THE INFLUENCE OF INTERACTIVE BOOK AS A NUTRITION EDUCATIONAL MEDIA ON KNOWLEDGE, ATTITUDE AND FLUID INTAKE IN ADOLESCENT FEMALE AT AT-TAHIYYAH ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOL

Abstract

One of the nutritional problems in adolescents who live in islamic boarding schools is the lack of water consumption which causes adolescents to be prone to dehydration. This caused by many demands and draining activities that cause them to forget to drink. Teenage girls are more susceptible to dehydration due to hormonal influences. The lack of fluid consumption in teenage girls at islamic boarding schools is due to a lack of knowledge about fluids. Lack of socialization and nutrition education in islamic boarding schools can have an impact on a lack of knowledge and wrong eating and drinking behavior. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences in knowledge, attitudes and fluid intake in teenage girls before and after giving the interactive book as a media for nutrition education. This quantitative study with a one group pretest posttest design was conducted at At-Tahiyyah Islamic Boarding School. The research population was 54 teenage girls and all of them were used as samples (total sampling). The results showed that there are differences in knowledge, attitudes and fluid intake in teenage girls at the At-tahiyyah Islamic Boarding School before and after giving the interactive book as a media for nutrition education with a p value = 0.000. It can concluded that interactive book is a media that can be used as a learning media in adolescents because it can increase the value of knowledge, attitudes, and fluid intake in adolescents.
