<p><span><strong>ABSTRAK</strong></span></p><p><span><strong></strong><br /><span><strong><em>Latar belakang: </em></strong><span><em>Usia balita merupakan periode emas (golden periods) dalam proses tumbuh kembang </em><span><em>sehingga asupan zat gizi makro dan zat gizi mikro sangat dibutuhkan. Taburia merupakan bubuk </em><span><em>multivitamin dan multimineral yang dimaksudkan untuk memenuhi kebutuhan zat gizi mikro anak dan </em><span><em>mengatasi permasalahan kekurangan gizi mikro.</em><br /><span><strong><em>Tujuan: </em></strong><span><em>Untuk menganalisis pengaruh pemberian Taburia terhadap perubahan asupan energi dan zat </em><span><em>gizi anak usia 1-3 tahun.</em><br /><span><strong><em>Metode: </em></strong><span><em>Desain penelitian adalah quasi experimental study dengan pretest postest control group design, </em><span><em>dilakukan pada bulan Januari–Juli 2012 di wilayah Puskesmas Banjar Serasan Kecamatan Pontianak </em><span><em>Timur sebagai wilayah intervensi dan di wilayah Puskesmas Tambelan Sampit Kecamatan Pontianak </em><span><em>Timur sebagai wilayah kontrol. Pengumpulan data dilakukan pada 85 anak, terdiri dari 45 sampel dalam </em><span><em>kelompok intervensi dan 40 sampel dalam kelompok kontrol yang dipilih secara purposive sampling. Uji </em><span><em>beda pada karakteristik dianalisis dengan chi-square. Uji beda rata-rata perubahan asupan energi dan zat </em><span><em>gizi antara kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol dengan uji independent samples t-test. Asupan energi </em><span><em>dan zat gizi pretest dan post test dalam satu kelompok dianalisis menggunakan paired samples t-test.</em><br /><span><strong><em>Hasil</em></strong><span><em>: Hasil uji t-test terhadap rata-rata asupan energi dan zat gizi antara kedua kelompok menunjukkan </em><span><em>adanya perbedaan secara bermakna, kecuali vitamin B12 (p&lt;0,05). Rata-rata asupan energi dan zat </em><span><em>gizi pretest dan post test setelah dua bulan intervensi menunjukkan adanya peningkatan yang signifikan</em><br /><span><em>(p&lt;0,05).</em><br /><span><strong><em>Kesimpulan: </em></strong><span><em>Pemberian Taburia menghasilkan pengaruh positif berupa peningkatan rata-rata asupan </em><span><em>energi dan zat gizi.
