Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of KIT DENTING, an interactive multimodal nutrition education kit, in improving mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward stunting prevention compared with conventional leaflet-based education. Methods: A quasi-experimental study with a nonequivalent pre–post-test control group design was conducted among 60 mothers of children aged 0–23 months in the working area of Pakem Primary Health Center, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta. Participants were assigned to an intervention group that received nutrition education using KIT DENTING or a control group that received leaflet-based education. Knowledge and attitudes were assessed at baseline (pre-test), 1 week after the intervention (post-test 1), and 4 weeks after the intervention (post-test 2). Data were analyzed using paired and independent statistical tests to examine within- and between-group differences. Results: Both groups showed significant improvements in knowledge following the intervention. In contrast, the intervention group demonstrated greater and more sustained improvements in knowledge and attitudes at both follow-up points. Compared with the control group, the intervention group sustained knowledge gains and showed improvements in attitudes, but with reduced effect consistency at four weeks of follow-up. Conclusion: Nutrition education using the interactive multimodal KIT DENTING was more effective than leaflet-based education in improving and sustaining mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward stunting prevention. These findings support the integration of interactive, multimodal nutrition education tools into community-based IYCF and stunting-prevention programs at the primary health care level.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examined the effectiveness of a website-based balanced nutrition education program grounded in the Health Belief Model on the knowledge and perceptions of early adolescents, comparing it with conventional educational media. Methods: This quasi-experimental, pre- test-posttest control group study was conducted in Sleman, Yogyakarta (February–May 2025). Junior high school students from SMPN 1 Mlati received the website-based nutrition intervention (three 30-minute sessions on days 1, 3, and 5), while those from SMPN 1 Seyegan served as the control group (conventional/printed media). Knowledge and perceptions were assessed using structured questionnaires before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed to evaluate within- and between- group changes. Results: Both groups showed a significant increase in knowledge scores after the intervention (intervention: 39.90 to 48.43, Δ=8.53, p<0.001; control: 37.00 to 45.44, Δ=8.44, p<0.001). Perception scores also increased significantly in both groups (intervention: 48.28 to 52.27, Δ=3.99, p<0.001; control: 50.75 to 52.03, Δ=1.28, p=0.032). However, between-group analysis indicated no significant difference in knowledge improvement (p=0.911), whereas perception improvement was significantly greater in the intervention group (p=0.004). This finding suggests that website-based nutrition education serves as a more effective "cue to action" for fostering positive perceptions of balanced nutrition than conventional media. Conclusion: Website-based balanced nutrition education is more effective at shaping students' perceptions than conventional media and holds potential as a theory-based school health promotion strategy.
