Abstract

Diarrhea is a major public health problem causing morbidity and mortality in children under five years of age, particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. Low rates of exclusive breastfeeding and incomplete rotavirus immunization are important risk factors for diarrhea. This study aimed to examine the relationship between exclusive breastfeeding, rotavirus immunization status, and the incidence of diarrhea in children aged 6–24 months. The study used a case-control design with a quantitative approach, involving 80 respondents: 40 children with diarrhea and 40 children without diarrhea. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and medical record reviews and analyzed using the chi-square test. The results showed a significant association between exclusive breastfeeding and the incidence of diarrhea (p<0.05), with children who were not exclusively breastfed having a 4.18-fold higher risk of diarrhea (OR=4.188). Incomplete rotavirus immunization was also significantly associated with diarrhea, increasing the risk by 10.09 times compared to fully immunized children (OR=10.091). Exclusive breastfeeding and complete rotavirus immunization are significant protective factors against diarrhea in children at the primary healthcare level.

Abstract

Students who manage school health units often have limited knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. This program aims to enhance students' understanding of infectious diseases and health literacy skills at Payangan 1 State Senior High School, who oversee the school's health unit. To achieve this, the community service program at Payangan 1 State Senior High School uses an outreach approach and health literacy-focused demonstrations. The partners in this initiative include students managing the school's health unit, supportive teachers, and health professionals. The PKM consists of several stages, including material preparation. Counselling sessions on infectious diseases (such as HIV, dengue fever, and tuberculosis) for the school's health unit management students, utilizing presentations and focus group discussions.  Improvement of the school's health unit facilities and distribution of personal protective equipment (PPE). Counselling on materials related to adolescent entrepreneurship. To evaluate the program's effectiveness, pretests and posttests were administered to measure changes in knowledge of infectious diseases and health literacy. The results showed a 65.1% increase in knowledge about infectious diseases and a 50% increase in health literacy. It is anticipated that this program will positively impact students' physical, mental, and social health, create a healthier school environment, and empower students to become agents of change within their communities.
