Abstract

Diarrhea is one of the most common infectious diseases. A survey of students in Islamic boarding schools showed that 9 out of 10 students experience diarrhea every month. This can be caused by several factors, such as environment, sanitation, lack of knowledge, etc. Furthermore, the main factor in the spread of diarrhea is poor sanitation habits. This research will be able to answer the causes of diarrhea incidence in Islamic Boarding Schools, especially in Mazro'atul Fattah Al-Maliky Islamic Boarding School, Lamongan. This research is an analytical descriptive which uses primary data in the form of questionnaires. The independent variables studied were behavioral factors (hand washing and nail hygiene), environmental factors (latrines and clean water), other factors (knowledge, food, drink and psychological), while the dependent variable was the incidence of diarrhea. The result is behavioral and environmental factors are partially related to the incidence of diarrhea in students of the Mazro'atul Fattah Al-Maliky Islamic Boarding School which has a significance value of both (p < 0.05). Otherwise, knowledge, eating and drinking, and psychological factors have no influence on the incidence of diarrhea.  Keeping the environment clean and implementing good sanitation behaviour is very important in preventing the spread of diarrheal diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to support and develop the poskestren programme on clean and healthy living behaviour in Islamic boarding schools.
