The purpose of this study is to determine eating habits of school age children and to evaluate the effect of nutrition education via games on promoting healthy eating habits. Materials and Methods: The study, which is quasi-experimental with a pre-test/post-test experimental model without a control group, was conducted at a primary school. The population of the study includes 8-year-old 2 nd-grade students. The population consists of 59 primary school students who participated in all nutrition education and completed one pre-test and two post-tests. The data were analyzed via descriptive statistics, Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney-test, McNemar's test, Shapiro-Wilk tests. Results: According to the findings, 59.3% of the students didn't have any nutrition education and 84.7% of them considered their eating habits as good. It was also found that 50.8% of the students before the training, 30.5% of them right after the training and 40.7% of them 3 months after the training stated they skipped one of their meals and that lunch which was the most frequently skipped meal. Although there was no change in consumption of fresh fruit and fruit juice, there was an increase in the consumption of fresh vegetable and vegetable meals, but this was not transformed into behavior. The consumption of dairy products increased and transformed into behavior. The average nutrition knowledge of the students increased both right after the training and 3 months later. Conclusion: It is thought that the nutrition education given to the school age children had a positive effect on their nutrition knowledge, attitudes, behaviors.

Aim This study aimed to examine the studies on children with stoma/ostomy in the field of nursing in terms of nursing science. Method This was a qualitative research based on a document analysis of the studies, and it was designed as a systematic review. It was carried out in accordance with the Centre for Reviews and Dissemination guide. The databases of EBSCOhost, PubMed, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and Web of Science were searched between January 2010 and October 2020, and the studies on ostomy in pediatric patients were examined. The search was conducted by using the English keywords including “ostomy/stoma, children, nursing care.” Inclusion and exclusion criteria to select studies were determined based on the PICOS method (P = populations, I = interventions, C = comparison, O = outcomes, and S = study type). Data were extracted by two researchers independently. All studies were examined in full text, and it was decided which studies to include in the systematic review. Results In this study, 9,857 studies were found by entering the keywords in the first search. Among these, 87 studies were selected when their titles, abstracts, and keywords were examined. By the inclusion criteria, 20 studies from the EBSCOhost, PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar, and Science Direct databases were included in the study. Conclusion It was observed that the most common studies were the ones that were investigating the problems experienced by the children with an ostomy and their parents and its effects on them. It has been suggested that this systematic review will form a base for the experimental or randomized controlled studies that are needed in the field of ostomy and make a contribution to the literature.
