Abstract

Diarrheal disease remains a significant public health issue in the Riau Islands Province, particularly within the service area of the Kawal Public Health Center (Puskesmas Kawal). In July 2023, a total of 127 cases of diarrhea were reported among children under five at this facility. This study aimed to describe the knowledge and behavior of mothers in relation to the incidence of diarrhea in young children. A descriptive quantitative research design was employed, involving a purposive sample of 32 respondents. Data were collected through structured questionnaires. The findings revealed that 75% (24 respondents) demonstrated a good level of knowledge about diarrheal disease, 18.75% (6 respondents) had a moderate level of knowledge, and 6.25% (2 respondents) showed a low level of knowledge. In terms of behavior, 75% of respondents exhibited good practices, while the remaining 25% demonstrated moderate practices. Notably, deficiencies in knowledge were primarily observed regarding the long-term consequences of diarrhea and its prevention strategies. Behavioral shortcomings included allowing food to be exposed to flies and improper household waste disposal. These results underscore the need for enhanced community education programs focused on food hygiene and waste management to improve public awareness and practices in preventing diarrheal diseases.
