This research aims to determine the effectiveness of mindful eating interventions, a technique promoting full awareness during food consumption, to improve healthy eating behavior among PKK mothers in Village X. The research employed a psychoeducational approach through an experimental method with a one-group pre-test - post-test design. The subjects involved were 27 people, all of whom were female and were members of the PKK X Village. Data analysis in this study used nonparametric statistics with the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks test. The results of this study show that mindful eating intervention through a psychoeducational approach has been proven to improve healthy eating behavior among PKK mothers in X Village. This study suggests that mindful eating interventions can improve awareness of food consumption and encourage the formation of healthy eating habits among PKK mothers.
