Abstract

Excessive consumption of sugar, salt, and fat among adolescents remains a public health particularly related to low nutritional literacy and limited understanding among students regarding safe limits for sugar, salt, and fat (SSF) consumption. The Youth Red Cross (PMR) as part of the school community has strategic potential as a partner and promoter of peer health, but still needs capacity building in nutrition education. To address this issue, school-based nutrition education activities are implemented as a community engagement program with the aim of increasing students' knowledge, awareness, and involvement in promoting healthier consumption of SSF. The activity involved 150 Youth Red Cross (PMR) students from five senior and vocational high schools in Banyuwangi Regency. Teachers and PMR members were actively engaged as community partners in planning, facilitating, and supporting the implementation of the program. Educational activities were delivered through interactive discussions, the use of familiar food examples, reflective group sessions, and basic health screening to connect nutrition messages with students’ real-life conditions. Program outcomes were documented as part of routine activity evaluation using a 10-item questionnaire administered before and after the sessions. An increase in average scores was observed, indicating improved short-term understanding; however, the primary contribution of the program lies in enhanced student engagement, peer interaction, and awareness of healthier dietary choices. The activity also encouraged reflection and dialogue within the school environment, suggesting positive social impact beyond individual knowledge gains. Overall, this community-based initiative demonstrates a feasible and empowering model for integrating nutrition education into routine school health activities.

Abstract

Abstrak Anak usia sekolah dasar dengan rentang usia 7-12 tahun merupakan kelompok yang rentan terhadap konsumsi makanan tinggi gula, garam, dan lemak (GGL). Kurangnya literasi gizi menyebabkan siswa cenderung memilih makanan berdasarkan rasa dan pengaruh teman sebaya tanpa mempertimbangkan nilai gizinya. Kegiatan pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan literasi gizi dan pemahaman siswa dalam memilih jajanan sehat. Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SDN 1 Telemung, Desa Telemung, Kecamatan Kalipuro, Kabupaten Banyuwangi pada bulan Januari 2026 dengan melibatkan 54 siswa kelas V dan VI sebagai peserta. Metode pelaksanaan menggunakan pendekatan edukasi partisipatif melalui penyampaian materi, diskusi interaktif, demonstrasi membaca label pangan, serta evaluasi menggunakan instrumen pre-test dan post-test. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan adanya peningkatan pengetahuan siswa setelah diberikan edukasi. Pada siswa kelas V rerata skor pengetahuan meningkat dari 54,00 menjadi 86,00, sedangkan pada siswa kelas VI meningkat dari 55,00 menjadi 79,00. Hasil uji normalitas menunjukkan bahwa seluruh data berdistribusi normal (nilai signifikansi Shapiro-Wilk > 0,05), sehingga analisis dapat dilanjutkan dengan uji parametrik. Hasil ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi literasi gizi mengenai pemilihan jajanan sehat efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa sekolah dasar. Program edukasi ini diharapkan dapat mendorong terbentuknya perilaku konsumsi yang lebih sehat pada anak sejak usia dini. Kata kunci: edukasi; kesehatan gizi; literasi gizi; makanan sehat; pola gaya hidup. Abstract Elementary school children aged 7–12 years are a group vulnerable to the consumption of foods high in sugar, salt, and fat (SSF). Limited nutrition literacy leads students to select foods based on taste preferences and peer influence without considering their nutritional value. This community service activity aimed to improve students’ nutrition literacy and their understanding of healthy snack choices. The program was conducted at SDN 1 Telemung, Telemung Village, Kalipuro District, Banyuwangi Regency, in January 2026, involving 54 fifth- and sixth-grade students as participants. The implementation method applied a participatory educational approach through material delivery, interactive discussions, food label reading demonstrations, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test instruments. The results showed an increase in students’ knowledge after the intervention. In grade V students, the mean knowledge score increased from 54.00 to 86.00, while in grade VI students it increased from 55.00 to 79.00. The normality test results indicated that all data were normally distributed (Shapiro–Wilk significance value > 0.05), allowing further analysis using parametric tests. These findings demonstrate that nutrition literacy education on healthy snack selection is effective in improving elementary school students’ knowledge. This educational program is expected to promote healthier dietary behaviors among children from an early age. Keywords: education; nutrition health; nutrition literacy; healthy food; lifestyle.

Abstract

Background: Anemia remains a serious problem among adolescent girls in Indonesia, with the prevalence rate of 32%. Low adherence to iron tablet consumption, especially in Islamic boarding schools, contributes to this problem, as evidenced by 11 cases identified at the target school. Adolescent girls have a significantly high risk of anemia due to low access to health information, lack of nutrition education, and limited support from health workers. Hence, involving peers as health cadres is an effective way to increase iron tablet intake and health-promoting behavior among the students. Objectives: To improve compliance with iron tablet consumption among female students by strengthening the role of cadres, creating a supportive school environment, and contributing to anemia free boarding schools in Banyuwangi Regency. Methods: The activities were conducted through socialization and training under the CEMPAKA (Cermat Pantau Kondisi Anemia) program. The final participants were 50 female students and 15 health cadres. Pre- and post-test questionnaires were used to determine the level of knowledge. Mean differences were calculated using a two-sample t-test with equal variances assumed to test for pre- and post-differences. Results: There was a statistically significant increase in student’s knowledge about anemia and iron tablet consumption (p=0.009, p<0.05). Similarly, cadre’s knowledge improved significantly (p=0.003, p<0.05). However, improvements in communication skills were not statistically significant (p=0.162, p>0.05), though a positive trend was observed, indicating better communication performance after training. Conclusion: The empowerment of cadres through the CEMPAKA program demonstrated improvements in knowledge about anemia, the importance of consuming iron supplements, and communication skills. A participative intervention such as this will further establish peer cadres as agents of healthy behavioral change in Islamic boarding schools and represents an initial step toward achieving a healthy, anemia-free Islamic boarding school in Banyuwangi Regency.
