ABSTRACT: The World Health
Organization (WHO) in 2012 reveals that there are 11 conditions that cause the
death of children aged under five years old in Indonesia. One of those
conditions is diarrhea. It has claimed the lives of around 6% of the total
number of children in Indonesia. The most important thing in diarrheal disease management
is preventive efforts. In delivering health promotion for preschool children,
we should take into account the health promotion method. It should be
interesting and interactive, for example using such singing and handwashing
dance methods. This research aimed at comparing the effectiveness of
handwashing with singing method versus handwashing dance among preschool
children to improve their knowledge regarding handwashing technique. This
research was a quantitative research using quasy experiment by employing a
Nonequivalent Control Group Design. In total, 74 people (38 person in singing
method group and 36 people in handwashing dance group) were selected in this
study according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data were collected using
observation sheets hand washing techniques. Based on non parametric
Mann-Whitney test, it was found that the value of Asymp. Sig (2-tailed) was
under the 0.05. It can be inferred that there is a meaningful difference in handwashing
techniques knowledge using a singing method compared with a handwashing dance,
where the average value of an increased score before and after intervention
handwashing dance is higher compared to the singing methods namely 54,71 versus
21.20. Then it can be concluded that the handwashing intervention dance is more
effective in improving the knowledge of hand washing technique among the
peschool children in PAUD TK Pra Widyalaya Gurukula and PAUD Negeri Pembina
Bangli.
