According to the Global Nutrition Report 2018, there are 150.8 million (22.2%) children under five in the world are stunting, 55% from Asia. Indonesia ranks 17th out of 117 countries, with a stunting prevalence of 21.6% in 2022. Although, an innovation is still needed to solve the existing cases and prevent the new cases. The innovation is ASTU (Acupressure Stunting): as the Digitization of Acupressure Education as an Effort to Prevent Stunting in Toddlers, which provides information about stunting and complementary therapy with acupressure techniques. In this study using non-probability sampling with a variation of quota sampling requiring a sample of 25 respondents. Identification of 25 respondentss level of knowledge about stunting and acupressure before and after using the ASTU Application was carried out by providing questions through Google Forms. The results of obtaining pre-test scores from 25 respondents, the average is 46.8, and after being given a pre-test, respondents were given an ASTU application to understand stunting and acupressure. Then respondents given a posttest, and the average is 89.6. The paired T-test shows that there is a significant difference between respondents knowledge levels before and after using the application. The mean value of 42,800 indicates that there is a trend of increasing knowledge. The average is 4.04.

The study concludes that the ASTU application is feasible and well-received by the community.It can be utilized as an educational tool to enhance toddlers appetite and contribute to the prevention of stunting in Indonesia.The paired T-test results demonstrate a significant difference in respondents knowledge levels before and after using the application, indicating a positive impact on understanding stunting and acupressure techniques.

Berdasarkan hasil penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai efektivitas aplikasi ASTU dan intervensi akupresur dalam pencegahan stunting. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan dengan melibatkan sampel yang lebih besar dan beragam secara geografis untuk memastikan generalisasi hasil. Kedua, studi komparatif dapat dilakukan dengan membandingkan efektivitas aplikasi ASTU dengan metode edukasi kesehatan tradisional lainnya untuk menentukan pendekatan yang paling optimal. Ketiga, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali pengalaman dan persepsi ibu-ibu mengenai penggunaan aplikasi ASTU dan dampaknya terhadap praktik pemberian makan dan perawatan anak, sehingga dapat memberikan wawasan yang lebih mendalam mengenai faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi keberhasilan intervensi ini. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam upaya penurunan angka stunting di Indonesia melalui pendekatan inovatif dan berbasis teknologi.
