Abstract

Based on the Basic Health Survey (2018) data, 96.8% of teenagers between the ages of 10 and 14 eat less than five servings of fruit and vegetables per day on average. This study aims to ascertain how nutrition counseling utilizing leaflets affects teenagers’ knowledge and attitudes about eating fruits and vegetables at the Madrasah Tsanawiah Bahrul Mubarak Toronipa in Konawe Regency. One group of pre-and post-tests is part of this quasi-experimental study design. The sample for this study consisted of 40 students selected through purposive sampling from the population of active students enrolled in classes VII and VIII at Madrasah Tsanawiyah Bahrul Mubarak Soropia, Konawe Regency. Questionnaires were used for interview data collection, and the Paired T-test statistic was used for data analysis to ascertain the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. The results show that after receiving nutrition education, adolescents knew 92.5% more about the advantages of eating vegetables than before (55%). Teenagers knew 67.5% less about eating fruit than they did after receiving nutrition instruction, whereas their understanding increased to 97.5%. Before nutrition education, adolescents’ views toward eating vegetables were 90.0%, and after, they were 97.5%. Before receiving nutrition instruction, adolescents’ views toward eating fruit were 67.5%, but afterward, they were 90.0%. The findings indicate a relationship between counseling and teenage knowledge about eating fruit (p = 0.001) and vegetables (p = 0.000). Additionally, there is a relationship between counseling and teenage attitudes about eating fruit (p = 0.005), but there is no relationship between the two.
