GAMBARAN KEJADIAN DIARE, FAKTOR PHBS, JAMBAN SEHAT, DAN AIR BERSIH

Abstract

Background:. Diarrhea is a health condition characterized by increased frequency and looseness of stool, which can result in dehydration and is potentially fatal, especially in children. According to global data, diarrhea is one of the main causes of death among children under the age of five, with significant death rates occurring in developing countries, including Indonesia Objective: This research aims to analyze the relationship between clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS), access to clean water, and the presence of healthy latrines on the incidence of diarrhea in Indonesia. Methods: Using secondary data from the 2019-2023 RI Health Profile using 3 variables, namely PHBS, healthy latrines and clean water taken from data from 34 provinces. This research applies quantitative descriptive methods with statistical analysis. Results: The research results show that poor access to clean water and inadequate sanitation contribute to the high incidence of diarrhea. Even though efforts to increase PHBS have been made, there are still disparities in the implementation of good sanitation practices in various regions. This research also identifies that the presence of healthy latrines is not always directly related to reducing the number of diarrhea. PHBS and consistent use of clean water have a positive impact in reducing the incidence diarrhea. Conclusion: Thus, this research emphasizes the contribution of PHBS, clean water and healthy latrines to the incidence of diarrhea.
