Abstract

Background: According to Indonesian Health Survey in 2023, the prevalence of stunting among adolescents aged 13-15 years was 17.5%, with severe cases, overweight, and underweight reaching 6.6%, 16.2%, and 7.6%, respectively. To address this health condition, there is a need to effectively improve knowledge and attitudes by maintaining a balanced diet through the provision of nutrition education using the SEMAIZIBANG (Showing Balanced Nutrition) card game.   Objectives: This research aimed to determine the difference in nutrition education using the SEMAIZIBANG card game media with lectures on improving knowledge, attitudes, and balanced nutrition diets for junior high school students. Methods: The quasi-experimental research was conducted using a pretest and posttest design, with a total of 48 participants selected for each group through the Slovin formula. Data collection was performed using validated knowledge and attitude questionnaires, alongside Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) form. The intervention group was given nutrition education through the SEMAIZIBANG card game, while the control received a lecture method, with both groups subjected to 8 treatments. The data obtained were tested through paired and independent sample t-tests. Results: The results showed that there was a significant increase in knowledge and attitudes in education with SEMAIZIBANG media (p-value 0.077), but not in dietary patterns. The difference test between the two groups showed significant variation in knowledge and attitudes but not in dietary patterns (p-value 0.379). Conclusions: This research shows that nutrition education through the SEMAIZIBANG card game or lectures significantly improves students knowledge and attitudes. However, the dietary patterns are not affected due to the short intervention duration and limited assessment.

Abstract

Background: Food security is a fundamental challenge to improving the health of children and adolescents. West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) Province, Indonesia, and East Lombok Regency face child nutrition issues, with one in three under-fives suffering from stunting linked to food security. Objectives: This study will analyse food security, dietary patterns, and the role of mothers with under-fives in stunting-prone and non-stunting-prone areas. Methods: A cross-sectional study involving 228 families with children under five years of age. Data collected included maternal characteristics (age, education, occupation, income and nutritional status) and child characteristics (age, sex, nutritional status and health status, maternal knowledge level, dietary patterns, household food security and data on the mother’s role in infant care). Maternal nutritional status was determined using BMI-for-age, whilst infant nutritional status was determined using weight-for-age, height-for-age and weight-for-height indices. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test and t-test.  Results: A total of 59.7% of mothers were overweight and 64.0% of children were underweight. Families with varying levels of vulnerability (mild, moderate and severe) accounted for 75.0%, whilst only 25.0% were food secure; 71.1% of families had inadequate dietary patterns, and 54.4% of mothers practised good childcare practices. There was a significant difference between mothers’ knowledge, parenting practices and household food security (p-value<0.001). Conclusions: A mother’s role in her child’s upbringing determines the child’s nutritional status. This upbringing encompasses appropriate feeding, health monitoring and emotional support. Strengthening the mother’s role in her child’s health could serve as a strategy to reduce stunting rates.
