Abstract:

Orphanages are social institutions that play a crucial role in providing protection, care, and education to children who have lost their parents or families. According to the Indonesian government, the number of abandoned children in Indonesia has reached 67,368, although only a portion of them receive care in orphanages. Currently, there are approximately 12,000 orphanages in Indonesia. One of the critical services provided in orphanages is food service management, which aims to meet children's nutritional needs. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of food service management standards at orphanages in Palangka Raya City and to intervene in the food service process to align it with applicable standards. This research used a quasi-experimental method with a non-equivalent control group design in a two-group pre-test-post-test design. The study sample comprised the entire populations of Orphanage A and Orphanage B, selected using purposive sampling. The respondents in Orphanage A were predominantly male (82%) with an average age of 18 years, while in Orphanage B, the majority were also male (63%) with an average age of 13 years. The score for the implementation of management standards increased from 55 to 77 in Orphanage A and from 58 to 85 in Orphanage B after the intervention. There was a significant improvement in the implementation of food-service management standards across both orphanages. These results indicate that proper implementation of standards can enhance the quality of food services, which ultimately fulfill the nutritional needs of orphans.
