Abstract

Background: The prevalence of stunting in Indonesia is still high, reaching 30.8%, still far from the WHO tolerance limit of 20%. Stunting has impacts on growth and development disorders. Psychosocial stimulation is needed to support growth and development in children who have not experienced stunting or who have been diagnosed with stunting.
Purpose. Objective: to identify the effect of psychosocial stimulation through Interprofessional Collaborative approach on the mental and cognitif development of children under 2 years old (early childhood) before they are diagnosed with stunting
Methods: The systematic review uses electronic databases from Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, and ProQuest in 2011 - 2021. The search terms include psychosocial stimulation, early childhood, growth and development, nutritional status, and interprofessional collaboration. The review obtained 3515 articles and the results of data processing with the guidelines of Preferred Reporting Item for Systematic Reviews (PRISMA) of 2015 obtained 12 articles to analyse. The inclusion criteria include: psychosocial stimulation intervention, research of randomized control trial (RCT), and early childhood.
Results: 1) The form of psychosocial stimulation was not explained in details- 2) There has not been specific type of game intervention yet- 3) Intervention has not been done with IPC (Interprofessional Collaboration)- 4) The therapeutic effects found were mostly on the development of infants or children, and the effects on infants^ or children^s growth (weight, height) as criteria for stunting had not yet been measured.
Conclusion: Psychosocial stimulation has effects on the development of children under 2 years old (early childhood), but it is necessary to prove that it has effects on the growth of children^s weight and height by applying the interprofessional collaborative approach so that stunting cases can be detected and prevented early.
