In developing countries, diarrhea is a major cause of child mortality. Worldwide, there are 2.5 billion cases of diarrhea in children of elementary school age every year. Factors that cause diarrhea are influenced by the level of knowledge about the dangers of diarrhea, attitudes towards the threat of diarrhea, inadequate provision of clean water, water contaminated by feces, inadequate sanitation facilities, inadequate food places and hygiene. This study aims to determine the effect of the Diarrhea Board Game (DIBOGE) on students' knowledge and attitudes about diarrhea at SDN 79, Bengkulu City. This study is a quantitative study using the Action Research method and Pre-Experimental Design (Pre-test and post-test group design). The sample in this study were 38 respondents of grade III students of SDN 79, Bengkulu City, sampling using the simple random sampling technique analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. The results of the analysis of the average knowledge before the intervention were 40.00 after the intervention increased to 87.89. The average attitude before the intervention was 23.66 after the intervention increased to 36.13. The results of the p value = 0.000 (<0.05) which shows that there is an effect of DIBOGE on students' knowledge and attitudes about diarrhea at SDN 79 Bengkulu City. DIBOGE media can be used as a learning reference to provide health promotion about diarrhea in elementary school children to improve children's knowledge and attitudes about diarrhea.
