| dc.description.abstract | Diarrheal disease remains a significant public health issue closely associated with environmental factors. Environmental factors such as the presence of livestock pens near residential areas can contribute to the increasing incidence of diarrhea in the community. This condition is related to poor livestock pen sanitation, high fly density, well construction that does not meet health standards. This study aims to determine the relationship of livestock pen sanitation, fly density, and well conditions with diarrhea incidence in community of Aek Banir Village Panyabungan Sub District. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design was used, involving 40 livestock farmers, selected through total sampling. Data were collected using observation sheets, questionnaires, and fly grills. Data analysis was performed using the chi-square test, with Fisher’s Exact Test. The results showed that (60,0%) of livestock pens did not meet sanitation standards, (52,5%) had high fly density, (50,0%) of wells were in poor condition, and (55,0%) of livestock owners had experienced diarrhea. The chi-square with Fisher’s Exact indicated a significant relationship between livestock pen sanitation (p = 0,000), fly density (p = 0,000), and well conditions (p = 0,000) with the incidence of diarrhea. Inadequate environmental sanitation in livestock areas significantly contributes to the high incidence of diarrhea. The community needs to improve livestock pen sanitation, manage livestock waste properly, and ensure wells are constructed according to health standards. Active involvement from village authorities and healthcare workers is crucial in providing education and conducting regular. | en_US |
