Abstract

Academic achievement reflects the success of the learning process and serves as an indicator of educational quality. Various factors may influence academic performance, including breakfast habits and the level of learning concentration. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between breakfast habits and learning concentration with academic achievement among undergraduate nursing students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Purwokerto. This research employed a quantitative analytic observational design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 89 respondents were selected using stratified random sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires and analyzed using chi-square and ordinal logistic regression tests. The results showed a significant relationship between breakfast habits (p = 0.036) and learning concentration (p = 0.001) with academic achievement. Learning concentration was found to be the most dominant factor associated with academic performance, particularly among students in the low (OR = 0.039; p = 0.001) and moderate (OR = 0.213; p = 0.003) concentration categories, with a Nagelkerke pseudo R-square value of 0.367. These findings suggest that enhancing learning concentration can contribute more substantially to students’ academic achievement.
