Based on SSGI (Studi Status Gizi Indonesia), the stunting rate in 2019 was 27.7% and 24.4% in 2021. The stunting rate in Indonesia is still high when compared to WHO standards, which must be less than 20%. Perception is used as a foundation or prediction in behaving. Mother's perception of stunting will influence the behavior or actions that will be taken by the mother related to fulfilling the nutrition of children who are at risk of stunting.
