Abstract

Abstract: Diarrhea is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in toddlers, especially in developing countries like Indonesia. Maternal knowledge, parenting behavior, and environmental sanitation conditions are known to play an important role in the incidence of diarrhea. This study aims to analyze factors related to diarrhea in toddlers in the working area of the Rantau Community Health Center, Aceh Tamiang Regency. The study used a quantitative analytical design with a cross-sectional approach, involving 94 mothers selected through stratified random sampling. Data analysis was performed using the Chi Square test. The results showed a significant relationship between maternal knowledge, parenting behavior, and environmental sanitation with the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers. This finding confirms that diarrhea prevention efforts require not only increasing maternal health literacy, but also changes in daily behavior and improving access to proper sanitation. The practical implication of this study is the need for integrated public health interventions, in the form of maternal education, habituation of clean and healthy living behavior, and improvement of household sanitation facilities to reduce the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers.

Abstrak: Diare merupakan salah satu penyebab utama morbiditas dan mortalitas pada balita, khususnya di negara berkembang seperti Indonesia. Faktor pengetahuan ibu, perilaku pengasuhan, dan kondisi sanitasi lingkungan diketahui berperan penting terhadap kejadian diare. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis faktor faktor yang berhubungan dengan diare pada balita di wilayah kerja Puskesmas Rantau Kabupaten Aceh Tamiang. Penelitian menggunakan desain analitik kuantitatif dengan pendekatan potong lintang, melibatkan 94 ibu yang dipilih melalui stratified random sampling. Analisis data dilakukan dengan uji Chi Square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan adanya hubungan signifikan antara pengetahuan ibu, perilaku pengasuhan, serta sanitasi lingkungan dengan kejadian diare pada balita. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa upaya pencegahan diare tidak hanya membutuhkan peningkatan literasi kesehatan ibu, tetapi juga perubahan perilaku sehari-hari serta perbaikan akses terhadap sanitasi yang layak. Implikasi praktis dari penelitian ini adalah perlunya intervensi kesehatan masyarakat yang terintegrasi, berupa edukasi ibu, pembiasaan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat, serta perbaikan sarana sanitasi rumah tangga guna menekan angka kejadian diare pada balita.
