Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem in children that can occur from the womb to the beginning of a baby's life until they are two years old. Worms are an infectious disease caused by the STH (Soil Transmitted Helminths) worm parasite. The impact of worms on children is that it results in a decline in health and nutrition. One of the activities carried out is socialization about worm disease in stunted children as an effort to increase public awareness from an early age through monitoring children's growth and development at posyandu. The aim of PkM is to increase the knowledge of mothers of toddlers about preventing and treating stunting and worms. The method used is counseling through health education on how to prevent and treat worms early in stunted children. The PkM target is 28 mothers of toddlers. The implementation was carried out in Bone Village. The results of the outreach show that the education and knowledge of mothers of toddlers is still low so that the implementation of socialization activities can increase knowledge and build commitment among mothers with toddlers in the Bone Village area to monitor the nutritional status and growth and development of toddlers against worms at the Posyandu.

Poor environmental sanitation and malnutrition are the leading causes of STH infection. This study aims to determine the relationship between ecological sanitation, nutritional status, and STH infection incidence in elementary school children. This type of research is descriptive research. The research location is UPT SDN 060831, Medan City. The sample was 32 respondent, Medan City students, obtained using the total sampling technique. Data was collected using questionnaire instruments, Body Mass Index (BMI) examinations, and fecal examinations. The data were further analyzed univariately. The results showed that most environmental sanitation conditions did not qualify, such as latrine conditions (68.8%), SPAL conditions (75.0%), trash can conditions (87.5%), and clean water facilities (68.8%). Nutritional status (BMI/U) was most in the normal category (65.6%), and no helminth eggs were found in respondents (negative STH), so a relationship analysis could not be carried out. It is suggested that the school and parents support government programs related to providing mass worm- prevention drugs.

. Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) is a group of intestinal nematode worms that require soil for the maturation process so that there is a change from a non-infective stage to an infective stage. This study aims to find out whether in the coastal sand area of Sekupang District, Batam City, there are intestinal nematode eggs of the Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) group. The method used in this study is a survey method by taking sand samples from 3 different beaches, namely Tanjung Pinggir beach, Dangas beach, and Marina beach, then the sample is examined, namely by soaking the sample with 15 ml of saturated NaCl for 30 minutes stirring until evenly distributed with a stirring rod then transferred the soaking water in a test tube. Deck glass is placed on top at the mouth of the tube for 60 minutes. Then the sample was observed under a microscope with a magnification of 10 to 40 then analyzed descriptively by making a picture systematically. The results showed that there were no intestinal nematode worm eggs of the STH group in the beach sand sample so that it could be concluded that the tannjung beach sand area of Sekupang District, Batam City was free from contamination of intestinal nematode worm eggs of the soil transmitted helmith (STH) group.
