THE IMPLEMENTATION AND SUCCESS OF TOILET TRAINING IN TODDLERS AT HAURKUNING INTEGRATED HEALTH POST IN HAURKOLOT VILLAGE OF INDRAMAYU REGENCY

Toilet training is a crucial developmental milestone for toddlers, fostering
independence and self-regulation. Failure in this process may affect both the psychological
and physical well-being of the child. This study aimed to examine the relationship of the
implementation of toilet training and its success among toddlers at Haurkuning Integrated
Health Post in Haurkolot Village, Indramayu Regency.
A cross-sectional research design was applied, utilizing total sampling with 30
respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire that assessed the implementation
and outcomes of toilet training. The results were analyzed using the Chi-Square test.
The findings revealed that 90% of parents implemented toilet training
appropriately, and 66.7% of toddlers were successfully toilet trained. The Chi-Square
analysis demonstrated a significant relationship of the implementation and success of toilet
training (p = 0.030). These results suggest that proper implementation of toilet training is
strongly associated with a toddler’s ability to control urination and defecation. Therefore,
educating parents on effective toilet training techniques is essential to support the
development of early childhood independence.
In conclusion, the majority of parents (90%) successfully implemented toilet
training, and 66.7% of toddlers achieved independence in toileting. A statistically
significant relationship exists between the implementation of toilet training and its success
(p = 0.030). The success of toilet training is influenced by factors such as child readiness,
parental knowledge, and parenting practices. Enhanced education for parents through
health counseling and support from healthcare professionals is recommended.
