Abstract

Diarrhea is still a health problem in Indonesia, and in Palembang cases of diarrhea are still high, especially in children. In 2015, cases of diarrhea in the working area of the Opi Jakabaring Community Health Center, Palembang City, reached 1,523 cases with 250 cases (17%) occurring in children aged 5-14 years. This age group is the elementary school age group. Washing your hands properly with soap can reduce the risk of diarrhea by 42 to 47%. This study aims to determine the factors related to hand washing behavior with soap among students at State Elementary School 81, Palembang City. This type of research is quantitative with a cross sectional approach. The total population in the study was 216 students, with a sample size of 80 respondents taken using the proportional stratified random sampling technique. Data analysis used univariate and bivariate analysis with the Chi Square statistical test (significance level 0.05). The research results showed that 51.2% of respondents had good hand washing behavior with soap. Furthermore, from the research results it is also known that there is no relationship between age (pvalue= 0.662), gender (pvalue= 0.381), attitude (pvalue= 0.076), availability of CTPS infrastructure (pvalue= 0.383), teacher support (pvalue= 0.075), and family support (pvalue= 0.366) towards students' hand washing behavior with soap. Meanwhile, knowledge (pvalue= 0.025) and peer support (pvalue= 0.026) have a p-value ≤ α (0.05) so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between these variables and students' hand washing behavior with soap. The suggestion from this research is to increase knowledge about CTPS by conveying information either through lessons or visual health promotion media that are interesting and easy for students to understand.
