Anthropometric knowledge and measurement evaluation among female volunteer community health workers in Depok

by

Authors: Dian Luthfiana Sufyan, Firlia Ayu Arini, Ibnu Malkan Bakhrul Ilmi, Avliya Quratul Marjan, Iin Fatmawati

This study evaluated the knowledge, accuracy, and precision of female volunteer community health workers (FVCHWs) in anthropometric assessment for children’s nutritional status. Thirty-two participants were assessed after receiving education on anthropometric measurement. Results showed good precision but poor accuracy among FVCHWs, indicating the need for standardized procedures and regular equipment calibration. Knowledge scores significantly improved after education, highlighting the importance of ongoing and comprehensive training for FVCHWs.
