Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah semua ibu yang memiliki balita usia 0-60 bulan yang berjumlah 366 ibu. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan simple random sampling dan diperoleh sampel sebesar 79 orang. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan kuesioner tertutup, responden tinggal memilih jawaban dengan memberikan tanda tertentu dari pertanyaan yang diajukan. Analisis data menggunakan uji chi square pada batas kepercayaan 95% (0,05) (Arikunto, 2016). Penelitian ini dilaksankana di Desa Ngalang pada bulan 8 Juni samapai 2 Agustus 2020. Hasil penelitian: persepsi ibu yang menganggap rentan terhadap masalah gizi berdasarkan analisa data dengan uji chi square didapatkan nilai significancy 0,828 sehingga tidak ada hubungan antara persepsi kerentanan dengan status gizi. Sedangkan Persepsi manfaat untuk mencegah masalah gizi didapatkan analisa data dengan uji chi square didapatkan nilai significancy 0,235 sehingga tidak ada hubungan antara persepsi manfaat dengan status gizi.

Methods: This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all mothers who have children aged 0-60 months, amounting to 366 mothers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling and obtained a sample of 79 people. The data was collected using a closed questionnaire, the respondents just need to choose the answer by giving certain signs of the questions asked. Data analysis used the chi square test at the 95% confidence limit (0.05) (Arikunto, 2016). This research was conducted in Ngalang Village from June 8 to August 2 2020. The results: the perception of mothers who think they are vulnerable to nutritional problems based on data analysis with the chi square test obtained a significance value of 0.828 so there is no relationship between perceived vulnerability and nutritional status. Meanwhile, the perception of benefits to prevent nutritional problems, data analysis with the chi square test obtained a significance value of 0.235 so that there is no relationship between perceived benefits and nutritional status.
