Hubungan Tingkat Pengetahuan Dengan Pelaksanaan Sanitasi STBM Di Desa Rajeg Mulya Tahun 2023

Introduction

Hubungan tingkat pengetahuan dengan pelaksanaan sanitasi stbm di desa rajeg mulya tahun 2023. Kaji hubungan pengetahuan & pelaksanaan Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) di Desa Rajeg Mulya 2023. Ada hubungan signifikan antara pengetahuan dan praktik STBM.

Abstract

Pendahuluan: Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) merupakan tanda peningkatan kesehatan masyarakat menuju kemandirian higiene dan sanitasi yang maksimal. Pelaksanaan program STBM terdiri dari lima pilar, yaitu: hentikan buang air besar sembarangan (BABS), cuci tangan pakai sabun (CTPS), bersihkan air dan makanan rumah tangga (PAM RT), pembuangan limbah cair rumah tangga yang benar dan aman. Tujuan: Untuk mengetahui Hubungan Tingkat Pengetahuan dengan Pelaksanaan Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) Di Desa Rajeg Mulya Tahun 2023. Metode: Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian deskriptif dan analisis kuantitatif dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode cross sectional. Teknik Sampel: Teknik yang digunakan adalah total sampling. Jumlah Sampel: Sampel berjumlah 42 responden. Analisis data: Analisis data menggunakan chi square. Hasil Penelitian: Hasil penelitian yang dilaksanakan di Desa Rajeg Mulya, bahwa ada hubungan antara tingkat pengetahuan dengan pelaksanaan Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) memiliki p-value sebesar (0.000). Pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pelaksanaan program Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM) di desa Rajeg Mulya masih kurang.   Kata Kunci: Tingkat Pengetahuan, Pelaksanaan Sanitasi Total Berbasis Masyarakat (STBM).

Review

This study investigates the crucial relationship between the level of knowledge and the implementation of Community-Led Total Sanitation (STBM) in Desa Rajeg Mulya in 2023. The paper addresses a highly relevant public health issue, as STBM is a foundational program for improving hygiene and sanitation behaviors, encompassing critical pillars such as ending open defecation and proper handwashing. The objective to ascertain this relationship is clearly stated, setting a direct and focused scope for the research. The preliminary findings, indicating a significant association, suggest an important contribution to understanding barriers and facilitators to STBM program success at the community level. Methodologically, the study employs a quantitative cross-sectional design, which is appropriate for examining associations at a specific point in time, and uses chi-square analysis to test the hypothesis. A notable strength is the clear articulation of the STBM pillars, contextualizing the sanitation practices under investigation. However, the use of total sampling with a relatively small sample size of 42 respondents might limit the generalizability of the findings, even within the specific village, if the total population is substantially larger. While chi-square can be applied to smaller samples, the modest size may impact statistical power and the robustness of the inference. It would be beneficial for the full paper to elaborate on the "descriptive" aspect mentioned, and to provide more detail on the specific components of knowledge and implementation measured. The primary finding, a statistically significant relationship (p=0.000) between knowledge level and STBM implementation, underscores the critical role of community understanding in the adoption of healthy sanitation practices. This result is further contextualized by the concluding statement that the community's knowledge regarding STBM implementation is still insufficient. This immediately points to a practical implication: public health interventions aimed at improving STBM uptake should prioritize educational components to bridge existing knowledge gaps. Future research could benefit from exploring the specific dimensions of knowledge that are most lacking and most impactful, perhaps through qualitative methods, and by expanding the sample size or including comparative studies across multiple villages to strengthen the evidence base and derive more broadly applicable recommendations.
