Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the implementation of a blended training for school teachers on adolescent health and nutrition. The training objective was to improve teachers’ knowledge, as well as their capacity to develop and implement action plans on school-based health and nutrition programs. Adolescents continue to face nutrition problems closely linked with poor eating behaviours and lack of physical activity. School has been identified as an effective venue for improving these problems. Many teachers’ training programs were reported on increasing the teachers’ roles in school health and nutrition program, but studies utilizing a blended training is lacking. This study used pre-post intervention with mixed methods design. The participants of this blended training were secondary school teachers who enrolled in a five-phase Nutrition Goes to School (NGTS) training on school-based nutrition promotion program, comprising in-service learning and on-the-job training for ten months. The participants decreased throughout the training to 114 participants completed the whole training. Out of 114 participants, 25 (22%) passed this NGTS blended training. Participants’ knowledge on health and nutrition improved as shown in pre-test median score of 60 and post-test median score of 80 (p<0.001). The final assignment on developing action plans showed a relatively good quality of engagement based on the participants’ understanding on the NGTS program, their resources, and their ability to manage challenges. Blended training with long duration but accompanied with technical assistance can provide added value in understanding the process of the NGTS program implementation and school-based health and nutrition program in general. However, the high attrition rate should be improved by facilitating more varied and engaging activities as part of the technical assistance in the future training program.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is no longer limited to older adults and increasingly affects adolescents. Behavioral risk factors, such as high sodium intake, high fat consumption, and insufficient physical activity, contribute to an increased risk of hypertension. Limited knowledge and unfavorable attitudes toward hypertension prevention among adolescents may perpetuate unhealthy behaviors, highlighting the need for educational interventions as an early strategy to prevent non-communicable diseases.Objective: This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of education and counselling in improving adolescents’ knowledge, attitudes, and dietary patterns related to hypertension risk factors.Methods: An experimental study using a pretest–posttest control group design was conducted at SMAN 10, Semarang City, from June 19 to July 23, 2025. A total of 29 tenth-grade students with blood pressure >120/80 mmHg were randomly assigned to the intervention (n = 15) and control (n = 14) groups. The intervention consisted of nutrition education and counselling using a booklet entitled “Healthy Living to Prevent Hypertension.” The collected data included knowledge, attitudes, and frequency of sodium-rich food consumption. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests.Results: The mean increase in knowledge (6.6 points) and attitude (2.1 points) scores was higher in the intervention group (p=0.109; p=0.333), and the mean frequency score of sodium-rich food consumption decreased by 3 points (p=0.115) compared to that in the control group. However, these differences were not statistically significant. Based on effect size, the intervention showed a greater tendency to reduce the frequency of sodium-rich food consumption (12.9%) than to improve knowledge (10.5%) and attitudes (3.7%).Conclusion: Nutrition education and counselling have the potential to improve knowledge, attitudes, and sodium-related dietary patterns among adolescents, although the results were not statistically significant in this study. This intervention shows promise as a preventive strategy for hypertension in adolescents.
