| Summary: | Background: Diarrhea is caused by infection, malabsorption, and food consumption. Based on the results of the Indonesian Basic Health Research (Riskesdas) in 2018, the frequency of diarrhea in Indonesian people diagnosed by health workers is 6.80%. Purpose: This study aimed to determine the relationship between environmental sanitation and diarrhea in children aged 12-59 months in Pojok Village, Purwosari District, Bojonegoro Regency. Methods: This study used analytical observations from a Cross-Sectiononal design. The sampling method used was total sampling. The population for this study consisted of mothers with children aged 12-59 months, as many as 24 people in the village of Pojok in the Purwosari district of Bojonegolo Regency in 2020. The statistical test used Chi-Square with computer software. Results: The results showed that respondents who did not have healthy latrines had a higher risk of developing diarrhea than those who had healthy latrines (PR = 2.60, 95% CI = 1.01-6.69, p = 0.02). Respondents who did not have closed SPAL had a higher risk of developing diarrhea than those who had closed SPAL (PR = 3.10, 95% CI = 1.19-8.07, p = 0.00). Respondents who did not have a closed trash can had a higher risk of experiencing diarrhea than those with a closed trash can (PR = 3.50, 95% CI = 1.40-11.79, p = 0.00).Conclusion: In this study, there was a significant association between healthy latrine availability, SPAL availability, and trash availability variables and the incidence of diarrhea in children aged 12-59 months in the village of the Pojok Purwosari district of Bojonegoro. |
