Counseling on Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is an activity to convey health messages to the community, groups or individuals in the hope of gaining knowledge about better health, which in the end this knowledge can change the behavior of the community itself. Diarrhea is a disease that occurs due to bad habits of the community, and the most severe risk factor for this disease is death. This study aims to determine the effect of PHBS counseling on changes in people's behavior to prevent diarrhea. This research is a pre-experimental study with one group pretest-posttest design. The pretest is the observation of public health behavior to prevent diarrhea before PHBS counseling, the treatment is in the form of PHBS counseling to the community, while the posttest is the observation of public health behavior to prevent diarrhea after PHBS counseling. Participants as extension subjects came from Waworada, Sie Village, Bima City - Indonesia. The number of participants was 64 people with various characteristics ranging from gender, age, and education. Health behavior was measured using a questionnaire that was conducted to the participants. Each behavioral data was analyzed descriptively and statistically (using paired t-test). The results of the study have shown that the initial observation, before PHBS counseling, most of the people behaved "enough" in preventing diarrheal diseases. After the implementation of PHBS counseling, most of the people behaved "good". That is, descriptively people's behavior changes in preventing diarrheal diseases with PHBS counseling. Statistically, this behavior change was tested and it was found that there was an effect of PHBS counseling on people's behavior to prevent diarrhea (p 0.000 < 0.05). It is hoped that the results of this study can provide empirical evidence, so that the inculcation of health knowledge through counseling can continue to be carried out in a structured manner to the wider community.
