Diarrhea is one of the leading causes of death in toddlers (balita), particularly in developing countries like Indonesia. Diarrhea management can be implemented through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments, one of which involves using guava leaf infusion, known for its antidiarrheal properties. Mothers' knowledge and attitudes toward using guava leaf infusion significantly influence diarrhea management at home. This study aims to determine the relationship between mothers' knowledge and attitudes regarding guava leaf infusion for diarrhea management in toddlers at Paal Merah II Community Health Center, Jambi City, in 2025. This quantitative research utilized a cross-sectional design. The sample consisted of 40 mothers who have toddlers, selected using the accidental sampling technique. The research instrument involved questionnaires for knowledge questions and attitude statements. Data analysis employed univariate and bivariate analysis, using the ChiSquare statistical test to determine the relationship between the independent variable (knowledge) and the dependent variable (attitude). The findings indicate that the majority of respondents had high knowledge (25 respondents, 62.5%) and a positive attitude (21 respondents, 52.5%).
