DETERMINASI PERILAKU HIDUP BERSIH DAN SEHAT (PHBS) DI LINGKUNGAN SEKOLAH DASAR

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determining factors of clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) in elementary school environments. PHBS is one of the key indicators in health promotion and preventive efforts, especially for school-age children who are in the formative stage of habit development. This research employs a library research method by reviewing various scientific literature, research reports, health policy documents, and relevant articles from national and international journals. The main focus of the analysis is directed at aspects such as knowledge, attitudes, supporting facilities, the role of teachers and parents, as well as health interventions provided by schools or community health centers. The findings show that the primary determinants for the successful implementation of PHBS in elementary schools include students’ basic health knowledge, positive attitudes toward hygiene, the availability of facilities such as clean toilets and handwashing stations, and ongoing support from teachers and parents. Educational and participatory interventions have proven effective in increasing students’ understanding and adherence to healthy living behaviors. Therefore, collaboration between schools, parents, and health professionals is essential to create a clean and healthy school environment that continuously fosters the development of healthy habits.
