Introduction: Skipping breakfast may contribute to poor academic and nutritional status among school children. The current study aimed to determine the effect of the MAPAGI (Makan Pagi Bergizi) interactive video game on elementary students breakfast knowledge and attitude. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental equivalent group study with a pre-post test control group design. In total 228 students aged 9-11 years were drawn by proportional stratified random sampling from two urban schools and were distributed equally into intervention (IG) and control groups (CG). Both groups were administered with similar printed media for 10-15 minutes. Video game was delivered only to IG for two consecutive days 30 minutes each day. Pre-test (PT0) was performed a day before leaflet administration while post-test was performed twice “ after leaflet administration (post-test 1/ PT1) and a week after the last video game (post-test 2/PT2). Paired independent t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were employed to answer the research questions. Results: The mean changes (PT1-PT0 and PT2-PT0) in knowledge score for IG (4.822.53 and 3.252.47) significantly differed compared to CG (1.752.66 and 1.252.69). The mean changes in attitude score for IG (7.167.17 and 7.347.11) also significantly differed compared to CG (2.836.58 and 2.646.90). After adjustment for potential confounding factors there was still a significantly greater score in childrens knowledge and attitude after a weeks administration of MAPAGI video game in IG. Conclusion: MAPAGI improved school childrens knowledge and attitude which may lead to the good behaviour of having breakfast.

Abstract

Introduction: Skipping breakfast may contribute to poor academic and nutritional status among school children. The current study aimed to determine the effect of the MAPAGI (Makan Pagi Bergizi) interactive video game on elementary students breakfast knowledge and attitude. Methods: This was a quasi-experimental equivalent group study with a pre-post test control group design. In total 228 students aged 9-11 years were drawn by proportional stratified random sampling from two urban schools and were distributed equally into intervention (IG) and control groups (CG). Both groups were administered with similar printed media for 10-15 minutes. Video game was delivered only to IG for two consecutive days 30 minutes each day. Pre-test (PT0) was performed a day before leaflet administration while post-test was performed twice “ after leaflet administration (post-test 1/ PT1) and a week after the last video game (post-test 2/PT2). Paired independent t-test and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) were employed to answer the research questions. Results: The mean changes (PT1-PT0 and PT2-PT0) in knowledge score for IG (4.822.53 and 3.252.47) significantly differed compared to CG (1.752.66 and 1.252.69). The mean changes in attitude score for IG (7.167.17 and 7.347.11) also significantly differed compared to CG (2.836.58 and 2.646.90). After adjustment for potential confounding factors there was still a significantly greater score in childrens knowledge and attitude after a weeks administration of MAPAGI video game in IG. Conclusion: MAPAGI improved school childrens knowledge and attitude which may lead to the good behaviour of having breakfast.
