CORRELATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH THE INCIDENCE OF DIARRHEA IN UNDER-FIVE IN INDONESIA : A COMMUNITY BASED TOTAL SANITATION APPROACH TOWARD ACHIEVEMENT MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS
ABSTRACT: Diarrhea is a
worldwide health problem, especially in the developing countries. Based on WHO
(2010) that 58% of under-five deaths were caused by infectious diseases, one on
it was diarrhea.Based on Ministry of Health Indonesia (2011), 8.8 million child
deaths in the world was 1,3 million caused by diarrhea in 2008, and more than
98% of it occur in 68 the developing countries. In Indonesia 5% of under-five
deaths were caused by diarrhea (WHO, 2010). The purpose of this research is to
analyze the association between environmental factors with the incidence of
diarrhea in under-five.
Method: The method used in documentation was by collecting the data from
the results of research studies as well as supporting the secondary data
sources. The data analysis was descriptive analysis technique.
Result: The research results of Eralita (2001), showed that variables had
significant correlation with diarrhea were clean water facilities OR=6.610,
having latrine OR=2.896, waste water sewage facilitiesOR=5.967, and solid waste
container facilities OR=3.746. The research by Sinthamurniwaty (2006), the risk
factor that influence diarrhea in under-five was who do not use clean water
source (OR = 2,208). Also, the research results of Rosyidi (2011) at District
Lebong, Bengkulu Province showed the variable that associated was location of
septic tank OR=4.934. It strengthened by the research of Santoso (2003) in the
Sukarta City, that was discovered coliform content in water sources clean. This
suggests the existence of contamination by feces as a source of diarrhea
disease.
Conclusion: There is association between a family privy with incidence of
diarrhea, this indicates that environment pollution caused by faces as the
source of diarrhea.
