Abstrak Environmental Health Specialization Public Health Study Program Faculty of Public Health Tadulako University, Palu Currently, children in many parts of the world, especially in Southeast Asia, are still facing the impact of diarrheal disease which is the second leading cause of death globally. Inadequate WASH can cause 90% of deaths in children under five due to diarrheal disease. In Palu City, based on data from the Kamonji Community Health Center, this research will look at how often toddlers experience diarrhea and whether there is a relationship between washing and this. This research uses a quantitative research design with the case control method. The population in this study was 143 toddlers, using the Standley Lameshow formula, a sample of 122 toddlers was obtained, and the sampling technique used was Probability Sampling technique with Cluster Random Sampling type. In this study, statistically the relationship between the availability of clean water and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers could not be analyzed because the variable of availability of clean water in the working area of the Kamonji Community Health Center obtained results that met the requirements of 100%. However, the research results show that there is a relationship between ownership of toilets, wastewater channels, clean and healthy living behavior, and the incidence of diarrhea in toddlers (p=0.000, p=0.000, and p=0.000 respectively). This research found that the prevalence of diarrheal disease is related to factors related to sanitation facilities, including ownership of latrines, waste water pipes, as well as hygiene habits and healthy lifestyles demonstrated by mothers towards their children. Environmental sanitation and implementing correct clean and healthy living habits are two important recommendations conveyed by this study to the community. Keywords: Toddler, Diarrhea, WASH |
