Abstract

Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children’s dietary habits from early childhood through adulthood. Parental behaviors and family habits significantly influence children’s dietary habits, shaping their attitudes toward food and eating behaviors. Low parental health literacy and socio-economic status are associated with poorer child health behaviors, such as unhealthy nutrition and less exercise. Educating parents on balanced nutrition is crucial for promoting healthier eating habits. This study explores the impact of nutritional education on parental knowledge at Yayasan An-Nusyur Aeng Panas, aiming to improve childhood nutrition in resource-constrained setting by increasing their knowledge after receiving nutrition education on Community Services of Enhancing Coastal Health Through Ecological Approach (ECOHAP) program. This research used a quantitative pre-experimental design study (one group pre-test post-test). The intervention carried out in this research was a single time delivered nutritional education for 3 hours period regarding balanced nutrition for children given by nutritionist team from Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary data was a questionnaire filled by 27 parents of kindergarten students at Yayasan An—Nusyur Aeng Panas, Sumenep Madura in Febuary 2024. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26, descriptive analysis techniques, and Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Test. The result of this research showed that there were differences between pre-test and post-test scores. The pre-test score has an average (mean) of 84.444, and the post-test score has an average (mean) of 86.667. But, based on the Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs Test, it is known that the significance value for pre-test and post-test data is 0.439 (>0.05). There was an increase in participants’ knowledge after receiving nutrition education on Community Services of Enhancing Coastal Health Through Ecological Approach (ECOHAP) program that was held, but there was not a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores after parents received nutritional education.
