Abstract

Background & objectives: Environmental risk factors, both physical and biological (e.g. ecology of vegetation/plants, forest), equally serve as the risk factors for Anopheles mosquitos breeding. This study was designed to determine a model of spatial mapping for the ecology of vegetation and the potential habitats for the Anopheles mosquitos. Methods: Descriptive epidemiological research was employed to carry out the project, supported with a cross-sectional design. The research took place in Kupang regency, Oesao village, lasting for 2 months from October to November 2014. The ecology of the vegetation and all habitats of the mosquitos in Oesao village were regarded as the population of the research. They were purposively sampled. Results: The vegetation mapping revealed that the land area for rice fields is 169 ha, coconut and banana tress 56.68 ha, maize 67.03 ha, vegetable plants 59.53 ha, forages 21.52 ha, and forests 16.24 ha. The results of the mapping also revealed that the mosquitos breeding sites entail paddy fields, swamps, irrigation channels, and damps. Interpretation & conclution: The ecology of all types of plants mapped serves as potential habitats for the Anopheles mosquitos breeding sites. Plant ecology is quite varied in the Oesao Village, as well as extensive areas of the plant that are closely linked to inadequate growth and development of mosquitoes  and  specific species of Anopheles,  An. vagus and An. annularis.

Abstract

Introduction: The number of dengue cases in the city of Kupang was quite high when compared to previous years. Number of deaths due to dengue fever was also considered high. When compared between the months of January, February and March 2012 with January, February and March of 2011, there was an epidemiologically significant increase in cases (the increase was higher than 2-fold). In epidemiological sense, this situation was considered as dengue outbreak or extraordinary event.Objectives: To calculate and investigate mosquito larval density (density rate), incidence rate, case fatality rate (CFR), and water storage system in community.Methods: This research was a descriptive survey study using a cross sectional design.The size of samples to be studied was 300 samples allocated evenly to the 10 kelurahan (urban villages), including Bakunase, Kuanino, Bonipoi, Nunhila, Oetete, Sikumana, TDM, Pasir Panjang, Penfui, and Kelapa Lima.Results: The mosquito larval density in Kupang consisting of CI = 39.80%, HI = 67%, BI = 1.97 and LFI (larva free index) = 33%. Incidence Rate (IR) =0.3% and Case Fatality Rate (CFR)= 1.2%. Types of containers used here were Drum, water tanks, Jars/buckets/pot, and others (kettles, jerrycans, cooking pots). The majority of containers used were drums. Water storage duration was on average 3-7 days.Conclusion: The density of larvae in the city is quite high based on CI, HI, BI, and LFI. Themortality rate (CFR) is far in excess of the national standard, where it is directly proportional to the density of Aedes larvae. The drumis themost commonly container used. Water distribution systemfromthe PDAMof the Kupang city constitutes amajor factor causing people to store water for a long time.Keywords: larval density, Incidence Rate, CFR, water storage system

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.

Abstract

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) is an infectious disease that attacks toddlers, children, and adults that occurs in the respiratory tract and is mostly a viral infection. One of the factors causing ARI is the physical condition of the house. The purpose of this study was to determine the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers in Tunbaun Village, West Amarasi District, Kupang Regency. This descriptive study was conducted by surveying the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers. The sample was 99 houses of ARI sufferers in Nunbaun Village in 2022. The research variables were lighting, ventilation, humidity, flooring, occupancy density, and temperature. This study found that the physical condition of the houses of ARI sufferers, the lighting variable, 21 houses (21%) met the requirements, and 78 houses (79%) did not meet the requirements. The ventilation variable, 68 houses (69%) met the requirements and 31 houses (31%) did not meet the requirements. The humidity variable, 38 houses (38%) met the requirements, and 61 houses (62%) did not meet the requirements. The floor condition variable met the requirements in 43 houses (43%), and did not meet the requirements in 56 houses (57%). Regarding the density of bedrooms of patients, 79 houses (80%) met the requirements, and 20 houses (20%) did not meet the requirements. The temperature variable was 11 houses (11%) met the requirements and 88 houses (89%) did not meet the requirements. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended that house floors are not made of earth, and cement floors must also be regularly cleaned. Residents should open windows to ensure optimum humidity and provide artificial ventilation.

Abstract

Kupang City has the highest Incidence of DHF in East Nusa Tenggara and also higher than the national figure. This study aims to analyze the relationship between housing conditions and the DHF incidence in the Kupang City. This observational study uses a case-control study in 25 villages with a total sample of 500 people. Data is analyzed using t test and chi square test. The house conditions were significantly related to the DHF incidence (p≤0.05), namely house lighting, water usage, wall construction, ventilation area and ownership of clean water facilities. People are advised to ventilate the house ≥10% of the floor area and often open the house ventilation as a place for air exchange and for entering the light into the house. Construction of the wall is expected to be repaired to be more permanent or close the open part so not as a mosquitoes path into the house. The government is advised to increase access to clean water for the community and promote to always clean water reservoirs and not hold water for a long time.

Abstract

Questionnaires are a data collection method that is widely used in health research. Nowadays, the validity test that is often used to assess the quality of questionnaires is the item-total correlation test. This study aims to introduce another method that is often said to be better by experts, namely factor analysis. When compared with item-total correlation analysis, factor analysis has the advantages of: 1) it can reveal the latent structure of the variables being measured; 2) can capture multivariate variations; 3) can test construct validity, namely whether the questionnaire is able to measure concepts or constructs theoretically; 4) can determine how many factors are needed to explain the variance in the data. It was concluded that taking into account its advantages, factor analysis is the best choice for testing the validity of questionnaires in health research.
