Abstract

Pesticide sprayers are at high risk of occupational exposure, particularly in rural agricultural settings where preventive measures are limited. Personal hygiene practices may play a critical role in reducing internal pesticide exposure, yet biomarker-based evidence from rural Indonesia remains scarce. This study aimed to examine the association between personal hygiene practices and blood cholinesterase activity among tobacco pesticide sprayers in rural Indonesia and to describe related health complaints. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 20 tobacco pesticide sprayers in Jelbudan Village, East Java, Indonesia, using a total sampling approach. Personal hygiene practices and health complaints were assessed through structured interviews. Blood cholinesterase activity was measured using a Tintometer kit and categorized according to standard reference values. Data were analyzed descriptively and using prevalence ratios to assess associations. Inadequate personal hygiene practices were common, particularly failure to wash hands with soap after spraying (55%). Mild cholinesterase inhibition was observed in 60% of participants. Sprayers who did not wash their hands immediately after spraying had a higher prevalence of reduced cholinesterase activity (PR = 1.84) than those who washed their hands properly. Headache, dizziness, and shortness of breath were the most frequently reported health complaints, although their association with cholinesterase activity was weak. Poor personal hygiene practices are prevalent among tobacco pesticide sprayers and are associated with reduced blood cholinesterase activity. Promoting basic hygiene behaviors and routine biomonitoring may help reduce occupational pesticide exposure in rural agricultural communities.

Abstract

Tuberculosis cases in Indonesia are ranked second in the world. TB prevention needs to be done at the grassroots level by involving trained TB cadres. The simulation training method is one of the strategies in increasing the capacity of cadres in increasing TB knowledge and the performance of TB cadres in finding cases. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of providing simulation training methods on the level of cadre knowledge and performance of YABHYSA Sumenep TB cadres. This study uses a quantitative analytic survey with a cross-sectional design research design. Sampling using non probability sampling by means of purposive sampling, namely all active cadres SSR YABHYSA Sumenep as many as 45 people.The results showed that there was an effect of providing simulation training methods on increasing knowledge and performance of TB cadres YABHYSA Sumenep between before and after receiving simulation training (p<0.05). It is concluded that the provision of simulation training methods can improve the knowledge of TB cadres and cadre performance in TB case finding.
