Abstract

Ultra-Processed Foods (UPFs) are industrially manufactured products high in sugar, salt, and fat, with minimal whole-food content. The increasing consumption poses significant health risks, particularly for children. This community service program aimed to improve parents’ knowledge and awareness regarding the importance of limiting UPF intake and promoting balanced nutrition consumption. The program was conducted at RA Fatanah, Padang City, from June to July 2025 and involved 22 parents selected through total sampling. Nutrition education was delivered via a lecture method supported by PowerPoint materials, leaflets, and booklets. Participants completed pre- and post-tests to assess changes in knowledge. The proportion of individuals with low knowledge decreased from 18.2% to 0%, while those with high knowledge increased by 22.8%. On average, participants’ scores rose by 18 points after the intervention. Overall, this program demonstrated that structured nutrition education effectively enhances parental knowledge. Strengthening educational initiatives may contribute to reducing UPF consumption and supporting improved dietary behaviors within families.

Abstract

Background: Unhealthy dietary patterns are one of the main contributors to the high prevalence of nutritional problems in Indonesia. This issue may stem from low nutrition literacy, including limited understanding of food labeling. Therefore, a nutrition education intervention is needed. It is not only to improve comprehension of food labels but also to promote healthier dietary behaviors. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of nutrition education using animated videos in improving food label comprehension among housewives in Padang City. Methods: A quasi-experimental design was employed to 90 housewives residing in Padang City. Respondents were then divided into control and intervention groups. The intervention group received nutrition education using animated videos on food labeling, which were delivered four times over four consecutive weeks. A paired t-test was conducted to assess pre- and post-intervention differences within each group. Results: The findings indicated an increase of 15.5 points in knowledge and 11.0 points in attitude scores within the intervention group. The T-test results showed a significant difference (p-value<0.001 and p-value<0.001) in both knowledge and attitude in the intervention group, while no significant differences were observed in the control group (p-value=0.160 and p-value =0.160). The N-gain scores were 81.15% for knowledge and 50.23% for attitude, suggesting that the video media was effective in improving knowledge, but less effective in enhancing respondents' attitudes toward food labeling. Conclusions: Nutrition education using animated video media proved to be effective in increasing knowledge and understanding, but was not yet effective in improving food labeling attitudes among housewives in Padang City.
