Abstract

Jember Regency is the 2nd Regency after Surabaya City in finding the highest number of TB cases in East Java Province, with 5,244 adult cases and 478 pediatric TB cases found. Finding TB cases in children is an important component in controlling TB because the number of children aged less than 14 years constitutes 12% of the population. The government's efforts to control childhood TB by providing TPT (TPT) as an effort to strengthen the management of latent tuberculosis infection (ILTB) are still low. Toddlers in close contact with Drug Sensitive Tuberculosis (TB SO) are a group at risk of being infected with TB so they need to get TPT. This study aims to determine and analyze the driving factors, enabling factors, reinforcing factors and the role of the Medication Supervisor (PMO) on medication adherence in the TPT program for toddlers in close contact with TB in Jember Regency. The method in this research uses the Explanatory Research type, which is a type of research that aims to analyze the relationship or influence between variables through hypothesis testing. The results of this research indicate that the success factors of the TPT administration program, namely driving factors, enabling factors, reinforcing factors and the role of the Medication Supervisor (PMO) are proven to influence medication adherence in the TPT administration program for toddlers in close contact. It’s known that the factors contributed mainly to the successness of Tuberculosis Prevention Therapy are family’s support and the rile of the the Medication Supervisor (PMO).

Abstract

Introduction: Tinea unguium is a nail infection caused by dermatophytes, characterized by nail discoloration, thickening, and brittleness. Farmers, often exposed to prolonged wet conditions, are at higher risk of this infection. The use of appropriate footwear is recommended to mitigate this risk. However, inadequate personal protective equipment (PPE) usage makes farmers more susceptible to Tinea unguium. Research on Tinea unguium among farmers in Lojejer Village is limited, with differing result on the link between wearing footwear as PPE and the occurance of Tinea unguium. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between the use of footwear as PPE and the incidence of Tinea unguium among farmers in Lojejer Village. Methods: This study uses a cross-sectional observational design. It involved 98 respondents determined using Slovin’s formula. Data were collected through interviews and nail samples, which were subjected to fungal culture on sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA) medium and microscopic examination with lactophenol cotton blue staining. Fisher’s Exact tests were used for analysis. Results: Results revealed that seven farmers (7.14%) were affected by Tinea unguium, predominantly males (85.8%) aged 45–64 years (57.1%). Trichophyton rubrum was identified as the primary dermatophyte, with Aspergillus sp. as a contaminant. Statistical analysis showed no significant relationship between footwear usage, personal hygiene, or footwear hygiene and Tinea unguium (p-values > 0.05). Conclusion: The study found no significant association between footwear use, hpersonal hygiene, and footwear hygiene with Tinea unguium incidence among farmers in Lojejer Village
