Abstract

Background: The number of larva free index in Dwikora in 2016 was >43.5% which is still far below national standard, i.e., 95% with some dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) case obtained over the last two years was 16 cases. The study objective was to determine the relationship of community behavior in controlling the mosquito habitat with the presence of Aedes aegypti larvae in Dwikora. Methods: This research was an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population in the present study was the patriarch or head of household residing at Dwikora sub-district, the total number of households was 452. By employing purposive sampling technique, 82 households were selected as samples. The data was collected by using the observation sheet and standardized questionnaire. Univariate and bivariate tests were performed for data analysis. Results: The results showed that there were 44 households which had less practice in mosquito habitat control, 48 households had a positive attitude, and 38 households had good knowledge. Bivariate analysis using chi-square test showed that there was a significant correlation between the household practice (p-value = 0.01) with the presence of Aedes aegypti larvae in Dwikora. Conclusion: It may indicate that the communities in Dwikora carry out less control over the existence of Aedes aegypti larvae at their houses. Therefore, it is suggested for the households to pay more attention to house cleanliness, to always use a closed bucket, apply abate to stagnant water and eradicate mosquito habitats periodically to avoid the occurrence of transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF)

Abstract

Background: Nowadays, female workers are vulnerable to workplace hazards. One of the groups who are highly vulnerable to the exposure of workplace hazards is female waste pickers. This study focused on breathing problems in female waste collectors. The present study aimed to determine the effect of work behavior and work environment on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. Methods: It was a cross sectional study in which the independent variables were work behavior and work environment, while the dependent variable was health complaints, respiratory complaints in particular. Work behavior was measured by collecting the data of protective mask use, while the data of work environment was collected by exploring the concentration level of CH4 and H2S at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. A total of 53 female waste pickers were participated as research sample. The data was analyzed by performing multiple linear regression calculation. Conclusion: It was obtained that there was an effect of work behavior (p=0.047) and concentration level of CH4 (p= 0.000) on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill. However, it was found that H­2S concentration level did not have an effect on respiratory complaints in female waste pickers at Terjun Landfill in Medan City. This study suggests that Sanitary and Park Office of Medan City can work together with related stakeholders to cultivate methane emissions (C­­H4) to become energy source to reduce air pollution at waste landfill, whereas to female waste collectors, this study suggests that they can regularly use protective mask to minimize the risk of hazardous gas at workplace.
