Abstract

Background, Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that affects children’s physical growth and cognitive development. Stunting prevention should begin in the premarital period by improving prospective brides’ and grooms’ knowledge of its causal factors. Objective, This study aims to describe the level of knowledge among prospective brides and grooms regarding stunting causal factors at the KUA of Kebumen District. Methods, This study employed a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional design. A total of 82 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected using a validated and reliable knowledge questionnaire on stunting causal factors. Data were analyzed univariately and presented in frequency and percentage distributions. Results, The results showed that most respondents were aged 20–30 years and had a senior high school educational background. The majority of respondents had a moderate level of knowledge. Conclusion, The knowledge level of prospective brides and grooms regarding stunting causal factors was predominantly moderate, indicating the need for strengthened and structured premarital health education to support early stunting prevention. Recommendation, Strengthening stunting education through collaboration between the Office of Religious Affairs (KUA) and health professionals, as well as further research on factors influencing the level of knowledge of prospective brides and grooms, is needed.
