Background: Maintaining a nutritious eating behavior for school children is one of the important health issues to be carried out during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The roles of parents, teachers, and health workers are necessary for school children. Objective: This study aimed to determine socio-demographic factors, knowledge, attitude, and food consumption behavior among vocational high school students during the COVID-19 Pandemic in the Municipality of Sleman, Indonesia. Methods: Cross-sectional design was employed among 84 students selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected in September 2021 using validated questionnaires. Chi-square test and multi logistic regression were used to examine associations between independent variables and food consumption behavior. Results: The majority of the respondents were females (94%), and the range of age of all the respondents was 15-18 years old. The multi logistic regression showed that the students who had low family income (Adj. OR = 4.38, 95% CI = 1.26-15.19), poor knowledge (Adj. OR = 8.39, 95% CI = 2.10-33.52), and had no roles of parent (Adj. OR= 5.45, 95% CI = 2.37-23.43) statistically significantly had poor food consumption behavior. Conclusion: The main variables that significantly influenced food consumption behavior in vocational high school students were level of knowledge, family income, and the role of parents. This study may serve as input for public health decision-makers to improve health promotion to the students in the school.
Background: Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional problem in adolescents worldwide, especially in developing countries, including Indonesia. Anemia caused by iron deficiency is very common in Indonesia among pregnant women, children under two years of age, school-age adolescents and low-wage workers and vulnerable groups. One reason is the lack of knowledge about the impact of anemia which can affect attitudes and behavior in dealing with anemia. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of knowledge, attitudes and behavior of adolescents towards iron deficiency anemia. Method: this study uses a quantitative approach that is descriptive in nature with cross-sectional. The sample in this study was taken using a random sampling method with a total of 30 young women. Data collection used a questionnaire in the form of a google form. Data management used Microsoft Excel. Results: more than half of the respondents had good knowledge, namely 63.33%, for a positive attitude, it was 53.33%, while for behavior, half of the respondents had unfavorable behavior of 53.33%. Conclusion: most teenagers still do not know the causes and effects of anemia, and the behavior of adolescents who are still lacking in preventing anemia can cause short-term effects such as decreased concentration in learning and learning achievement while the long-term impact can cause bleeding before and during giving birth, giving birth to stunting and LBW babies.
