Apart from personal hygiene issues, one of the risks of health problems that can cause growth and development problems for Kindergarten-aged children is nutrition. It is important for child development deviations to be detected early so that it can be quickly corrected for subsequent age development. Anthropometrically, assessing the nutritional status of school-age children can use the weight and height. A tool for monitoring the development of nutritional status of kindergarten children is Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Every child who is measured for height can immediately know their nutritional status. This study looked at a description of hand washing behavior, developmental deviations and stunting detection in kindergarten children.Purpose To assess hand washing behavior, developmental deviation and stunting detection in kindergarten children through KMS monitoring.Methods: The type of research used in this research was descriptive research. The research method used was a survey with a cross sectional approach. A total of 29 kindergarten children were assessed for hand washing behavior using WHO guidelines and assessed for stunting status using KMS Dinding.Results: The results of the study were mostly boys (51.7%) with ages 2 - 4 years, which is 62.1%. The results of the practice of washing children's hands using hand washing guidelines from the WHO obtained data as much as 21 children (75%) had been implemented well (6 - 7 steps) and less well by 7.1%. Early detection of child deviations using the Developmental Pre-Screening Questionnaire was 16 children (55.2%) according to development, but there were 9 children (31%) doubting results and 4 children (13.8%) likely to experience deviations. The results of measurements using KMS Dinding in kindergarten showed that there were 6.9% of children's measurement results in yellow, light green 86.2% and dark green of 6.9%. Conclusion: KMS Dinding can detect stunting in kindergarten children, there are children who may experience deviations and most children have washed their hands properly according to WHO guidelinesSuggestion provide motivation for students to get used to washing hands using soap in the school and home environment, in order to prevent diseases caused by dirty hands. The school is expected to continue to carry out early detection of children's growth and development so that improvements can be made immediately if a deviation is found in the child's growth and development Keywords: Hand Washing, Developmental Deviation, Nutritional Status ABSTRAK Latar Belakang: Anak usia sekolah merupakan kelompok usia yang kritis karena pada usia tersebut rentan terkena masalah kesehatan terkait personal hygiene misalnya diare, sakit gigi, penyakit kulit dan sebagainya.

Penyimpangan perkembangan anak penting untuk dideteksi secara dini agar dapat dengan cepat dilakukan koreksi terhadap perkembangan usia selanjutnya . Secara antropometri penilaian status gizi anak usia sekolah dapat menggunakan indeks Berat Badan (BB) dan Tinggi Badan (TB). Alat untuk memantau perkembangan status gizi anak TK adalah Kartu Menuju Sehat (KMS). Setiap anak yang diukur TB dapat segera diketahui status gizinya. Penelitian ini melihat gambaran perilaku cuci tangan, penyimpangan perkembangan dan deteksi stunting pada anak taman kanak-kanak.Tujuan: Menilai perilaku cuci tangan, peyimpangan perkembangan dan deteksi stunting pada anak taman kanak-kanak melalui pemantauan KMS.Metode: Jenis penelitian yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah jenis penelitian deskriptif.

Aims: The study aimed at determining the prevalence and risk factors for intestinal helminth infection among school-age children in Calabar, Cross River State, Nigeria. Study Design: Cross-sectional observational study was conducted in two Local Government Areas (Calabar South and Calabar Municipality) in Calabar. Place and Duration of Study: The study was carried out in Calabar, from May to October, 2018. Methodology: Faecal samples were collected from pupils in sterile dry specimen bottles with the use of applicator sticks and analyzed using sedimentation and floatation techniques. Data obtained was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 21. Results: Overall prevalence of intestinal helminth was 18.5%. Parasites recovered were Ascaris lumbricoides (9.3%), Trichuris trichiura (4.0%), Hookworm (2.6%), Taenia solium (0.9), Enterobius vermicularis (0.9), Strongyloides stercoralis (0.4%) and Schistosoma mansoni (0.4%) (P = 0000). Males (22.1%) were more infected than females (14.0%) in the study area (P = 0.031). Prevalence of intestinal helminths was lowest in age group 11-15 years (14.4%) and highest in age group 6-10 years (23.5%) (P = 0.005). After multivariate analysis, source of water [OR=3.355, 95% CI 1.448 – 7.770], type of sewage system [OR=7.547, 95% CI 5.011 – 8.358], hand washing before meal [OR=4.069, 95% CI 1.719 – 9.631] and hand washing after defecation [OR=2.281, 95% CI 1.059 – 4.917] were statistically associated with the detected intestinal helminthic infections in faecal samples (p = .05). Conclusion: The presence of these intestinal parasites in these schools is a public health problem and there is therefore a need to prevent these infections by improving individual personal hygiene through health education, general sanitation and provision of adequate social amenities.
