Pemanfaatan Perangkat Digital dalam Menumbuhkan Kesadaran Kesehatan Anak Usia Dini

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the optimisation of early childhood health education through the use of digital devices at RA Nurul Huda Bawu. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, utilising data collection techniques such as observation, interviews and documentation. The research subjects comprised 15 children aged 5–6 years. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the studyindicate that the use of digital devices such as educational videos, laptops, and projectors is capable of enhancing children’s health understanding and awareness through the presentation of material that is visual, interactive, and easy to understand. Specifically, behavioural changes were observed in the children, such as being able to practise correct handwashing techniques, maintaining personal hygiene, covering their mouths when coughing or sneezing, bringing healthy packed lunches, and participating enthusiastically in physical activities. The children also began to understand basic health concepts, such as the importance of immunisation, dental hygiene, and bodily privacy boundaries.
