Abstract

Positive cases of Covid-19 tended to increase in July 2020. One way to prevent the viral infection was by consuming foods that contain balanced nutrients to increase the immune system. Therefore, it was important to provide public nutrition education regarding the role of food in boosting the immune system. The aim of this community service was to increase public knowledge regarding the role of food in improving the immune system through webinars. This community service was carried out in webinars targeting the general public, students, and nutritionists with the total of participants was 188 participants. The webinar was conducted using the Zoom Meeting application with a capacity of 300 participants. During the webinar, participants were required to fill in the attendance list and pre- and post-test related to the role of food in boosting the immune system. The number of pre- and post-test questions was 10 questions each. The differences of pre- and post-test scores were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test. The results of the webinar showed that the average pre and post-test score was 57.90 ± 16.91 and 77.37 ± 18.72, respectively. The increasing of webinar participants knowledge as much as 33.63%.
