Abstract

Infants and young children exhibit distinct skin characteristics compared to adults, characterized by thinness and heightened sensitivity, rendering them more susceptible to infection, inflammation, and allergies. Diaper rash, a common dermatological issue among this demographic, frequently affects skin regions covered by diapers. In 2019, the prevalence of diaper rash in Indonesia was recorded at 7–35%, predominantly impacting children under the age of 3. This study aims to determine the correlation between parental behavior in perianal care and the severity of diaper rash in children. Employing a quantitative research approach with a correlational design, the study involved a deliberate selection of 51 participants. Data collection was conducted through surveys and observational sheets. Statistical analysis revealed a significant correlation (p < 0.05) between parental perianal care practices and diaper rash severity. The findings underscore the importance for parents to possess the ability to adequately and effectively care for their child's skin to prevent diaper rash.
