ABSTRAK
Prevalensi kecacingan pada anak di Indonesia masih cukup tinggi yaitu antara 45-65% dan di daerah yang
kondisi lingkungannya buruk bisa mencapai 80%. Kecacingan mengakibatkan kehilangan asupan gizi
seperti karbohidrat danprotein serta kehilangan darah yang berdampak menurunnya kualitas sumber daya
manusia. Kondisi ini dapat menghambat perkembangan fisik, kecerdasan dan produktivitas, menurunkan
ketahanan tubuh sehingga mudah terkena penyakit sehingga berakibat menurunnya kualitas sumber
daya manusia dan risiko tinggi kesakitan dan kematian. Pencegahan dan penanggulangan penyakit
kecacingan memerlukan upaya peningkatan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (PHBS). Pada kegiatan
pengabdian ini, dilakukan penyuluhan dengan metode diskusi interaktif untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan
anak mengenai cacing yang dapat menginfeksi manusia, gejala, cara penularan, pencegahan dan
pengobatan infeksi cacing. Selain itu juga dilakukan demonstrasi senam cuci tangan enam Langkah agar anak dapat menerapkan PHBS dengan baik. Tingkat pengetahuan responden diukur melalui kueisioner
sebanyak dua kali yaitu sebelum penyuluhan (pre test) dan setelah penyuluhan (post test) yang terdiri dari
20 butir pertanyaan. Dari analisis data hasil kueisioner sebelum dilakukan penyuluhan (pre test) dan
sesudah dilakukan penyuluhan (post test) diperoleh rata-rata (mean) hasil pre test 70,12 dengan standar
deviasi 13,78 dan rata-rata hasil post test 80,56 dengan standar deviasi 11,40. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa
terdapat peningkatan rata-rata hasil kueisioner sesudah penyuluhan dibanding sebelum penyuluhan. Hal
ini berarti penyuluhan terhadap siswa di SD N 208/IV Kota Jambi ini cukup bermanfaat dalam
meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa mengenai pencegahan cacingan.
