Penyuluhan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) Pada Siswa Kelas III SDN Kota Baru IX

Abstract

The low level of implementation of Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is still a problem in society, because it contributes to the low level of health in Indonesia and the declining quality of life of human resources. One strategic step to overcome this is to get used to PHBS from an early age by providing education to elementary school students about the importance of maintaining cleanliness and health as part of their daily lifestyle. This community service activity was carried out through counseling on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) to all grade III students at SD Negeri Kota Baru IX. The material presented included the definition of PHBS, the importance of implementing PHBS, the benefits contained therein, and an emphasis on the correct procedures for washing hands and brushing teeth. After the socialization session, students practiced directly to wash their hands and brush their teeth properly, with guidance from KKN students. The results of this activity showed that students were committed to changing their habits towards clean and healthy living behavior, by washing their hands with running water and soap, and brushing their teeth with the appropriate technique.
