【 摘 要 】

Wasting is a nutritional problem suffered by many school children. The purpose of this study was to determine the factors that cause wasting in school children and effective nutrition education to improve it. This study is a Research and Development. Population of this research is all of children in 4 elementary schools at Sumbang district, amounts 743. The sample was taken by purposive with inclusion criteria are children who they are in the fourth graders study, amounts 101. Data Analysis by univariate and bivariate analysis by rank speraman and wilcoxon analysis. Lack of knowledge (p value=0.037) and low consumption of carbohydrates, protein, fat (p value=0,000;0.001;0.001) as factors that causes wasting. Wilcoxon analysis results showed that there were differences in sample knowledge given audiovisual media and picture book (p value=0,000). Audiovisual media was most effective for improving students' nutritional knowledge (37.22% vs 12.7% knowledge increase). The results of wilcoxon's analysis on changes in nutritional behavior did not show any differences in pictorial and audiovisual stories (p value=0.644), this means that both are equally effective in improving the nutritional behavior of school children. Suggested to carry out nutrition education regularly to reduce wasting in school children.
