Abstract

Abstrak

Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS), khususnya Cuci Tangan Pakai Sabun (CTPS), merupakan langkah preventif essensial untuk mencegah penyakit menular. Anak-anak di Panti Asuhan As Salaam 2, merupakan kelompok rentan dimana praktik CTPS yang benar seringkali belum optimal diterapkan akibat kurangnya pengetahuan dan fasilitas. Program Kemitraan Masyarakat (PKM) bertujuan untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan praktik cuci tangan yang benar sesuai standar WHO pada anak-anak Panti Asuhan "As Salaam 2". Metode pelaksanaan meliputi edukasi melalui penyuluhan, diskusi, pemutaran video, dan demonstrasi langsung 6 langkah CTPS. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui kuesioner pra-pasca untuk mengukur pengetahuan dan sikap, serta observasi langsung untuk menilai keterampilan praktik cuci tangan. Terjadi peningkatan pemahaman yang signifikan mengenai pentingnya CTPS. Sebanyak 95,5% peserta (21 dari 22 anak) telah memahami definisi dan manfaat CTPS. Dari segi keterampilan, seluruh peserta (100%) telah mampu mempraktikkan langkah menggosok telapak dan sela-sela jari dengan benar, meskipun langkah membersihkan pergelangan tangan masih perlu ditingkatkan (77,3% benar). Fasilitas cuci tangan juga disediakan untuk mendukung keberlanjutan program. Pendekatan edukasi yang interaktif dan partisipatif terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan pengetahuan, sikap, dan keterampilan CTPS pada anak panti asuhan.

Abstract

Abstract Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS), particularly Handwashing with Soap (CTPS), is an essential preventive step to prevent infectious diseases. Children at As Salaam 2 Orphanage are a vulnerable group where proper CTPS practices are often not optimally implemented due to a lack of knowledge and facilities. The Community Partnership Program (PKM) aims to improve the knowledge, attitudes, and practical skills of proper handwashing according to WHO standards among the children of the "As Salaam 2" Orphanage. The implementation methods include education thru counselling, discussion, video screening, and a live demonstration of the 6-step CTPS. Evaluation is conducted thru pre-post questionnaires to measure knowledge and attitudes, as well as direct observation to assess handwashing practice skills. There has been a significant increase in understanding regarding the importance of CTPS. A total of 95.5% of participants (21 out of 22 children) understood the definition and benefits of CTPS. In terms of skills, all participants (100%) were able to correctly practice the steps of scrubbing their palms and between their fingers, although the step of cleaning their wrists still needed improvement (77.3% correct). Handwashing facilities are also provided to support the sustainability of the program. An interactive and participatory educational approach has proven effective in improving CTPS knowledge, attitudes, and skills among orphanage children.
