Pemberdayaan masyarakat dalam penanganan diare pada anak-anak di perumahan global mansion rw 014 kelurahan periuk Kota Tangerang

Abstract

Diarrhea is a condition when the frequency of bowel movements (BAB) increases to three times a day or more, accompanied by a liquid or runny stool texture. The spread of diarrhea usually occurs through infection with pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and parasites. In addition to causing pain and death, diarrhea will also inhibit a child's growth and development because it can cause stunting. Continuous and ongoing education among the community so that cases of diarrhea in children can be suppressed through community service activities. This activity aims to increase the knowledge of cadre mothers and community members about the causes, prevention, and treatment of diarrhea in children and the importance of awareness of clean and healthy living behaviors.
