Abstract
Background: Adequate nutrition is one of the critical factors in the development process of pre-school age children. Regular consumption of fruit and vegetables can optimize nutrient intake so that growth and development run optimally. Unfortunately, consumption of fruits and vegetables in pre-school children is still low. This is due to a lack of knowledge about the types, benefits, and importance of fruits and vegetables.
Objective: This study aims to prove the application of the storytelling method in optimizing the knowledge and consumption of fruits and vegetables in pre-school children in the city of Semarang.
Methods: The design of this study used Experimental Quasy with pretest-posttest control group design. This research was conducted from September to November 2017 with a total sample of 120 respondents.
Conclusion: The results showed that the application of storytelling affected increasing the knowledge and practice of eating fruits and vegetables at the age of pre-school children in Semarang (p-value<0.05). Based on this, the application of storytelling can be used as an alternative method in conducting health education so that pre-school age children can consume fruits and vegetables.
Keywords: Children's booklet, storytelling, fruit, and vegetable consumption.
