Abstract

Infection with Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) remains a public health issue among school-aged children in tropical areas. This study aims to analyze the relationship between Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) and the incidence of helminthiasis in Medan Marelan District. A quantitative observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted involving 320 elementary school children. Stool samples were examined using direct microscopy and sedimentation methods, while questionnaire interviews and environmental observations were used to assess PHBS indicators. The results showed a very low prevalence of helminthiasis at 0.62% (2 positive cases out of 320 respondents with Ascaris lumbricoides and Blastocystis hominis co-infection). Basic sanitation facilities were well-maintained (100% pour-flush toilets), and participation in routine mass drug administration (POMP) reached 100%. Statistical analysis using Fisher's Exact Test showed no significant association between shoe-wearing habits, knowledge levels, or gender and helminthiasis infection (p = 1.000). However, a significant knowledge gap was identified, as 66.56% of respondents were unaware of helminthiasis and 100% did not recognize its link to anemia and stunting. In conclusion, low infection prevalence is driven by structural sanitation and mass deworming, but targeted health education is necessary to sustain elimination.

Abstract

Background: Nothopanax scutellarium (mangkokan leaves) and Colocasia esculenta L. (taro petioles) contain bioactive compounds such as flavonoids, saponins, tannins, terpenoids, and steroids, which play essential roles in wound healing. Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a topical ointment containing a combination of ethanolic extracts of mangkokan leaves and taro petioles on incised wound healing in male rabbits. Methods: A laboratory experimental study with a post-test-only control group design was conducted using three ointment formulas (10%:5%, 7.5%:7.5%, and 5%:10%), alongside positive (povidone-iodine) and negative controls. Wound length was measured daily for 10 days. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post-hoc test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results: All formulations significantly accelerated wound healing compared with the negative control (p < 0.05). The 5%:10% formulation achieved complete wound closure on day 7, showing a statistically significant difference from the positive control (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The combination of mangkokan leaf and taro petiole extracts effectively promotes incised wound healing, with the 5%:10% formula demonstrating the most optimal effect. These findings support the potential of developing this herbal ointment as a safe and efficient antiseptic alternative.
