Mitigation of Stunting via the Implementation of Infant Massage in Indonesia: A Scoping Review
Abstract
Introduction: Stunting is a health concern resulting from chronic malnutrition during gestation and early childhood, resulting in inadequate growth and compromised development. An effective strategy to mitigate stunting is baby massage, which can promote growth, boost digestion, and improve the infant's overall health.
Objective: This study is to evaluate and summarize the current scientific evidence on the efficacy of baby massage in mitigating stunting and to establish a foundation for endorsing baby massage interventions within stunting prevention initiatives in developing countries.
Method: The Scoping review used the H. Arksey & L. O'Malley framework with the article selection process guided by the PRISMA protocol. The search for journal articles used the Proquest, PubMed, Google Scholar, Scopus, and Garuda.
Result: Infant massage can significantly enhance body length growth, weight gain, and developmental markers such as personal social skills, gross motor skills, fine motor skills, and language, which are crucial in preventing stunting.
Conclusion: This review identified significant advantages of infant massage for the growth and enhancement of newborns, including efforts to prevent hindrances. Consistent infant massage can augment weight and height, bolster the immune system, enhance motor development, fortify parent-child attachment, stimulate appetite and food consumption, and elevate infant sleep quality.
