Abstract

Dengue fever (DHF) is a significant health problem in tropical regions, including the working area of Puskesmas Moropelang, Lamongan. Data shows that DHF cases continue to be found in the period 2020-2023. This study aims to analyse the relationship between residential environmental sanitation and the incidence of DHF in the region in 2024. This study used a quantitative approach with an analytical observational design based on the case-control method. The study population was 148, with a total sample size of 74 cases and 74 controls. Independent variables included environmental conditions, water reservoirs, and larval density, while the dependent variable was dengue incidence. Data were analysed using the Chi-Square test. The results showed a significant association between environmental conditions (p=0.013), water storage conditions (p=0.003), and the number of free larvae (p=0.004) with the incidence of DHF. Respondents with poor home environmental conditions had a 2.3 times higher risk of DHF, while the risk increased to 2.7 times in poor water reservoirs, and 2.6 times in environments with high larval density. This study concluded that residential environmental sanitation plays an important role in the prevention of DHF. Weekly mosquito nest eradication efforts, community education, and regular monitoring of larvae are recommended to reduce the incidence of DHF and improve environmental health.

Abstract

Residual chlorine is a residue from the chemical compound chlorine, which is used as a disinfectant in swimming pool water. When in contact with the eyes, these chemicals can cause conjunctiva inflammation, known as conjunctivitis. Symptoms include redness, swelling, pain, and itching in the eyes. Research purposes analyzing the effect of residual chlorine content in swimming pool water on complaints of eye irritation in swimming club members. The type of research used is analytical observational with a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were visitors to swimming pools in the Surabaya area using purposive sampling. The data collection techniques were questionnaire sheets, observations, and laboratory results. Data analysis used the Spearman Correlation test. The results showed that water pH was a protective factor for residual chlorine in swimming pool water with a value of (PR < 1), and Alkalinity was a protective factor for residual chlorine in swimming pool water with a value of (PR < 1). There was no influence of residual chlorine on complaints of eye irritation with a value (pv = 0.602). It is recommended that swimming pool managers install information boards that guide swimming pool cleanliness and ethics. They have added soda ash to stabilize the pH. Future researchers can examine other factors that influence complaints of eye irritation and residual chlorine content.

Abstract

Leprosy is still a health problem in the Guluk-Guluk District. Factors that contribute to the increase in leprosy cases are home sanitation and personal hygiene. House sanitation that does not meet the requirements creates a conducive environment for leprosy bacteria, and inadequate personal hygiene increases the risk of leprosy transmission. This research aims to analyze the relationship between home sanitation and personal hygiene and the incidence of leprosy. This research uses a case-control design. The independent variables are home sanitation and personal hygiene, while the dependent variable is the incidence of leprosy. Data collection is done through interviews, observation, and measurement. The samples used were 30 case samples and 30 control samples. The research location is in the Guluk-Guluk Health Center Working Area. The research time is January - June 2024. Sampling used a simple random sampling technique via lottery. Data were analyzed using chi-square and odds ratio tests. The results show a relationship between house sanitation, ceilings, floors, ventilation, personal hygiene, cleanliness of hands and feet, and the incidence of leprosy. There is no relationship between temperature, humidity, and bed cleanliness with the incidence of leprosy.
