Abstract

ARI is still the main cause of morbidity and mortality from infectious diseases in the world. According to 2020 World Health Organization (WHO) data, it is known that there were 1,988 cases of ISPA in toddlers aged 1-5 years with a prevalence of 42.91%. In Indonesia, ARI always ranks as the first cause of death in infants and toddlers. ISPA also often occupies the list of the 10 most common diseases in hospitals and health centers. ISPA disease in developing countries accounts for 25% of deaths in children, especially babies aged less than two months. Indonesia is one of the developing countries with the highest number of ISPA cases. Data from 2021-2023, ISPA continues to increase and has reached 200 thousand cases. According to data from the Megang Community Health Center, it was found that the number of toddlers suffering from ISPA in 2023 was 522 children (Megang Health Center Profile, 2023). Based on these problems, the author chose to provide counseling regarding ISPA and a demonstration of steam therapy with eucalyptus oil aromatherapy as an alternative for treating ISPA, especially in toddlers. The outreach and demonstration activities were carried out directly at RT 01, Batu Urip Village, Lubuklinggau City, attended by 31 mothers of toddlers, cadres, sub-district midwives and field CIs. Residents who attended were active and cooperative in the outreach program and demonstration of steam therapy using eucalyptus oil aromatherapy. The participants participated in the extension and demonstration activities actively and enthusiastically, as evidenced by the many participants who asked and answered questions from the extension officers during the question and answer and discussion sessions. After the activity is finished, it is closed by completing the posttest by the participants.

Abstract

Diarrheal disease is an endemic condition that has the potential to cause outbreaks and continues to contribute to mortality rates in Indonesia, especially among toddlers. The results of the Basic Health Research show that the prevalence of diarrhea across all age groups is 8%, while it is 12.3% among toddlers and 10.6% among infants. Several factors are associated with the incidence of diarrhea, such as knowledge, age, education, occupation, environment, nutrition, and socio-economic status. The objective of this research is to determine the correlation between maternal knowledge and economic status with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. The method used is a descriptive correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to 38 respondents who had toddlers and sought treatment at Muara Rupit Family Clinic, using the total sampling technique.The univariate analysis results showed that most respondents (57.9%) had toddlers who experienced diarrhea, nearly half of the respondents (44.7%) had sufficient knowledge, and almost half of the respondents (42.1%) were of low economic status. The bivariate analysis results indicated a significant correlation between economic status and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers (p-value = 0.014 < 0.05), and a significant correlation between maternal education and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers (p-value = 0.015 < 0.05). The researchers recommend that healthcare workers increase counseling about diarrhea as part of efforts to reduce its incidence and improve maternal knowledge about the disease.
