Background: Hypertension is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in Indonesia. Public knowledge regarding hypertension management in coastal areas remains limited, as coastal communities generally consume high-salt diets due to the frequent intake of salted fish and processed seafood products. Objectives: This study aimed to examine the effect of DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet education as an integrated nutritional approach to hypertension control in coastal areas. Methods: This study employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design using a pretest–posttest without a control group. The research was conducted in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. The study population consisted of individuals with mild to moderate hypertension residing in the coastal area of Atowatu Village, Soropia District. A total of 70 participants were selected through purposive sampling based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: Prior to the intervention, 48 respondents (68.6%) had poor knowledge, while 22 respondents (31.4%) had moderate knowledge. After the educational intervention, 1 respondent (1.4%) had poor knowledge, 62 respondents (88.6%) had moderate knowledge, and 7 respondents (10%) demonstrated good knowledge. Regarding hypertension categories, before DASH diet education, 38 respondents (54.3%) were classified as having severe hypertension. Following the intervention, the majority of respondents were classified as having mild hypertension (48 respondents; 68.8%). Conclusion: There was a statistically significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the DASH diet education (p = 0.000), indicating that DASH diet education as an integrated nutritional approach significantly influenced hypertension control in the coastal area of Atowatu.

Background: Despite various government programs aimed at improving nutrition, malnutrition remains a major problem in the Waara Community Health Centers area. Earlier studies have primarily examined causes such as poor nutrition, childcare practices, and infections, but have rarely investigated the impact of counseling interventions on toddlers’ weight. A 2023 preliminary survey by researchers at Waara Health Centers found 65 children under five suffering from malnutrition. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of nutritional counseling on weight changes in toddlers from Mantobua Village, Lohia District, Muna Regency. Method: Using a pre-experimental one-group pretest-posttest design, mothers of malnourished toddlers received nutrition counseling over five sessions in one month. Sessions covered toddler nutritional needs, balanced menus, meal preparation, harmful foods to avoid, and common nutritional problems. Toddler weights were measured before and after the intervention using a hanging scale by the researchers. A total of 65 mothers participated. Data analysis was done with the paired sample t-test. Result: The counseling led to a significant increase in toddlers’ weight, supported by a p-value of 0.000, indicating a strong statistical difference (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Nutritional counseling significantly affects weight gain in children under five. Future studies should consider long-term monitoring to evaluate lasting effects on nutritional status.

Background: The nutritional status of elementary school-aged children is a crucial factor in determining the quality of future human resources. However, limited nutritional knowledge among children remains a challenge, particularly in coastal areas with restricted access to information. Purpose: This study aims to assess the effectiveness of leaflet-based educational media in improving students' knowledge about balanced nutrition at Elementary School 2 Toronipa, Konawe Regency, Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia. Methods: This research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 45 students from grades III, IV, and V, selected through total sampling. The research instrument was a multiple-choice questionnaire developed based on the Balanced Nutrition Guidelines from the Indonesian Ministry of Health. The study procedure included a pretest, an educational intervention using leaflets, and a posttest. Results: The results showed that before the intervention, the majority of students had moderate (51.1%) and low (31.1%) levels of knowledge. Following the intervention, there was a significant increase in the high knowledge category to 73.4%, while the low category decreased to 2.2%. The average knowledge score improved from 11.3 to 16.6. The paired sample t-test indicated a statistically significant difference (p = 0.000; p < 0.05), confirming the effectiveness of the leaflet in enhancing students’ nutritional knowledge. Conclusion: Leaflets are an efficient, easy-to-understand, and engaging educational medium for elementary school children. These findings have positive implications for school-based nutrition education programs, especially in regions with limited access to information.
