“…Other research on open defecation shows that while open defecation is often considered a public health risk, it also has safety and dignity implications and can cause long-term negative effects on the psychosocial wellbeing of individuals engaged in these practices (Saleem et al, 2019). Girls and women are particularly at risk of verbal, physical and sexual abuse when practicing open defecation or managing menstruation in public spaces (Cherian and Sahu, 2016). Viewed in this way, open defecation is not just a violation of the human right to sanitation, but also gender discrimination and an infringement on human dignity (Saleem et al, 2019).…”

Access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) are human rights and play a fundamental role in protecting health, which has been particularly evident during the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) pandemic. People experiencing homelessness face frequent violations of their human rights to water and sanitation, negatively affecting their health and dignity and ability to protect themselves from COVID-19. This research aimed to identify barriers to safe water, sanitation and hygiene access for people experiencing homelessness in Mexico City during the COVID-19 pandemic. A survey of 101 respondents experiencing homelessness was conducted using mobile data collection tools in collaboration with El Caracol A.C., an NGO that contributes to the visibility and social inclusion of homeless people in Mexico. We report findings according to the following themes: general economic impacts of COVID-19; experiences with reduced access to WASH services due to COVID-19, challenges in accessing hand washing to follow COVID-19 public health advice; and coping mechanisms used to deal with reductions in access to WASH. We discuss the broader implications of the findings in terms of realization of the human rights to water and sanitation (HRtWS), and how people experiencing homelessness are left behind by the existing approaches to ensure universal access to water and sanitation under SDG 6.

Latar belakang: Indonesia, bahkan dunia masih memikili masalah kesehatan serius yaitu diare, kasusnya meningkat dari tahun 2016-2018. Distribusi kasus di Kabupaten Lampung Selatan terbanyak pada Desa Taman Sari Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Penengahan. STBM dinyatakan sebagai proyek yang dapat membawa perubahan besar terhadap kejadian diare. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui determinan diare berdasarkan pilar STBM.Metode: penelitian ini dilakukan dengan rancangan cross sectional. Populasi adalah penduduk Desa Taman Baru Kecamatan Penengahan Kabupaten Lampung Selatan berjumlah 267 kepala keluarga (KK), dan semuanya dijadikan objek penelitian. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dan pengamatan menggunakan instrumen yang merujuk pada instrumen Kemenkes RI. Data dianalisa secara bivariat dengan chi square. Pengolahan dan analisa data menggunakan program komputer.Hasil: masyarakat telah memiliki pengetahuan yang baik tentang STBM, akan tetapi belum diterapkan dengan benar. Pemaparan yang dilakukan petugas belum memberikan dampak terhadap penurunan angka diare. Hal ini dapat diasumsikan bahwa informasi yang disampaikan oleh petugas tidak sampai kepada masyarakat. Metoda penyampaian yang kurang tepat atau model pemberdayaan masyarakat yang kurang menyebabkan masyarakat tidak tergugah untuk melakukan perubahan perilaku hidup sehat.Simpulan: faktor dominan yang berhubungan dengan diare adalah penerapan pilar STBM. Perlu dilakukan strategi promosi kesehatan untuk penerapan pilar STBM dan peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat tentang pencegahan diare. Penelitian lanjutan dapat dilakukan berkaitan dengan model yang tepat dan efektif dalam penyampaian informasi kepada masyarakat dengan dukungan tokoh masyarakat. ABSTRACT Title: Determinants Of Diarrhea Based On Pillars Of Total Community-Based SanitationBackground: Diarrhea remains a health problem around the world, including in Indonesia. Cases increased from 2016 to 2018. The distribution of cases in South Lampung district is mainly in Taman Sari village, the working area of Puskesmas Penengah. STBM is considered a program that could make a big difference in diarrhea incidence. This study aimed to identify determinants of diarrhea according to the STBM pillars.Method: the research was conducted with a cross-sectional design. The population is 267 families who are residents of Taman Baru Village, and all of them are used as the research object. Data were collected through interviews and observations using instruments referencing the instruments of the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia. Data were analyzed by chi-square statistical test using a computer application.Result: research shows that people have good knowledge about STBM, but it has not been implemented properly. The officer's exposure has not had an impact on reducing diarrhea rates. It can be assumed that the information submitted by the officers did not reach the public. Inappropriate delivery methods or community empowerment models that are less likely to cause people to not be moved to make changes to healthy living behaviorConclusion: the dominant factor associated with diarrhea is the implementation of the STBM pillar. There is a need to implement health promotion strategies to implement the STBM pillars and increase public awareness of diarrhea prevention. With the support of community leaders, further research can be conducted on appropriate and effective modalities for providing information to the public.
