang tua yang memiliki anak dengan kondisi stunting dan satu kader posyandu.

Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa orang tua melakukan perawatan melalui pemberian makanan bergizi, kunjungan rutin ke posyandu, menjaga kebersihan anak, dan memanfaatkan bantuan dari program desa. Namun, kendala seperti keterbatasan ekonomi, kurangnya pemahaman tentang gizi, dan rendahnya pendidikan menjadi faktor penghambat. Pendekatan perawatan yang dilakukan oleh orang tua sejalan dengan prinsip family centered care dan nilai-nilai dalam Bimbingan Konseling Islam, yang menekankan pentingnya kasih sayang, tanggung jawab, serta peran spiritual dalam merawat anak sebagai amanah dari Allah SWT. Dengan demikian, integrasi antara edukasi gizi, praktik keagamaan, dan bimbingan spiritual dapat menjadi model efektif dalam merawat anak dengan kondisi stunting.

ENGLISH:
Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects children's physical growth and cognitive development, especially in toddlers. This study aims to determine how biological parents care for children diagnosed with stunting in Kemuja Village, Bangka Regency, and to explore the reasons for choosing these care methods from the perspective of Islamic Guidance and Counseling. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with data collection techniques through interviews, observation, and documentation. The informants consisted of five parents who had children with stunting and one posyandu cadre. The results showed that parents provided care by giving nutritious food, making regular visits to the posyandu, maintaining their children's hygiene, and utilizing assistance from village programs. However, constraints such as economic limitations, lack of understanding about nutrition, and low education levels were hindering factors. The care approach taken by parents is in line with the principles of family-centered care and the values of Islamic Counseling, which emphasize the importance of compassion, responsibility, and the spiritual role in caring for children as a trust from Allah SWT. Thus, the integration of nutrition education, religious practices, and spiritual guidance can be an effective model in caring for children with stunting.
