Children's growth and development are significantly influenced by adequate and balanced
nutritional intake. A lack of appetite in children, driven by psychological factors, eating habits,
and environmental influences, can lead to weight loss and negatively affect their nutritional
status and overall development. Non-pharmacological efforts to address eating difficulties in
toddlers can include tuina massage. This study aimed to determine the effect of tuina massage
on children's appetite and weight. The research employed a pre-experimental one-group
design with pre-test and post-test assessments. The sample consisted of 30 respondents
selected through purposive sampling. A questionnaire was used to evaluate the variables of
appetite and body weight. Tuina massage was administered for 6 days, lasting 10-15 minutes
each session. Results indicated that the average appetite before the intervention fell within the
sufficient category, while after the intervention, it improved to the good category. Regarding
weight, the average before the intervention was 17.79 kg, and after the intervention, it
increased to 18.01 kg. Data analysis utilized the Wilcoxon test for the appetite variable,
yielding a p-value of 0.003, indicating a significant effect of tuina massage on enhancing
children's appetite. The weight variable was analyzed using the paired sample t-test, which
produced a p-value of 0.000, confirming that tuina massage significantly affects increasing
children's weight.
