Abstract

To evaluate empathetic communication training integrated with oral health education as an approach to stunting prevention. A participatory community-based program was conducted in Sukagalih involving Posyandu cadres. Activities included empathetic communication training, oral health education, implementation of a stunting early detection application, and monitoring and evaluation. The program improved cadres’ communication skills, increased community awareness of the link between oral health and stunting, and reduced stigma toward affected children. The application enabled earlier risk identification and enhanced trust in health interventions. Integrating empathetic communication, oral health education, and technology effectively supports stunting prevention by improving awareness and reducing stigma.
