Abstract
The current study aimed to determine the role of educational classes in increasing pregnant women’s knowledge of stunting prevention. Through the application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, this research is a literature review study that was picked from the most recent five years, 2020-2024. The PubMed database and Google Scholar are used as data sources, and the publish or perish tool is used to search for publications using the following keywords: stunting, educational classes, knowledge, and pregnant women. An example of a study protocol that researchers utilized was the Preferred Reporting Items for the PRISMA technique. This was a literature review study using a defined search strategy and inclusion and exclusion criteria. 352 articles were retrieved from PubMed and Google Scholar databases after duplicate records were removed. The selection process involved evaluating the title and abstract, study design, population, and outcomes. The full texts of some articles were accessible. Ultimately, this review contains nine studies. Educational classes are significant in the prevention of stunting because they have a substantial impact on improving knowledge.
