THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN IMPLEMENTING A CLEAN AND HEALTHY LIFESTYLE IN THE SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT

Abstract

Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) is a community service activity aimed at improving health levels, especially for students in Elementary Schools . PHBS taught at an early age is very necessary to instill awareness of the importance of maintaining cleanliness as a way to maintain and improve health for oneself and the environment, especially in the school area. This Community Service aims to provide understanding and skills related to PHBS material to students of SDN 08/X Suka Maju. In this activity, several appropriate methods will be applied to achieve the objectives, including delivering material, mentoring, independent practice related to PHBS, namely how to wash hands properly and correctly, and providing simple facilities. The results achieved in this activity include an increase in students' knowledge of implementing a clean and healthy lifestyle and the availability of simple hand washing facilities so that students can wash their hands in running water easily.
