The sample was 96 female adolescents with 44 from State Junior High School 1 Purwokerto representative of the urban area and 52 female adolescents from State Junior High School 1 Patikraja as representative from rural area. Exposure data and health information sources were collected using a questionnaire, peer influences measurement using Peer Influence Scale (PIS) questionnaire, and nutrition status measurement using Body Mass Index per age. The Statistics Test used in this study was Chi-square and Fisher Exact with 5% accuracy. RESULTS: No significant association was found between health information exposure and peer influences with nutrition status in female adolescents (p = 0.29; 0.77 > 0.05) and there was also no significant difference in acceptance source and health nutrition information topic of female adolescents in urban and rural areas. However, there was a significant difference between peer influences in female adolescents in urban and rural areas (p = 0.00 < 0.05). CONCLUSION: In both groups of female adolescents from urban and rural, there was comparable acceptance in their sources of information regarding health and nutrition. There was a significant difference in the effect of peer influences between female adolescents in urban and rural areas. However, peer influences does not have any effect on their nutrition status.

ABSTRAKMunculnya berbagai penyakit yang sering menyerang anak usia sekolah, umumnya berkaitan dengan pemahaman anak tentang apa itu hidup bersih dan sehat, serta penerapan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehatan (PHBS) dan pemahaman anak tentang apa itu hidup bersih dan sehat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk melihat hubungan antara pengetahuan dan PHBS anak sekolah dasar terhadap kejadian sakit yang di alami di  masa pandemi Covid-19 ini. Pendekatan kuantitatif dengan rancangan studi potong lintang dilakukan dengan melibatkan 58 anak sekolah dasar yang berada di wilayah perkotaan dan pedesaan Kabupaten Banyumas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan, sebagian besar siswa memiliki pengetahuan tentang gizi dan kesehatan yang masih rendah (62,1%), meski demikian, siswa yang menerapkan PHBS dengan baik sudah lebih banyak (63,8%). Uji chi-square antara pengetahuan siswa dengan kejadian sakit diperoleh nilai p=0.051, dan antara penerapan PHBS siswa dengan kejadian sakit nilai p = 0.478.

Purpose This study aims to explore potential enablers for school-based nutrition education (SBNE) through adolescent students’ perceptions in Jakarta, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach The study conducted 15 focus group discussions (FGDs) with 6–8 students per group to gather the main data, supported by six in-depth interviews with junior high school officials and content analysis of selected schoolbooks among five schools. The FGDs were conducted to explore students’ interest in nutrition information and their exposure to nutrition education and learning experiences. To analyze the FGD responses, three steps were used: coding, categorizing and determining themes. Findings Students’ interest in nutrition and potential learning venues for interactive nutrition education were potential enablers for SBNE. The students’ interest in nutrition information comprised eight topics, with some different patterns by gender. Nutrition information not represented in the school books included: food fads, women’s nutrition, halal-certified food establishments and cooking. To complement the nutrition information that was not provided in school books, student club activities and school special programs were suitable settings as potential learning venues for SBNE. Originality/value This study is the first study exploring SBNE facilitators from students’ perspectives among adolescents in Jakarta.
