Abstrak

Background: Nutritional issues among schoolchildren impact their health and concentration in school. The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is an effort to fulfill nutritional needs in the school environment. Aims: To determine the perceptions of students, teachers, and parents regarding the implementation of the MBG program at SMA Negeri 5 Kendari based on the Health Belief Model (HBM) theory. Methods: This study used a qualitative method with a case study approach, involving nine informants selected using purposive sampling. Results: The study showed that based on the six aspects of the HBM, namely on perceived susceptibility, informants' perceptions varied, with some students feeling vulnerable to health problems if they did not consume MBG, while others feel they are not vulnerable because their nutritional needs have been met, then perceived severity, informants are aware of several risks and health impacts if students did not consume nutritious food. In terms of perceived benefits, the MBG program is perceived to increase energy, health, and concentration in learning, as well as helping reduce students' pocket money expenses. Regarding perceived barriers, there were obstacles such as menu variation and food distribution. Cues to action were derived from school and family support, while self-efficacy was reflected in informants’ confidence in the sustainability of the program. Conclusion: the perceptions of students, teachers, and parents toward the implementation of the MBG program were generally positive across all HBM.
