Sosialisasi Peningkatan Kesehatan Anak Usia 4-6 Tahun Dengan Penerapan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) Pada Era Pandemi Covid-19

Abstract

Covid-19 causes disruption to the human respiratory system. This virus has infected millions of people causing high mortality rates worldwide. Children are very vulnerable to covid-19 transmission so it is necessary to instill clean and healthy living behaviors at the age of entering kindergarten (4-6 years). This community service activity aims to provide education and assistance for clean and healthy living behaviors in kindergarten children in the era of the co-19 pandemic. The targets in the implementation of this service were 23 children. Education is carried out using the action review method with a participatory approach. The methods used in implementing this activity are discussion, demonstration and question and answer. Evaluation was carried out by question and answer and practice using media to determine the knowledge of participants before and after education was given.  The results of the activity show that the education provided by the facilitator can increase children's knowledge of clean and healthy living behavior as evidenced by children being able to practice correctly according to WHO hand washing guidelines.
