The data were analyzed using a questionnaire analysis test and an analysis of the student's ability to monitor nutritional status. To test the truth of the hypothesis, a computerized rank spearmen correlation test was used with the help of SPSS software version 25. The results showed that 94% of students thought that the laboratory management activities of the Faculty of Public Health, Teuku Umar University were very good. Almost all nutrition students have very high scores (92%) while the rest have high scores (1%), moderate scores (5%), and low scores (2%). Based on the spearmen rank test, a significance value of (0.000) < alpha (0.05) was obtained with a correlation coefficient of 0.442.
