Latar Belakang: Peningkatan dan performanceTenaga Pelaksana Gizi (TPG) dalam memberikan informasi mutlak diperlukan. TPG Puskesmas ujung tombak dalam menginput data antropometri yang menjadi sumber data bagi dinas kesehatan, dan fondasi data status gizi. Menciptakan informasi data akurat, representatif dan reliable, maka tenaga gizi sebagai end-user perlu pemberdayaan standar pertumbuhan WHO untuk menghasilkan data gizi berkualitas. Tujuannya membandingkan efektivitas pelatihan standar pertumbuhan WHO berbasis software WHO Anthrodengan berbasis manual terhadap persepsi TPG dan kualitas informasi data status gizi. Metode: Penelitian kuantitatif ini menggunakan jenis Quasi Experimental, dengan rancangan pretest posttest non equivalent group. Subjek diambil sebanyak 40 TPG secara non-random assignment. Analisis data menggunakan software R-Statistik, meliputi uji statistik Dependent T-Test dan Independent T-Test dengan CI:95%. Hasil: Terdapat pengaruh signifikan pelatihan dan penerapan standar pertumbuhan WHO Anthro dalam meningkatkan persepsi TPG dan kualitas informasi data gizi, dengan p-value< 0,05. Pelatihan berbasis software WHO Antro mempunyai efektivitas yang lebih baik dalam meningkatkan persepsi TPG dan kualitas informasi data gizi, dengan p-value< 0,05. Sedangkan, aspek relevansi (p=0,40120) pada persepsi tidak menunjukan efektivitas (p-value> 0,05). Kesimpulan: Pelatihan dan penerapan standar pertumbuhan WHO Anthro berpengaruh terhadap peningkatan persepsi TPG dan kualitas informasi data status gizi, dan mempunyai efektivitas yang lebih baik persepsi TPG maupun kualitas informasi data status gizi di wilayah Dinas Kesehatan Kota Banda Aceh.

Background: The improvement and performance of Community Nutritionists (CN) on giving information are absolutely needed. Community Nutritionists of a local clinic are the key on giving anthropometric data for the Health service and as the underlying data on nutrition status. In order to provide accurate, representative and reliable data, Nutritionists, as the end-user, need to employ WHO growth standard to bring in qualified nutrition data. This is aimed to compare the effectiveness of software-based WHO Anthro training with the manual-based one toward Community Nutritionists' perception and information data of nutrition status. Method: This was a qualitative research. The study used quasi experimental by means of pretest posttest non equivalent group. The subjects of the research were 40 Community Nutritionists. They were chosen using non-random assignment. The data analysis used R-statistic software; including dependent T-test and independent T-test with CI:95%. Results: There is significance influence of the training and the implementation of WHO Antro in improving Community Nutritionists' perception and the quality of nutrition data information, with p-value < 0,05. Software-based WHO Anthro training has better effectiveness in improving Community Nutritionists' perception and the quality of nutrition data information, with p-value > 0,05. On the other hand, the aspect of relevance on perception did not show effectiveness (p-value > 0,05). Conclusion: The training and implementation of WHO Anthro growth standard influence the improvement of Community Nutritionists' perception and the information quality of nutrition data status. In addition, the training and the implementation had better effectiveness both on Community Nutritionists' perception and the information quality of nutrition data at health service of Banda Aceh
