Abstract

Hand Washing With Soap (HWWS) behavior is a simple thing that can be done to inhibit the transmission of disease from the source of infection. Not much is known with certainty about the determinants of community handwashing behavior as a basis for promoting handwashing behavior. The research aims to identify the various determinants of HWWS behavior in the rural community, the results of which can be considered for designing the promotion of HWWS behavior in rural community and economically vulnerable groups. A total of 52 villages as survey locations, interviews and observations were carried out on 168 household heads who were determined by purposive random sampling with the inclusion criteria of having toddlers, and the house is on the edge of a river / beach. Univariate data processing to describe the characteristics of respondents and bivariate analysis to describe the relationship between the various HWWS behavior variables. The results of the study showed that the majority of the community already had HWWS facilities and were around the house where they lived. Critical times for community hand washing behavior are when hands are dirty, after feeding livestock and before eating. There is no difference between the determinants of HWWS behavior with education and with household categories based on the number of repeaters. Health cadres and local health workers dominate the sources of information obtained by the community regarding HWWS behavior. The implication of the results of this study is that the promotion of HWWS behavior in the community needs to consider non-health messages such as HWWS carried out when hands are dirty, after feeding livestock and before eating. In addition to inhibiting the spread of diseases that are transmitted through hands, the goal of HWWS behavior is also. In addition, health cadres and health workers are very important as a channel for conveying education about HWWS behavior in the community, in addition to the use of social media.

Abstract

Malaria is caused by plasmodium transmitted through the bite of an infected female Anopheles. Indonesia, especially NTT Province, is endemic to malaria. Mata Air Village is located in the Tarus Health Center area of ​​Kupang Regency with a high total of cases in 2017, namely 502 patients. The purpose of this study was to identify the characteristics of the location of Anopheles larvae growth in Mata Air Village. This descriptive study describes the characteristics of the location of Anopheles larvae breeding in Mata Air Village. The variables studied include the type of breeding site, water temperature, water pH, water salinity, and density of larvae. The study sample included all locations that have the potential to be breeding sites for Anopheles larvae. The analysis was carried out descriptively to describe the characteristics of the Aedes growth location. The results showed that the most common habitat was swamps with a percentage of 21.43%, while the least common habitats were puddles, dry coconut residue, and livestock drink containers, each at 7.14%. The habitat types found consisted of permanent at 35.71% and temporary at 64.29%. The highest water temperature was recorded in the rice field habitat with a value of 30°C, while the lowest temperature was found in the remains of dry coconuts with a value of 26°C. The highest pH value in the rice fields reached 8, while the lowest pH value was found in used buckets, leftover dry coconuts, and leftover wheels, each of which was 6. The salinity value in all habitats was detected to be empty. The average density of high Anopheles larvae was found in dirty puddles with a value of around 2.7 per scoop, while no larvae were found in irrigation channels. With the discovery of Anopheles habitat in the swamp, it is recommended to consider fish farming in the swamp area or to fill the swamp, or to drain the swamp water to a lower area, so that it is hoped that there will be no more puddles and Anopheles larvae around the settlement.
