Abstract

Adolescent obesity is a major public health concern because it often persists into adulthood and increases the risk of chronic non-communicable diseases. Therefore, effective school-based nutrition education is essential to improve adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward obesity prevention. To evaluate the effect of nutrition counseling using disc media on improving knowledge and attitudes toward obesity among students at Junior High School 3 Banda Aceh. This quantitative study employed a quasi-experimental design with a pretest–posttest control group approach. A total of 64 students were selected using purposive sampling and equally assigned to an intervention group (n = 32) and a control group (n = 32). The intervention group received nutrition counseling using disc media, whereas the control group received conventional lecture-based counseling without instructional media. Data were analyzed using paired and independent t-tests with a significance level of 95% (α = 0.05) using SPSS version 25. The intervention group demonstrated a significantly greater improvement in knowledge and attitudes than the control group. Knowledge scores increased by 4.75 points (38.96%) and attitude scores by 5.59 points (9.99%) in the intervention group (both p < 0.001). In contrast, the control group showed smaller improvements in knowledge (1.53 points; 12.95%; p < 0.001) and attitudes (2.50 points; 4.79%; p = 0.001). Nutrition counseling using disc media was more effective than conventional counseling in improving adolescents' knowledge and attitudes toward obesity prevention. These findings support the use of visually interactive educational media as an effective strategy for school-based obesity prevention programs.

Abstract

Poor oral and dental health can impair food intake by causing pain and difficulty chewing, leading to inadequate nutrient consumption and increasing the risk of malnutrition in children. Inadequate nutrition knowledge is one of the factors contributing to poor dietary habits among school-aged children. Nutrition education using engaging learning media may improve children's understanding of healthy food choices. This study aimed to develop and evaluate a coloring book on animal protein sources as a nutrition education medium for elementary school children. This study employed a Research and Development (R&D) approach using the ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation) model. The coloring book was validated by experts in content, media, and language and tested among 30 elementary school students. Data were collected using validation and knowledge questionnaires and analyzed using a paired-samples t-test. The validation results demonstrated that the coloring book was highly feasible, with average scores of 92.77% from content experts, 90.76% from media experts, and 90.00% from language experts. Students also rated the coloring book as easy to understand. The mean knowledge score increased significantly from 11.17 before the intervention to 15.90 after the intervention (p < 0.001). These findings indicate that the coloring book is a valid and feasible educational medium that effectively improves elementary school children's knowledge of animal protein sources and has the potential to support nutrition education programs in primary schools.
