Abstract: Diarrhea is a
disease with change of feces form and concentration in which feces is mushy to
liquid, and the increase of poop frequency more than usual (three times or more
in a day). In Aceh Province, there were diarrhea cases as many as 48/1,000 live
births. In West Aceh District, there were 1,071 cases in 2014, meanwhile there
were 70 cases among toddlers in Meureubo Subdistrict. This study aimed to
determine relation between mothers’attitude as breeders and distance of
stockyard toward diarrhea incidence among toddlers in work scope of Meureubo
District Primary Health Care. This study was cross-sectional as conducted on
July – September 2015. Samples were 70 mothers who had toddlers suffering from
diarrhea symptoms. Data analysis used univariate, bivariate and multivariate.
Chisquare test showed that mothers’ attitude as breeders and the distance of
stockyard were related to diarrhea incidence among toddlers (p value <
0.05), meanwhile multivariate test showed mothers’ attitude as breeders and the
distance of stockyard had no significant relation (p value > 0.05). Diarrhea
incidence among toddlers is related to mothers’attitude as breeders and the
distance of stockyard, but the relation is insignificant.
