Abstract

Nutritional problems among primary school children remain a significant public health concern, particularly in the context of the dual burden of malnutrition. This study aimed to examine changes in students’ nutritional knowledge following a school-based healthy plate education intervention. A quasi-experimental pre–post design without a control group was implemented among 63 students from grades IV to VI. The intervention integrated visual media, interactive instruction, and practical demonstrations based on the “My Plate” concept. Knowledge levels were assessed using structured pre-test and post-test instruments and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test. The results showed a substantial shift in knowledge distribution, with the proportion of students in the “good” category increasing from 23.8% to 71.4%. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (Z = -5.543, p < 0.001), with a large effect size (r = 0.69). No participant experienced a decrease in score after the intervention. These findings indicate that school-based interactive nutrition education incorporating visual and experiential components can effectively enhance primary school students’ nutritional knowledge. Further longitudinal studies are recommended to assess the sustainability of behavioral changes.

Abstract

Maternal anemia remains an important public health problem that increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes and contributes to factors associated with impaired fetal growth. This community empowerment program aimed to empower pregnant women through the utilization of PISBRO cookies as a complementary food to support hemoglobin improvement and reduce risk factors for stunting. The program was implemented in Bangun Rejo Village, Tanjung Morawa District, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia, using a community empowerment approach that included health education, PISBRO cookie production training, consumption of PISBRO cookies together with iron supplementation, adherence monitoring, family support, and pre- and post-program hemoglobin assessment. Twenty-two pregnant women were recruited, and 20 completed the program. Mean adherence to PISBRO cookie consumption was 82.34±13.51%, with 65% of participants categorized as adherent, while 50% received good family support. Mean hemoglobin increased from 9.64±0.42 g/dL to 9.87±0.53 g/dL, with an average increase of 0.24±0.21 g/dL. Ninety percent of participants experienced increased hemoglobin levels, and Wilcoxon signed-rank testing demonstrated a significant difference before and after the program (p<0.001). The integrated community empowerment program combining PISBRO cookies, health education, iron supplementation, adherence monitoring, and family involvement showed potential to support early improvement in maternal hemoglobin. Greater family engagement and sustained follow-up are recommended to enhance program effectiveness.
