<![CDATA[Community-Based Total Sanitation, or STBM, is an approach to changing hygiene and sanitation behavior through community empowerment and a triggering method. STBM consists of five pillars: the first is Stop Open Defecation, the second is Handwashing with Soap, the third is Household Drinking Water/Food Management, the fourth is Household Waste Management, and the fifth is Household Liquid Waste Management. This research method is quantitative, the research design used is a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest- posttest design approach. The sample in this study amounted to 35 residents of Sarude Village, Sarjo District, Pasangkayu Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. The sampling technique in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The analysis used in this study is univariate and bivariate analysis with the Wilcoxon test (paired t-test). The results of the study showed that pre- and post-test knowledge, P value 1 > 0.05. The results of pre- and post-test attitudes, P value 0.068 > 0.05. The results of pre- and post-test actions, P value 0.013 < 0.05. The conclusion is that there is an influence of counseling on community actions before and after being given counseling, but there is no significant influence on community knowledge and attitudes before and after being given counseling in Sarude Village, Sarjo District, Pasangkayu Regency, Central Sulawesi Province. As a suggestion, it is hoped that the Village and the local Health Center can always socialize the STBM program to cadres and the community so that the community gets information about the importance and benefits of implementing STBM, especially to achieve 100% ODF (Open Defecation Free) Village.]]>
