Relationship of Socio-Demographics with Childhood Diarrhea in Lampung Province (2017 SDKI Data) ABSTRACT Infants aged 6-23 months experience the highest mortality due to diarrhea, with a diarrhea prevalence of 11.0% among infants in 2018, significantly higher than the 2.4% in 2013 (SDKI, 2017). The Basic Health Survey of 2018 revealed that diarrhea prevalence across all age groups was 8%, with rates of 12.3% among young children and 10.6% among infants, impacting 20% of the affected population. Approximately 3,176,079 individuals sought medical treatment for diarrhea at healthcare facilities, and in 2017, 4,270,790 individuals sought medical attention or 60.4% of the estimated total diarrhea cases. Diarrhea prevalence in Indonesia stands at 270 cases per 1,000 individuals of all ages (Rapid Survey Diarrhea 2015).The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between socio-demographic factors (maternal education, place of residence, and wealth quintile) and the occurrence of diarrhea in children. This study employs a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The population comprises all children aged 6-59 months in Lampung Province, totaling 413 respondents, with a sample size of 380. The results of the data analysis on the relationship between socio-demographic characteristics of respondents and diarrhea incidence revealed a significant correlation with maternal education (p = 0.048, p < 0.005). However, the study showed no significant relationship between place of residence and diarrhea occurrence (p = 0.87, p > 0.05), as well as between wealth quintile and diarrhea occurrence (p = 0.25, p > 0.05).
