Differences invariable score changes were analyzed using an independentt-test with a significance level of ?=0.05. The results showedthat the mean increase in nutritional knowledge was 25.40± 6.21 points in the intervention group, compared to 6.80 ±5.72 points in the control group. The independent t-testrevealed a significant difference in the change in knowledgebetween the two groups (p<0.001). The mean weight gainwas 1.45 ± 0.48 kg in the intervention group and 0.72 ± 0.51kg in the control group.
