- Abstract
Globally, there are about 2 billion cases of diarrhea with a mortality rate of 1.5 million per year. The limited access to clean water and the poor personal hygiene in the households are the major causes of diarrheal disease through water transmission. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between the bacteriological quality of water and the use of clean water with the occurrence of diarrhea in households in the work area of Karya Jaya Public Health Center in Palembang. This research used quantitative approaches with cross sectional study design. There were 157 people chosen as the samples who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. They were taken by proportional random sampling in 40 RTs (Households). The results showed a significant relationship between the bacteriological quality of clean water (p=0.006), bacteriological quality of drinking water (p=0,000), clean water sources (p=0,000), drinking water sources (p=0,000), distance of clean water sources with pollution sources (p=0,001), food and beverage sanitation hygiene (p=0.016), and hand washing behavior (p=0,001). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the most dominant variable affecting the occurrence of diarrhea was the bacteriological quality of drinking water (p= 0,000; PR=24,668).
