Abstract

Diarrhea remains a major public health problem among under-five children in Indonesia, particularly in areas with limited sanitation and disadvantaged socioeconomic conditions. Maternal knowledge, personal hygiene, and family economic status are key factors influencing the incidence of diarrhea. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between maternal knowledge, personal hygiene, and family economic status and the incidence of diarrhea in the working area of the Pekauman Public Health Center, Banjarmasin. A cross-sectional design was employed using accidental sampling, involving 40 mothers with children aged 2–5 years who visited the Pekauman Public Health Center. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Spearman Rank correlation test. The results demonstrated significant associations between maternal knowledge (p = 0.008; r = 0.412), personal hygiene (p = 0.000; r = 0.710), and family economic status (p = 0.000; r = 0.645) and the incidence of diarrhea, with personal hygiene showing the strongest correlation. This study contributes to public health practice by emphasizing the importance of integrated, family-based interventions, including strengthening maternal education, improving hygienic behaviors, and enhancing family economic capacity, to reduce diarrhea incidence at the primary health care level.

Abstract

Smoking behavior among adolescents constitutes a serious public health concern due to its adverse health effects and its rapid increase among school-aged populations. Adolescents are particularly susceptible to social environmental influences, especially peer influence and the family environment, which may encourage experimentation with smoking and the development of smoking behavior. This study aimed to examine the association between peer influence and family environment and smoking behavior among adolescents at Public Senior High School 4 Banjarmasin. This study employed a quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach. The population consisted of 308 tenth-grade students, and a sample of 175 respondents was selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire that had undergone validity and reliability testing. The Chi-square test results indicated a significant association between peer influence and smoking behavior (p = 0.001) as well as between family environment and smoking behavior (p = 0.002). Negative peer influence functioned as a protective factor against adolescent smoking behavior, whereas positive peer influence and a family environment with smoking family members increased the risk of smoking initiation. These findings underscore the importance of education, supervision, and active involvement of families and schools in efforts to prevent smoking behavior among adolescents

Abstract

Diarrhea remains a public health problem among elementary school children and is closely associated with the low implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (CHLB). Health education is an important effort in diarrhea prevention; however, conventional methods are often less engaging for children. This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of video-based media in improving students’ understanding of CHLB as an effort to prevent diarrhea among students at Kelayan Timur 13 Public Elementary School, Banjarmasin. This study employed a quantitative method using a pre-experimental one-group pre-test–post-test design. The study population consisted of 82 students from grades III to VI, selected using a total sampling technique. Students’ understanding of CHLB was measured using a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability before and after the educational intervention delivered through video-based media. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test. The results showed a significant improvement in students’ understanding after the educational intervention. Prior to the intervention, students’ understanding ranged from poor to good, whereas after the intervention, all respondents (100%) achieved a good level of understanding. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference between pre-test and post-test scores (p = 0.001). It can be concluded that education on CHLB delivered through video-based media is effective in improving elementary school students’ understanding for diarrhea prevention.
