Malnutrisi pada remaja masih menjadi masalah yang dipengaruhi oleh berbagai faktor, termasuk pengetahuan dan sikap gizi. Rendahnya pengetahuan dan sikap gizi pada remaja menunjukkan pentingnya media edukasi yang sesuai dengan karakteristik mereka. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan board game “4 Pilar Menuju Gizi Seimbang” serta menganalisis perbedaan perubahan skor pengetahuan dan sikap gizi antara edukasi menggunakan board game sebagai kelompok perlakuan dan leaflet sebagai kelompok pembanding. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain quasi-experimental pada siswa kelas 7 SMPN 2 Cibinong (n=68) yang dilaksanakan pada April–Mei 2026 di SMPN 2 Cibinong. Analisis dilakukan hingga analisis multivariat menggunakan uji regresi linier berganda. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan perubahan skor pengetahuan gizi antara edukasi menggunakan board game dan leaflet, dengan perubahan skor siswa yang diedukasi dengan board game 10,74 poin lebih tinggi dibandingkan leaflet (p=0,001). Namun, tidak terdapat perbedaan perubahan skor sikap gizi secara signifikan antara kelompok board game dan kelompok leaflet (p=0,151). Board game dan leaflet berhubungan dengan peningkatan skor pengetahuan gizi, tetapi belum cukup optimal untuk meningkatkan sikap gizi remaja. Board game “4 Pilar Menuju Gizi Seimbang” berpotensi menjadi alternatif media edukasi gizi di sekolah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan gizi pada remaja.

Adolescent malnutrition remains a public health problem influenced by various factors, including nutrition knowledge and attitudes. The low levels of nutrition knowledge and attitudes among adolescents highlight the impoortance of educational media that are suitable to their characteristics. This study aimed to develop the 4 Pilar Menuju Gizi Seimbang board game and to analyze differences in changes in nutrition knowledge and attitude scores between nutrition education through board game and leaflet. A quasi-experimental study involved 68 seventh-grade students from SMPN 2 Cibinong and was conducted from April to May 2026. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed a significant difference in changes in nutrition knowledge scores between the board game and leaflet group, with the board game group achieved average increase of 10.74 points higher than leaflet group (p=0,001). However, no significant difference was found in nutrition attitude scores between two groups (p=0,151). Both the board game and leaflet were associated with improved nutrition knowledge but were not sufficiently effective in improving adolescents’ nutrition attitudes. The “4 Pilar Menuju Gizi Seimbang” board game has the potential to serve as an alternative school-based nutrition education medium to improve adolescents’ nutrition knowledge.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perbedaan proporsi food neophobia berdasarkan determinan karakteristik individu, psikologis, dan lingkungan pada mahasiswa Program Sarjana Fakultas Ilmu Sosial dan Ilmu Politik Universitas Indonesia tahun 2026. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross-sectional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 119 mahasiswa yang dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Pengumpulan data dilakukan secara daring menggunakan kuesioner yang terdiri atas Food Neophobia Scale (FNS), Perceived Academic Stress Scale (PASS), kuesioner pengetahuan gizi, serta kuesioner karakteristik responden. Analisis data dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariat menggunakan uji Chi-Square dengan tingkat kepercayaan 95% serta perhitungan Odds Ratio (OR). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 53,8% responden termasuk dalam kategori food neophobia. Terdapat perbedaan proporsi food neophobia yang bermakna berdasarkan tingkat pengetahuan gizi (p=0,005; OR=2,942; 95% CI: 1,373–6,304), tingkat stres akademik (p<0,001; OR=4,653; 95% CI: 2,138–10,127), dan riwayat paparan makanan (p=0,009; OR=2,698; 95% CI: 1,269–5,737). Sementara itu, tidak terdapat perbedaan proporsi food neophobia yang bermakna berdasarkan tingkat semester, suku bangsa, alergi makanan, status tempat tinggal, pantangan makanan, pendidikan orang tua, maupun uang saku (p>0,05). Disimpulkan bahwa tingkat pengetahuan gizi, tingkat stres akademik, dan riwayat paparan makanan merupakan faktor yang berhubungan dengan perbedaan proporsi food neophobia pada mahasiswa, sedangkan karakteristik demografi dan sosial ekonomi yang diteliti tidak menunjukkan perbedaan proporsi yang bermakna.

This study aimed to analyze the differences in the proportion of food neophobia based on individual, psychological, and environmental determinants among undergraduate students of the Faculty of Social and Political Sciences, Universitas Indonesia, in 2026. A cross-sectional study design was employed involving 119 students selected using a consecutive sampling technique. Data were collected through an online questionnaire consisting of the Food Neophobia Scale (FNS), the Perceived Academic Stress Scale (PASS), a nutrition knowledge questionnaire, and a respondent characteristics questionnaire. Data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test at a 95% confidence level, followed by the calculation of Odds Ratios (ORs). The results showed that 53.8% of the respondents were classified as having food neophobia. Significant differences in the proportion of food neophobia were found according to nutrition knowledge (p = 0.005; OR = 2.942; 95% CI: 1.373–6.304), academic stress level (p < 0.001; OR = 4.653; 95% CI: 2.138–10.127), and childhood food exposure history (p = 0.009; OR = 2.698; 95% CI: 1.269–5.737). In contrast, no significant differences were observed according to academic semester, ethnicity, food allergy history, living arrangement, household food restrictions, parental education, or monthly allowance (p > 0.05). In conclusion, nutrition knowledge, academic stress level, and childhood food exposure history were associated with differences in the proportion of food neophobia among undergraduate students, whereas the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics examined were not significantly associated with food neophobia.
