Development of a Food Safety and Nutrition Education Program for Adolescents by Applying Social Cognitive Theory

Abstract

ObjectivesThe purpose of this study was to develop an educational model regarding food safety and nutrition. In particular, we aimed to develop educational materials, such as middle- and high-school textbooks, a teacher’s guidebook, and school posters, by applying social cognitive theory.MethodsTo develop a food safety and nutrition education program, we took into account diverse factors influencing an individual’s behavior, such as personal, behavioral, and environmental factors, based on social cognitive theory. We also conducted a pilot study of the educational materials targeting middle-school students (n = 26), high-school students (n = 24), and dietitians (n = 13) regarding comprehension level, content, design, and quality by employing the 5-point Likert scale in May 2016.ResultsThe food safety and nutrition education program covered six themes: (1) caffeine; (2) food additives; (3) foodborne illness; (4) nutrition and meal planning; (5) obesity and eating disorders; and (6) nutrition labeling. Each class activity was created to improve self-efficacy by setting one’s own goal and to increase self-control by monitoring one’s dietary intake. We also considered environmental factors by creating school posters and leaflets to educate teachers and parents. The overall evaluation score for the textbook was 4.0 points among middle- and high-school students, and 4.5 points among dietitians.ConclusionThis study provides a useful program model that could serve as a guide to develop educational materials for nutrition-related subjects in the curriculum. This program model was created to increase awareness of nutrition problems and self-efficacy. This program also helped to improve nutrition management skills and to promote a healthy eating environment in middle- and high-school students.

Hal ini ditunjukan pula pada penelitian ini, yaitu pada analisis kuisoner pengukuran keterampilan yang menunjukkan bahwa keterampilan guru dalam memberi edukasi mengenai "dampak negatif bagi kesehatan apabila siswa jajan di sembarang tempat" naik setelah intervensi.…”

Safe Behaviour in The Petrochemical Industry: Evaluating The Consistency Between Conceptual Frameworks and Factors Reported by Iranian Workers

“…Many safe behaviour studies have been based upon various generic safety theories and models, such as the Health Belief Model (HBM) [26][27][28][29], the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) [30][31][32][33], the Risk Perception Attitude (RPA) Framework [34][35][36], and Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) [37][38][39]. There is also a growing recent literature supporting the positive effects of safety behaviour interventions on safety compliance and participation, injury rates, and near-misses in various high-risk industries, including the oil, gas and petrochemicals industry [40][41][42].…”
