Abstract

The implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in primary schools is a strategic step in shaping students’ character to care about cleanliness and environmental health. However, student behavior in maintaining school hygiene is often not optimal due to limited understanding and awareness of PHBS. Purpose: This study aims to determine the effect of PHBS education on student behavior in maintaining environmental cleanliness at SD Anduring, Padang. Method: A quantitative approach with a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design was applied. The sample consisted of 50 students from grades IV and V selected purposively. Instruments used were validated questionnaires and observation sheets to measure changes in student behavior before and after education. The PHBS intervention was conducted through interactive counseling, including lectures, handwashing practice demonstrations, and audiovisual media, delivered in two sessions over two weeks. Results: Findings showed a significant improvement in hygiene behaviors such as proper waste disposal, classroom cleaning, and participation in environmental hygiene activities, with a significance value of p < 0.05. Implications: These results indicate that PHBS education is effective in increasing students’ awareness and responsibility toward the school environment and can be integrated into thematic learning and extracurricular activities. Conclusion: PHBS education has a positive and significant effect on student behavior in maintaining school cleanliness at SD Anduring Padang and is feasible to be developed as part of school culture.

Abstract

Community-based Total Sanitation (STBM) is a national approach to improving sanitation and public health through behavioral change. However, evidence on its effectiveness in shaping clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) remains limited. Objective: This study evaluates the effectiveness of the STBM program in changing PHBS in a community intervention area. Methods: A mixed-methods design was applied. Quantitative data were collected from 150 respondents using pre- and post-intervention questionnaires and analyzed with paired t-tests. Qualitative data were obtained from in-depth interviews with community leaders and health workers and analyzed thematically. Results: Handwashing with soap increased from 58% to 82% (p < 0.01), the use of healthy latrines rose from 70% to 85% (p < 0.05), and household waste management improved from 62% to 76% (p = 0.06). Interviews revealed growing awareness of sanitation and environmental health, supported by active roles of health cadres and local leaders. Implications: These findings confirm that STBM is effective as a community-based strategy for behavior change, highlighting the importance of continuous education, participatory implementation, and integration with local development programs. Conclusion: STBM has a positive and significant impact on PHBS, and its sustainability depends on community participation and local government support.
