Abstract

Obesity is a condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in the body that can lead to several individual health risks. Obesity is caused by several factors, including genetic factors, body metabolism, diet, physical activity, socioeconomic status, traditions and culture, as well as environmental factors such as parents, peers, and the surrounding environment. One way to increase students' knowledge is through health education using fanleaflets that are easy to understand and engaging. This study aims to see how much education about healthy eating using fanleaflets affects students' knowledge in efforts to prevent obesity among students at SDN 2 Manyaran. This study used a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study sample consisted of 35 students in grades 3, 4, and 5, selected using a random sampling technique. Data collection was done using a knowledge questionnaire before and after providing education, then analyzed using a Paired Sample t-test. The study results showed that the knowledge scores before the intervention were mostly in the poor category for almost all students and increased after the intervention. The Paired Sample t-test results showed a p-value < 0.001, indicating a difference in knowledge scores before and after education using fan leaflets. Thus, education based on fan leaflets is effective in improving knowledge about obesity prevention among elementary school children. Fan leaflet media can be used as one of the alternative health promotion media in schools to increase knowledge about obesity prevention.

Abstract

Menstrual hygiene is a crucial aspect of reproductive health for adolescent girls. A lack of knowledge and inappropriate attitudes regarding menstrual hygiene can increase the risk of reproductive tract infections. Therefore, engaging and easily understandable educational media, such as flipcharts, are needed. This study aimed to determine the effect of flipchart-based education on improving menstrual hygiene knowledge among adolescent girls at MTs Nurul Islam. The study employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The sample consisted of 43 respondents selected via simple random sampling. Data were collected using knowledge and attitude questionnaires and analyzed using the Paired Sample T-test. The results showed that the mean knowledge score increased from 7.30 to 12.12, a difference of 4.81. The Paired Sample T-test yielded a Sig. (2-tailed) value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant difference in knowledge levels before and after the flipchart-based education. The study concludes that flipchart-based education is effective in improving adolescent girls' knowledge regarding menstrual hygiene.
