Abstract:
The mother's ability to stimulate children greatly determines the success of the stimulation of the first thousand days of life to support children's intelligence. The low ability of the mother to stimulate causes the child to get less stimulation so that he is vulnerable to experiencing deviations in child development and even permanent disorders. This study aimed to determine the effect of telenursing on the mother's ability to stimulate the development of children aged 9-12 months. This study used a pre-experimental research design with a pretest posttest one group design approach. Sampling used purposive sampling technique. The sample of this research was 16 people. This research instrument used SOP and SAP to assess telenursing and the SDIDTK checklist to assess the mother's ability to stimulate development based on the SDIDTK book. Data analysis used Wilcoxon test. The results suggested that there was an increase in the mother's ability to stimulate development from medium, as many as 10 people (62.5%), to high, as many as 14 people (87.5%). The Wilcoxon test results obtained a p-value of 0.000 or <α (0.05) so that H1 was accepted, which means that there was an influence of telenursing on the mother's ability to stimulate the development of children aged 9-12 months in the Balongrawe Baru neighborhood, Kedundung sub-district, Magersari district, Mojokerto city. All mothers experienced an increase in their ability to stimulate children's development scores, because with the information through pictures, chat, videos provided by researchers, and question and answer discussions, respondents got many benefits for stimulating child development.
