Family nursing care was conducted over 8 days, with the Tui Na massage intervention provided for 5 consecutive days. Data were collected through interviews, observation, physical examination, and documentation. After five days of Tui Na massage, both children showed an increase in appetite, as indicated by eating three times a day and being able to finish ¾–1 serving of food, as well as an improvement in family health care practices. The implementation of Family-Centered Nursing with the Tui Na massage intervention was beneficial in improving the appetite of children with stunting, as well as enhancing family knowledge, skills, and the family's health care function in providing independent child care.
