Abstract

Helminth infection remains a health problem among children, particularly toddlers, due to inadequate hygiene and sanitation practices. This community service activity aimed to strengthen mothers’ knowledge and awareness regarding helminth infection prevention among toddlers through health education and in-depth discussions conducted at Posyandu Kemuning A in the Ratu Jaya Community Health Center area, Depok. This community service activity involved health education on helminth infection prevention for four mothers of toddlers through interactive sessions and in-depth discussions conducted in December 2025. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings showed that most mothers had implemented clean and healthy living behaviors in their children, including toilet use, handwashing, footwear use, nail hygiene, and administration of deworming medication. However, these practices were not carried out consistently, particularly handwashing and washing feet with soap after outdoor activities. Mothers’ knowledge regarding soil-transmitted helminth infections and the appropriate timing for administering deworming medication to toddlers was still limited. Mothers play an important role in shaping children’s hygiene behaviors. The activity helped identify and improve mothers’ knowledge on helminth infection prevention.
