摘要

Gastritis is inflammation (swelling) of the gastric mucosa. Inappropriate eating patterns and psychological factors often trigger gastritis. Wrong Knowledge about foods that increase stomach acid can lead to complications. Prevention efforts that can be done are providing health education about gastritis. The design used in this study was quasi-experimental with the pretest-posttest design with a control group. The number of samples in this study was 60 people. The sampling technique used is Simple Random sampling with the analysis of Knowledge variables using Mann Whitney while the variable attitude uses an independent T-test. The results of the study on Knowledge showed that the P value <0.05 can be concluded that there is a difference in Knowledge between the intervention group and the control group. The results of the study on attitudes obtained P-value <0.05 can be concluded that there is no difference in attitude between the intervention group and the control group. The provision of education with teaching and lecture methods is reasonable to make the respondents saturated and bored. Therefore there is a need for new things by providing education through educational games so that there is interest in being able to be understood and able to remember the health messages conveyed.
