A good nutritional status can help the child's growth and development process to reach optimal maturity. Nutritional status can detect the risk of health problems early. Perception of vulnerability is a person's belief by assuming suffering from a disease is the result of carrying out certain behaviors. Perception of benefits means that perceptions of nutritional status monitoring can be used as a form of anticipation in planning to improve children's health status (Soekirman, 2006). Objective: To determine the relationship between perceived vulnerability and perceived benefits on the nutritional status of children under five. Methods: This study is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study were all mothers who have children aged 0-60 months, amounting to 366 mothers. The sampling technique used simple random sampling and obtained a sample of 79 people. The data was collected using a closed questionnaire, the respondents just need to choose the answer by giving certain signs of the questions asked. Data analysis used the chi square test at the 95% confidence limit (0.05) (Arikunto, 2016). This research was conducted in Ngalang Village from June 8 to August 2 2020. The results: the perception of mothers who think they are vulnerable to nutritional problems based on data analysis with the chi square test obtained a significance value of 0.828 so there is no relationship between perceived vulnerability and nutritional status. Meanwhile, the perception of benefits to prevent nutritional problems, data analysis with the chi square test obtained a significance value of 0.235 so that there is no relationship between perceived benefits and nutritional status.
