Abstract :
Diarrhea is a disease transmitted through water and is a significant problem in developing countries, including Indonesia. Based on data from the Makrayu Community Health Center, Palembang City, 2022, the prevalence of diarrhea in toddlers is 28.9%. 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. This quantitative research uses a cross-sectional design with a population of 5,655 toddlers. The total sample of 68 toddlers is determined using a simple random sampling technique. This analysis was performed bivariate using chi-square and multivariate multiple logistic regression. The bivariate analysis results showed 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, the quality of latrines, and garbage disposal had no significant relationship with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers in Makrayu Community Health Center in Palembang City. 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; PR 8.531) 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 significant meanings by always practicing a clean and healthy life to avoid germs that cause disease.
