“…The overall slippage rate reaches to 27.6% in ODF Sub-districts when observable feces in the compound are added. The nding was similar with the study done in Ethiopia Sidama Zone (25%) [22], and in India (21%) [16]. The study also revealed that 272 (38.2%) households in the study at least one household member practice open defecation which is higher than the national average reported by EDHS and JMP country report [5,6].…”

“…In this regard, Ethiopia began to adopt a Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach which concentrates on empowering local people to analyze the extent and risk of OD and aimed at creating open defecation free (ODF) community [14][15]. Nonetheless, as in other countries such as India and Kenya [16][17], the effect of open defecation free status on diarrheal disease was not yet well explored in Ethiopia. It is hypothesized that ODF status will have signi cant statistical association with diarrheal morbidity.…”

Background: Diarrheal disease remains one of the leading killers of children around the world. Most cases of diarrhea spread in settings with poor hygiene and lack of access to clean drinking water and sanitation. In Ethiopia, diarrheal disease is more common and kills almost fifteen thousand under-five children in year 2016. Therefore, this study determined diarrheal morbidity among under five children and its association with open defecation free status.Methods: A community-based comparative cross-sectional study was conducted on 732 households that had at least one under-five children. Multistage sampling technique was used to select households. Informed verbal consent was obtained from study participant. Multivariable logistic regression was performed to identify factors associated with diarrheal morbidity among under five children. Odd ratios with 95% confidence interval were reported and p-value of <0.05 was considered as statistical significance. Results: A total of 709 mothers or caregivers of under-five children were interviewed making the response rate 97%. The past two-week diarrhea morbidity in the study area was 20.2%. Multivariable analysis showed that unsanitary disposal of children`s feces (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]= 2.68, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.66, 4.30), exclusive breast feeding (AOR=0.43 [0.26, 0.71), mother not attend formal education (AOR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.18, 3.15) and child age (AOR=1.93, 95% CI: 1.04. 3.57) were significantly associated with diarrheal disease. Conversely, there is no association between open defecation free status and childhood diarrhea among under-five children (AOR=0.89, 95% CI: 0.55, 1.44).Conclusions: The prevalence of diarrhea was slightly higher among children from non-open defecation free households when compared to children living in open defecation free households. However, open defecation free status was not significantly associated with diarrhea morbidity during multivariable logistic analysis.

Introduction: The ODF (open defecation free) village to realize a healthy environment in preventing diarrheal diseases.This study aims to. Local government support is very important to accelerate the increase in the number of ODF village coverage. The purpose of this study is to find out the efforts of the regional government to realize the ODF village. This type of research is descriptive, using secondary data obtained and interviews. Research sites in Muaro Jambi, Sumedang and West Lombok Regencies, 2016. ODF villages have progressed along with increasing government support and community participation in encouraging stop open defecation free (SODF). The coverage of SODF people in 2016 in Muaro Jambi Regency was 78.07%, in Sumedang Regency 79.53%, and in West Lombok Regency 85.16%. Innovations to accelerate the realization of ODF villages include regulations, giving prizes, cooperating with NGOs and local entrepreneurs to make sanitation shops and sanitation savings and credit cooperatives, and providing punishment for people who break the agreement to stop defecating. The support of the local government by making innovative activities has accelerated the increase in the coverage of ODF villages in each district. Local government support and community participation are very important to realize the ODF village. ABSTRAK Program desa ODF (open defication free) untuk mewujudkan lingkungan sehat dalam mencegah penyakit diare. Dukungan pemerintah daerah sangat penting untuk percepatan peningkatan jumlah cakupan desa ODF. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui upaya pemerintah daerah untuk menwujudkan desa ODF. Jenis penelitian diskriptif, menggunakan data sekunder diperoleh dan wawancara. Lokasi penelitian di Kabupaten Muaro Jambi, Sumedang dan Lombok Barat, tahun 2016. Terdapat kemajuan desa ODF seiring dengan meningkatnya dukungan pemerintah dan peran serta masyarakat menggalakkan stop buang air besar sembarangan (SBS). Cakupan masyarakat SBS tahun 2016 di Kabupaten Muaro Jambi 78,07%, di Kabupaten Sumedang 79,53%, dan di Kabupaten Lombok Barat 85,16%. Inovasi untuk percepatan mewujudkan desa ODF diantaranya menerbitkan regulasi, pemberian hadiah, kerja sama dengan LSM dan pengusaha lokal membuat toko sanitasi dan koperasi simpan pinjam sanitasi, dan memberikan sangsi bagi masyarakat yang melanggar kesepakatan stop buang air besar. Adanya dukungan pemerintah daerah dengan membuat kegiatan inovatif , telah mempercepat peningkatan cakupan desa ODF disetiap kabupaten. Dukungan pemerintah daerah dan peran serta masyarakat sangat penting untuk mewujudkan desa ODF.

“…Despite the pervasive belief that child faeces are safe , unsafe disposal of child faeces increases exposure to faecal pathogens in the domestic environment . Infants and young children in LMIC are particularly vulnerable to microbial contamination in their environment through childhood mouthing behaviours during their exploratory stage of development and through contaminated outdoor play spaces .…”

Abstractobjectives To review and synthesise the available evidence on the effectiveness of interventions targeting unsafe child faeces disposal in reducing this behaviour and improving child health in lowand middle-income countries.methods PubMed and EMBASE were systematically searched. Studies meeting the inclusion criteria were reviewed and key information on study methodologies and outcomes were extracted.results A total of 1048 articles were screened, and eight studies representing five countries were included for the review. Three were randomised controlled trials, and five were prospective cohort studies. There was wide variability across studies in the definition of 'safe disposal' of child faeces. Six studies reported the change in child faeces disposal practices associated with safe child faeces disposal interventions. However, only one study found a significant improvement in this behaviour. Two of the six studies that evaluated the health impact of delivered interventions found significant reductions in childhood diarrhoea associated with safe faeces disposal practices, and one study reported a positive effect on child growth and ascariasis. Only one study was identified that delivered a single intervention solely focused on safe child faeces disposal. Unfortunately, this study did not investigate the impact of this intervention on child health.conclusions There are major methodological limitations in studies that assessed the impact of safe child faeces disposal interventions. The health impact of these interventions is inconclusive because the quality of the current evidence is poor. Randomised controlled trials are urgently needed to assess the impact of safe faeces disposal interventions on child health.
