Abstract
Stunting among adolescents remains a significant public health concern, particularly in Indonesia, where recent data indicates a prevalence of approximately 25.7% among ages 13-15 and 26.9% among ages 16-18. This issue is compounded by the lack of adequate knowledge regarding proper nutrition and health practices during adolescence, which are critical for preventing stunting and ensuring optimal growth. The primary problem addressed in this study is the insufficient understanding of stunting prevention among adolescent females, which hinders effective health promotion efforts in this demographic. Therefore, this research aims to evaluate the impact of an Android-based educational application on improving adolescents’ knowledge regarding stunting prevention in Madrasah Aliyah Amanatul Ummah Surabaya. Utilizing a quasi-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design, the study involved 35 female students selected through purposive sampling from a total population of 80 adolescents. Data was collected via a structured questionnaire consisting of 20 questions pertaining to stunting prevention, both prior to and following the intervention. The intervention involved the use of an educational Android application designed with animated content, concise information, and engaging visual aids to enhance comprehension. Data analysis was performed using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test to assess changes in knowledge levels. The findings demonstrated a significant increase in adolescents’ understanding of stunting prevention post-intervention, with the proportion of students possessing good knowledge rising from 37.1% to 82.9%. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.001, indicating a strong effect of the Android-based education on knowledge enhancement. The results suggest that digital health education utilizing Android applications is an effective method to increase awareness among adolescents, thereby contributing to better health practices and stunting prevention efforts. These findings advocate for the integration of mobile-based health education strategies to address nutritional deficiencies and promote adolescent health comprehensively.
