ABSTRACT

School-age children are very vulnerable to health problems, therefore awareness of the
importance of maintaining health needs to be instilled in them from an early age. The
health condition of children with problems can affect their learning outcomes. With
optimal health conditions, children will be able to excel in school and be involved in
social activities.

This study aims to determine the application of clean and healthy behavior by students
aged 8, 9, and 10 years old in Kelurahan Kwala Bekala, Linkungan XIII Medan, Medan
Johor District. This research is a descriptive study that examined 30 students as
research samples obtained through total sampling technique. Primary and secondary
data were collected through interviews and questionnaires. The data that have been
collected were then analyzed, processed, and presented in written form, processed
manually and then presented in tabular form.

The following are data from research on students aged 8, 9 and 10 years in Kelurahan
Kwala Bekala Lingkungan XIII Medan, Medan Johor District: 83.3% of respondents
have a level of knowledge in the good category about clean and healthy behavior,
36.6% of respondents have an attitude level in the category good, and 43.3% of
respondents have a level of action in the good category.

Clean and healthy behavior needs to be applied in schools to avoid various diseases.
To achieve this, community participation in the school environment is also very much
needed, including repairing damaged sanitation facilities, and collaboration with Health
Center and the Health Office.
