Abstrak

Low fruit and vegetable consumption remains a nutritional problem in the community, including in Southeast Sulawesi. Housewives play a crucial role in determining family food consumption patterns, therefore, improving nutritional knowledge in this group is essential. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of fruit and vegetable consumption education on improving housewives' knowledge using a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pre-test and post-test design. The study was conducted in December 2024 in Anggoeya Village, Poasia District, Kendari City, involving 25 purposively selected housewives. Data were collected through pre-test and post-test questionnaires, then analyzed descriptively and inferentially using the Wilcoxon test. The results showed a significant increase in respondents' knowledge after education (p < 0.05). Fruit and vegetable consumption education, supported by PowerPoint presentations, leaflets, and flashcards, proved effective in increasing housewives' knowledge and has the potential to support improvements in fruit and vegetable consumption patterns at the family level
