ABSTRAK

Latar Belakang

Pedoman Gizi Seimbang (PGS) adalah pedoman pola makan di Indonesia yang sudah dicanangkan sejak lama namum masih banyak masyarakat yang belum mengetahuinya. Anak usia sekolah masih banyak yang gemar mengkonsumsi makanan jajanan yang tidak sehat dan tidak sesuai dengan PGS. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk mensosialisasikan PGS dan memberikan pelatihan pembuatan makanan sehat kepada anak usia sekolah.

Metode

Kegiatan dilakukan di wilayah kelurahan Jomblang, kota Semarang pada tahun 2022 dengan sampel sebanyak 50 anak usia sekolah. Intervensi yang diberikan yaitu sosialisasi PGS melalui metode ceramah dan diskusi serta pelatihan pembuatan makanan melalui praktek secara langsung. Pengetahuan gizi, Indek Massa Tubuh/Umur (IMT/U), dan asupan energi diukur sebelum dan setelah intervensi. Pengetahuan Gizi diukur dengan kuesioner, status gizi diukur berdasarkan IMT/U, dan asupan energi diukur dengan recall 24 jam. Analisis data menggunakan dependent t test untuk mengetahui perbedaan rerata sebelum dan setelah intervensi.

Hasil

sebagian besar subjek berusia kurang dari 12 th (92%), berjenis kelamin perempuan (56%), dan pendidikan Sekolah Dasar (90%). Pengetahuan gizi subjek sebelum intervensi sebagian besar tergolong kurang, hanya 2 orang yang tergolong cukup. Status gizi tergolong kurang sebesar 16%, normal (64%), dan lebih (20%). Terdapat peningkatan pengetahuan gizi  yang signifikan sebelum dan setelah intervensi, namun tidak terdapat peningkatan IMT/U dan asupan energi yang signifikan sebelum dan setelah intervensi.

Simpulan

Sosialisasi PGS dan pelatihan pembuatan makanan sehat mampu meningkatkan pengetahuan gizi, namun belum dapat meningkatkan status gizi dan asupan energi secara signifikan.
