Cacingan akibat soil-transmitted helminths (STH) masih menjadi masalah kesehatan pada anak usia sekolah, terutama pada lingkungan dengan kebiasaan kebersihan diri dan sanitasi yang belum konsisten. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini bertujuan meningkatkan pengetahuan siswa tentang penularan, dampak kesehatan, dan pencegahan cacingan melalui penerapan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS). Kegiatan dilaksanakan di SDN 44 Ampenan, Kota Mataram, pada 8 November 2025 dengan sasaran 27 siswa kelas IV. Metode kegiatan berupa edukasi kesehatan interaktif dengan rancangan evaluasi deskriptif one-group pretest-posttest. Tahapan kegiatan meliputi koordinasi dengan pihak sekolah, pemberian pretest, penyampaian materi menggunakan PowerPoint, leaflet, spanduk, permainan edukatif, diskusi, tanya jawab, dan posttest. Hasil evaluasi menunjukkan nilai rata-rata pengetahuan meningkat dari 92,59 pada pretest menjadi 100,00 pada posttest, dengan peningkatan 7,41 poin; proporsi siswa yang memperoleh nilai 100 meningkat dari 66,67% menjadi 100%. Edukasi memperkuat pemahaman siswa mengenai cuci tangan pakai sabun, penggunaan alas kaki, kebersihan kuku, kebersihan makanan, serta penggunaan obat cacing sesuai arahan tenaga kesehatan. Kegiatan ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi interaktif di sekolah dapat menjadi strategi promosi kesehatan untuk penguatan pengetahuan pencegahan cacingan. Penguatan oleh guru, orang tua, UKS, dan puskesmas diperlukan agar PHBS diterapkan secara konsisten di rumah dan sekolah.
Abstract
Helminthiasis caused by soil-transmitted helminths (STH) remains a public health concern among school-aged children, particularly in settings where personal hygiene and sanitation practices require continuous reinforcement. This community service activity aimed to improve students' knowledge of helminthiasis transmission, health impacts, and prevention through clean and healthy living behavior. The activity was conducted at SDN 44 Ampenan, Mataram, on 8 November 2025 and involved 27 fourth-grade students. The method used an interactive health education approach with a descriptive one-group pretest-posttest evaluation design. The activity included school coordination, pretest administration, education using PowerPoint, leaflet, banner, educational games, discussion, question-and-answer session, and posttest. The mean knowledge score increased from 92.59 in the pretest to 100.00 in the posttest, representing a 7.41-point improvement; the proportion of students obtaining a perfect score increased from 66.67% to 100%. The education strengthened students' understanding of handwashing with soap, footwear use, nail hygiene, food hygiene, and appropriate deworming practices under health worker guidance. These findings indicate that interactive school-based education can support health promotion for strengthening helminthiasis prevention knowledge. Continued reinforcement by teachers, parents, school health units, and local health centers is needed to sustain clean and healthy behaviors at home and at school.
