Environmental-based diseases such as diarrhea occur due to a lack of hygiene and hand-washing skills in children. The ability to wash hands well and correctly has been proven effective in preventing diarrhea. The low ability to wash hands in children must be overcome with various interesting educational methods. This research aims to determine the effectiveness of hand-washing education using the storytelling method using cheerful gloves on the hand-washing ability of children with diarrhea. This research uses a quasi-experimental method with a one-group pre-test & post-test design approach. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, and 31 school-age respondents participated. Interventions are provided by following WHO standard hand washing SOPs. Each respondent received education 3 times a day for 3 consecutive days. Data collection on hand-washing ability was assessed and observed using an observation sheet. Data analysis used the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test statistical test. The research results show effectiveness in providing hand washing education using the storytelling method using cheerful gloves on the ability to wash hands in children suffering from diarrhea with a p-value of 0.000. It is hoped that nurses can apply the storytelling method using cheerful gloves to increase the motivation and ability to wash the hands of children with diarrhea.
