Abstract

Children's growth and development are greatly influenced by what food they consume because children who do not receive adequate nutritional food for a long period of time can have growth and developmental disorders. One of the factors causing nutritional problems is less knowledge about nutritious food, so education regarding nutrition and health for children is highly needed. It is expected that nutrition education media can facilitate the delivery of information to children. The aim of this literature review is to present an overview of the use of media for nutrition education in children. The design of this study used a scoping review. The Database publication used Pubmed, Proquest, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar from 2013 to 2023. The article search strategy used keywords “Children” OR “Child” AND “Nutrition education” OR “Intervention.” The inclusion criteria for this study include the children population, the educational or nutrition education variable, and the type of publication including randomized control trial, longitudinal, single-blinded, pre-experimental quantitative, user-centered, single group intervention, two groups, nonequivalent experimental control group, quasi-experiment, and qualitative. There were 33 articles that met the inclusion criteria. Most of them were studies with a randomized control trial design. The result of the literature review found that nutrition education using lecture or teaching methods, demonstrations, use of print media, game methods, and physical activity methods can significantly increase knowledge about balanced nutrition in children. There was a significant increase in knowledge after children were given intervention in the form of nutrition education. The use of media in nutrition education can make it easier to convey information to children. Educational media, as a tool in delivering nutrition education to children, has been proven to increase children's nutritional knowledge
