Abstract

Sweetened beverages are drinks that contain high amounts of calories and sugar but provide little to no significant nutritional value. Limited public awareness, including among elementary school students, regarding the health risks associated with consuming sweet and artificially colored drinks may contribute to increased consumption habits. This behavior can raise the risk of various health problems, including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and kidney failure. This study aimed to determine the effect of health education on students’ knowledge regarding the dangers of consuming sweetened and colored beverages. This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study involved 90 respondents selected through the Total Sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed through univariate and bivariate methods using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed that before receiving health education, most respondents had a moderate to low level of knowledge. After the intervention, students’ knowledge improved significantly, with the majority achieving a good level of knowledge. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05), indicating a significant effect of health education on students’ knowledge. Therefore, health education was found to be effective in increasing students’ understanding of the dangers of consuming sweetened and colored beverages.

Abstract

Introduction: Adolescence is a time to determine choices about what to do, including smoking behavior. Smoking is an action that is considered normal by today's society, even though it has high health risks. Purpose: This study aims to determine the relationship between emotional support and assessment/appreciation support on smoking behavior in adolescents in the Donggala Health Center work area. Smoking behavior in adolescents is a serious health problem that can have long-term impacts on their well-being. Method: This study is a quantitative study with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 73 adolescents who actively smoke in the area. Data were collected through a questionnaire that measured the level of emotional support and assessment support and adolescent smoking behavior. Results: This study shows a significant relationship between emotional support and smoking behavior, (p <0.05), as well as assessment support and smoking behavior in adolescents (p <0.05). This study highlights the important role of family support in preventing smoking behavior in adolescents. Emotional support and positive assessment from the family can help adolescents make healthier decisions about smoking. Conclusion: This study concludes that the existence of other factors that influence smoking behavior indicates the importance of a comprehensive prevention approach, involving various parties such as educational institutions, communities, and further research, to develop effective prevention strategies for adolescents.
