The Effectiveness of Using an Applied Pop-up Book as an Educational Medium to Teach Students at Al-Mustarih Islamic Junior High School in Bogor City about Hypertension

Abstract

Hypertension is a leading cause of mortality worldwide and remains highly prevalent in Indonesia, including among younger populations. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptance of an interactive educational pop-up book in improving junior high school students’ nutritional knowledge and behaviors as a preventive measure against hypertension. A quasi-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design was employed, involving 64 students from SMP Islam Al-Mustarih in Bogor City. The intervention included a lecture and the use of a pop-up book. The Wilcoxon test showed a significant increase in nutritional knowledge after the intervention (p<0.001), with an n-gain percent of 67% categorized as moderately effective in increasing subject’s knowledge. Furthermore, the media was well received, with 92.2% of participants expressing positive responses. In conclusion, the pop-up book proved to be both effective and well-accepted for delivering nutritional education to support hypertension prevention in adolescents.
