Stunting is a condition of a child's physical growth failure that occurs due to the
accumulation of nutritional deficiency in the long term, starting from pregnancy
until the child is 24 months old. The involvement of cadre roles has a great influence
on stunting prevention. Cadres are expected to play an active role and be able to be
a driver, motivator and extension of the community. How important it is to grow
motivation for the performance of health cadres, in carrying out the roles and duties
of cadres, motivation is also needed so that it is carried out well.
This research uses a quantitative approach with correlational descriptive design
and cross sectional method. The sampling technique used is total sampling,
involving 35 respondents of Posyandu Sri Rahayu cadres in Waled District, Cirebon

motivational indicators and cadre performance in the implementation of stunting
prevention programs.
Based on the bivariate analysis with the Spearman Rank test (Spearman's rho), the
correlation coefficient value of 0.788 and the significance value (p-value) of 0.000
was obtained. These results indicate that there is a strong and statistically
significant relationship between the level of motivation of cadres and their
performance in carrying out stunting prevention programs.
