IV. DISCUSSION
The results using chi-square test showed there is
relationship between knowledge with behavior of open
defecation, because the p-value <0.05. Behavior of defecation is
the practice of a person associated with the activities includes
excreta disposal, disposal of feces and fecal management of a
qualified health and how healthy bowel movements so as not to
cause adverse health effects (Widowati et al, 2015).
In the results, the majority of respondents (63.8%) had low
knowledge and 95.5% of them had defecation behavior. While
people who have the knowledge of the high category behave
defecation in the toilet, but there are also people who are
knowledgeable are still high behavior of open defecation which
have latrines but flowed into the pond. This shows the
knowledge factors as variables related to the behavior of open
defecation.
Based on Table 2, it appears that knowledge has a high
percentage of open defecation behavior dijamban larger than
knowledgeable respondents were low and statistically significant
relationship between knowledge and behavior of open
defecation. On the results of research knowledge variable, the
average low knowledge of public knowledge that this is
attributable to the lack of knowledge and information society in a
healthy family latrine utilization while also people still behave
open defecation in the pond / pool, river, and passengers
The results are consistent with research Tarin 2008 about
the factors that affect the family's participation in the use of
latrines in Kabanjahe City in 2007 which showed that factors
related to family participation in latrine use that knowledge (p =
0.000). This is also supported by Triyono, the higher the
knowledge of the behavior of open defecation would be lower
According to Irawan in 2013 were minimal knowledge
about health also reinforces the behavior. The pattern of behavior
of citizens is indented on the pattern of public behavior which is
pathogenic, or people who are socially deviant. This behavior
resulted directly / indirectly to the contamination of drinking
water sources and pollution of the (recontamination) on the
source of water and food eaten at home. The practice of open
defecation defecation translated into any place and let the stool in
the open. Though sanitation and health behavior will reduce the
incidence of diseases transmitted through water, as well as
providing social benefits, environmental, and economic
significance (Health Ministry of RI, 2008).
According to Notoatmodjo 2007, which are cognitive
knowledge domain is very important for the formation of an
action. The action is based on the knowledge will be more lasting
than the behaviors that are not based on respondents' awareness
of the importance of having a family latrine at home. The
knowledge discussed in this study is about the use of toilet a
family at home. Knowledge is closely related to a person's
actions in this case, knowledge about the use of toilet family
home will greatly influence the behavior in choosing
