Diarrhea is a health condition that is a global problem and affects millions of people worldwide every year. Muhammad Sani Hospital is the only referral hospital in Karimun Regency with diarrhea cases that increase every year. This study aims to determine the relationship between maternal knowledge about diarrhea and the level of dehydration in toddlers in the gardenia room of Muhammad Sani Hospital in 2024. This study uses a quantitative approach with a correlation study design. The population of this study was all mothers with toddlers who suffered in the gardenia room of Muhammad Sani Hospital and samples were taken using Purposive Sampling with a total of 58 respondents. Data collection tools use questionnaires and medical records. The results of the study were analyzed by the Chi-square statistical test. The results of the study were obtained as many as 13 respondents with a good level of knowledge (22.41%), 18 respondents (31.03%) in the medium category, and 27 respondents (46.6%) in the low category. 21 cases (36.21%) experienced mild degree dehydration, 30 (51.72%) degree of severe dehydration (12.07%). The results of the Chis-square statistical test obtained a p-value of 0.039<0.05, meaning that there was a relationship between maternal knowledge about diarrhea and the level of dehydration in toddlers in the gardenia room of Muhammad Sani Hospital. It is hoped that future researchers will be able to conduct research with a wider sample.
