Abstract

Background: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), in 2019, around 600 million people (nearly 1 in 10 people worldwide) fell ill, and 420,000 died each year due to consuming unsafe food (B.P.O.M., 2019). Diarrhea is a condition characterized by passing stools more than three times a day, often with a liquid consistency and sometimes accompanied by blood or mucus, occurring more frequently than usual. Diarrheal disease is a common endemic condition in Indonesia. It can lead to outbreaks (K.L.B.), often resulting in death, with one cause being the consumption of unsafe snacks (Indonesian Health Profile, 2016). Objective: To identify the relationship between the snacking habits of school children and the incidence of diarrheal diseases at SD N 2 Kebulusan. Methods: This research is a quantitative study using a descriptive-analytical method. The sample consisted of 74 participants, selected using the Slovin formula. Data was collected via a questionnaire, processed using S.P.S.S., and analyzed descriptively, with results presented in tabular form. Results: The findings showed that most respondents were 11 years old (47 students, 63.5%), followed by ten years old (24.3%), 12 years old (8.0%), and 13 years old (1.0%). Regarding gender, 43 respondents were male (58.1%), and 31 were female (41.9%). Most respondents were in grade 5 (41 students, 55.4%), while 33 (44.6%) were in grade 4. Additionally, 69 respondents (93.2%) displayed unsafe snacking behaviour, while only five students (6.8%) had relatively safe snacking habits. Conclusion: The Chi-square test results showed a p-value of 0.001, which is smaller than 0.05, indicating a significant relationship between snacking habits and the incidence of diarrhoea. Recommendation: Future researchers are encouraged to conduct studies in larger areas, such as sub-districts or cities, to explore additional variables, such as attitudes and behaviours related to snacking habits.
