Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem caused by long-term insufficient nutrient intake, especially during the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK). Husband support plays an important role in the successful implementation of the 1000 HPK program through balanced nutrition, exclusive breastfeeding, and healthy parenting practices. Bukit Samang Village has the highest prevalence of stunting within the working area of UPTD Puskesmas Sendana I, which is 50%, indicating the need to examine the role of husband support in shaping mothers’ attitudes toward stunting prevention. This study aimed to determine the relationship between husband support in implementing the First 1000 Days of Life (HPK) and mothers’ attitudes toward stunting prevention in Bukit Samang Village. The research used a quantitative analytic observational design with a cross-sectional and retrospective approach. The population included all mothers with children aged 25–60 months, and a total of 76 respondents were selected using purposive sampling, with criteria of mothers living with their husbands and actively participating in posyandu (community health post) activities. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed with the ChiSquare test at a significance level of 0.05. Based on the analysis, most respondents were aged 20–35 years, had secondary education (senior high school), and worked as entrepreneurs. The univariate analysis showed that the majority of respondentshad a moderate level of husband support (60 respondents; 78.9%) and high support (16 respondents; 21.1%). Most mothers demonstrated a positive attitude toward stunting prevention (65.8%). The bivariate analysis revealed a significant relationship between husband support in the 1000 HPK implementation and mothers’ attitudes toward stunting prevention (p < 0.05). Mothers who received high husband support tended to have more positive and consistent attitudes in preventing stunting compared to those with lower support. In conclusion, husband support plays an essential role in shaping mothers’ attitudes toward stunting prevention during the First 1000 Days of Life. Therefore, increasing husband involvement through family health education programs is necessary to optimize stunting prevention efforts.
