Abstract

Background: Diarrhea is a disease transmitted through water and is a major problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. This study aims to determine the relationship between host behavior and environmental sanitation with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the working area of the Makrayu Health Center, Palembang City. Methods: This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design with a total sample of 68 toddlers. Data analysis was performed univariately, bivariate using chi-square and multivariate multiple logistic regression prediction models. Findings: Based on data from the Makrayu Community Health Center, Palembang City, 2022, the prevalence of diarrhea in toddlers is 28.9%. The results of the multivariate analysis showed that the most significant variable on the incidence of diarrhea in children under five was the habit of washing hands (p-value 0.012) after controlling for the variables of processing, provision, and serving of food, quality of latrines, and waste disposal facilities. Host behavior and poor environmental sanitation can cause rapid transmission of diarrhea. Therefore, people are advised to pay attention to small things with big meanings by always practicing a clean and healthy life to avoid germs that cause disease. Conclusion: The analysis results show a relationship between the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers and food processing, provision and serving, hand washing habits, and garbage disposal facilities. In contrast, the source of clean water, latrines' quality, and garbage disposal have no significant relationship with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in the work area. Makrayu Health Center Palembang City. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study uniquely identifies handwashing behavior as the most influential factor in toddler diarrhea incidence after controlling for key environmental sanitation variables.

Abstract

Stunting in children under five is a crucial public health issue in developing countries, including Indonesia. Poor environmental sanitation has been identified as a significant factor influencing the incidence of stunting. This study aims to review the latest literature linking environmental sanitation conditions with the prevalence of stunting. The method used in this research is a literature review, utilizing several research articles from the past five years obtained from various scientific journal sources. The type of study is an observational analytic survey with a case-control design. The research was conducted by comparing two groups: cases and controls. Based on the literature review, poor environmental sanitation, particularly access to clean water and adequate sanitation facilities, has a significant relationship with the high prevalence of stunting in children across various countries. Providing clean water, proper sanitation facilities, and hygiene education programs have been proven to reduce stunting rates. Improving access to environmental sanitation and hygiene is a critical step in reducing the prevalence of stunting. Sanitation interventions should be a priority in public health programs in developing countries.
