ABSTRAKLatar belakang penelitian ini adalah masih banyak ibu hamil yang kekurangan energi kronik (KEK). KEK mempunyai dampak kesehatan terhadap ibu dan janin antara lain dapat meningkatkan resiko tinggi BBLR, Keguguran, lahir premature, kematian ibu dan bayi baru lahir. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui hasil pemberian makanan tambahan (PMT) dan perubahan lingkar lengan atas ibu hamil kekurangan energi kronik (KEK). Desain penelitian ini adalah eksperimen sebelum dan sesudah di berikan PMT. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh ibu hamil KEK yaitu 24 responden. Dengan teknik penelitian total sampling yang berjumlah 24 responden. Pemberian makana tambahan dilakukan selama 90 hari. Teknik pengambilan data dengan metode observasi langsung. Uji statistik yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah Chi Square. Dari hasil analisis univariat didapatkan resonden dengan umur terbanyak <30 tahun (20 responden), pendidikan terbanyak SMP (17 responden), pekerjaan terbanyak yaitu ibu rumah tangga (14 responden), berat badan ibu hamil KEK mengalami peningkatan setelah di beri PMT sealam 3 bulan (43,6±5,04 kg) dan peningkatan LILA pada ibu hamil KEK setelah diberikan PMT selama 3 bulan (22,6±1,23 cm). Untuk analisis bivariat menggunakan Chi Square didapatkan hasil nilai signifikan (p=0,000) yang berarti ada hubungan pemberian makanan tambahan (PMT) dengan perubahan lingkar lengan atas ibu hamil kekurangan energi kronik (KEK) di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Plupuh II tahun 2019.Kata Kunci: pemberian makanan tambahan (PMT), lingkar lengan atas, ibu hamil kekurangan energi kronik (KEK).RELATIONSHIP OF SUPPLEMENT OF SUPPLEMENTARY FOOD (PMT) WITH A CHANGE OF ARMS TO PREGNANT WOMEN LACK OF CHRONIC ENERGYABSTRACTThe background of this study is that there are still many pregnant women who lack chronic energy (KEK). KEK has health impacts on the mother and the fetus, among others, can increase the high risk of LBW, miscarriage, premature birth, death of mothers and newborns. The purpose of this study was to determine the results of supplementary feeding (PMT) and changes in the upper arm circumference of chronic energy deficiency pregnant women (KEK). The design of this study was an experiment before and after being given PMT. The population of this study were all pregnant women in KEK, namely 24 respondents. With the total sampling research technique, amounting to 24 respondents. Additional feeding was carried out for 90 days. The data collection technique used direct observation method. The statistical test used in this study is Chi Square. From the results of univariate analysis, it was found that respondents with the most age were <30 years (20 respondents), the most education was junior high school (17 respondents), the most occupations were housewives (14 respondents), the weight of pregnant women in KEK had increased after being given PMT for 3 months (43.6 ± 5.04 kg) and the increase in LILA in pregnant women with KEK after being given PMT for 3 months (22.6 ± 1.23 cm). For bivariate analysis using Chi Square, a significant value was obtained (p = 0.000), which means that there is a relationship between supplemental feeding (PMT) and changes in the upper arm circumference of chronic energy deficiency pregnant women (KEK) in the work area of Plupuh II Public Health Center in 2019. Keywords: supplementary feeding (PMT), upper arm circumference, pregnant women with chronic energy deficiency (KEK).
