lingkungan kurang bersih, kebiasaan Jajan di sekolah dan jarang cuci tangan. Berdasarkan hasil
pengamatan awal di SD 9/IV Kota Jambi, tampak penjaja makanan di depan sekolah, di samping
SD terdapat tempat sampah dan got cukup besar sehingga tampak kurang bersih dimana hal ini
dapat membuat aroma kurang sedap untuk anak SD tersebut dan banyaknya penjaja makanan di
depan SD membuat anak sering membeli makanan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, tim pengabdian
tertarik melakukan penyuluhan dengan judul pencegahan diare dengan perilaku Hand Wash di SD
9/IV Kota Jambi. Pengabdian dilakukan pada bulan Juni 2020. Pengabdian dilakukan dalam bentuk
penyuluhan. Berdasarkan hasil pengabdian anak-anak usia sekolah dasar mengalami peningkatan
pengetahuan mengenai pencegahan diare dan mengalami peningkatan hand wash. Hasil pengabdian
ini diharapakan anak-anak SD 9/IV Kota Jambi mampu membiasakan cuci tangan (hand wash)
sebelum makan atau jajan selama di sekolah bahkan di rumah.
