Abstract

Parasitic infections are reported in the most recent years as the disease infected among the refugees from countries with war conflict in Asia and Africa. Several factors have reported as causative agents and routes of transmission of the disease. The objective of the study was to provide epidemiological data of parasitic infections among the UNHCR refugees with some aspects of socio-behavioral and medical history as risk factor to the disease. The design of the study was cross-sectional with a total sampling of the refugees visiting the Puskesmas Pisangan, Ciputat, South Tangerang. We conducted blood diff-count, microscopic examination, and rapid diagnostic tests for the blood; feces by microscopic;while for urine was assayed by dipstick and bacterial culture. The study revealed that there were evidences of parasitic infections in : one patient with positive malaria vivax, one positive patient with non-specific bacteria in urine and with an increased number of leucocyte in the blood (Leucocytosis), also two subjects with higher titer of thrombocyte in their blood (thrombocytosis). Meanwhile, the medical history and transmission profile of the diseases, cultural, social behavior, and other related risk factors to the diseases have shown no strong evidence as a potential disease’s transmission of the parasite from the refugees to their indigenous community.The study has concluded that the evidence of parasitic infections might be at risk of disease’s transmission and should be prevented by a proper response of health services.

Abstract

Introduction: The prevalence of personal hygiene behavior in the Riau community in 2018 remains below 39.9%. Therefore, this study aims to identify the determinants of personal hygiene in preventing Covid19 among the residents of Bengkalis Regency, Riau. Methods: Data was collected online in March 2021 from 214 respondents regarding their age, gender, educational history, personal hygiene, infrastructure, accessibility, information exposure, family support, social support, and level of knowledge. The descriptive quantitative study was used with a cross-sectional design and the Chi-square test. Results and Discussion: The results showed that from 214 respondents, those with good and poor personal hygiene are 139 (65%) and 75 (35%) individuals, respectively. The factors that have a statistical relationship with personal hygiene (p<0.05) are age, gender, infrastructure, accessibility, information exposure, family support, and social support, with p-values of 0.000, 0.005, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, 0.000, and 0.000, respectively. Meanwhile, variables of knowledge and educational history with p values of 0.664 and 0.810, respectively, were not statistically related. Conclusion: Efforts to promote personal hygiene for the prevention of the pandemic include health worker education on Covid19 information, especially the risk factors and how to correctly use masks.
