Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study to design a board game that will enable primary school children to recognize foods by enabling them to distinguish between healthy and unhealthy foods by going beyond the traditional education patterns and to compare the effects of this board game-based nutrition education intervention on children's behaviors, self-efficacy, and attitudes with the control group in which no intervention was made.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nutrition is an important part of health and development. In particular, the gaining of healthy eating habits in early childhood promotes growth and development and reduces the risk of many non-communicable diseases, especially obesity. In order to create healthy societies in the future, nutrition education is one of the effective methods for developing healthy eating behaviors and raising awareness starting from childhood. Game-based education approaches provide motivation for learning information that is made a part of the game by going beyond traditional education methods. Board games are used in nutrition education by giving children the opportunity to think interactively and make different choices with their immersive stories and designs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Intervention Group

The intervention group refers to the group that will the "Food Hunter" board game intervention developed by the researchers to enable children to recognize healthy and unhealthy foods; to learn what vitamins and minerals are necessary for children in the growth and development period, their effects on our health and in which foods they are found.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Board Game

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

Food Hunter board game intervention, which includes various nutrient cards and question cards and is played with pawns and dice, will be played with children for approximately 4 weeks, one day a week and one session (40 minutes) with the researcher dietitian. By talking about the nutrients in the game on the game cards, children will be able to recognize the nutrients and important points will be emphasized for the participants with the answers to the cards containing various questions about healthy nutrition.

Control Group

The control group refers to the group that will not receive any nutrition education intervention.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
