Abstract

Food and drink are the most important necessities of life and have the potential to be contaminated with pathogenic bacteria. Factors that influence food quality are the behavior of food handlers in the application of personal hygiene and food sanitation. This study aims to determine the relationship between the knowledge and attitudes of food handlers and the application of food sanitation hygiene in restaurants in Minas District. This research is a quantitative research with cross sectional research design. The location in the research is a restaurant in Minas District. The time of this research was conducted from March to May 2022. The research population was all food handlers at restaurants in Minas District, 18 restaurants in Minas District consisting of 36 food handlers. The sampling technique is total sampling. The sample in this study were 36 people. The type of data in this study is primary data obtained by direct observation Primary data obtained from surveys to locations in restaurants in Minas District and direct interviews with respondents using questionnaires and observation sheets. Data collection was carried out by direct observation and interviews with food handlers using a questionnaire. Data analysis with chi square test. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the knowledge of food handlers and the application of food sanitation hygiene (p-value = 0.005) and there was a significant relationship between the attitudes of food handlers and the application of food sanitation hygiene (p-value = 0.002). It is recommended that food handlers should wash their hands with soap and running water before doing work, wear masks and not chat while processing food. Keywords: Attitude, Food Handlers, Hygiene, Knowledge, Sanitation

Abstract

Pulmonary tuberculosis remains a major public health issue, particularly in regions with poor living conditions that facilitate transmission. Understanding the interplay between environmental risk factors and spatial distribution is essential for designing effective interventions. This study examined environmental determinants and spatial clustering of pulmonary tuberculosis cases within the Tanjung Morawa Health Center area, Deli Serdang Regency, Indonesia. Using an observational analytic case-control design, 160 respondents (80 cases and 80 controls) were selected through simple random sampling. Environmental data, including ventilation, humidity, lighting, residential density, floor condition, and wall condition, were collected through systematic observation and direct measurement. Statistical analyses employed Chi-square tests and multiple logistic regression, whilespatial analysis utilized Geographic Information System (GIS) methods, including Average Nearest Neighbor, overlay, and buffer analyses. Results revealed that household humidity was the strongest predictor of pulmonary tuberculosis (OR=44.33), followed by inadequate lighting and poor floor conditions. Ventilation, wall quality, and residential density showed no significant associations. Spatial analysis demonstrated a clustered distribution pattern, indicating localized transmission in high-risk areas. These findings highlight the critical role of housing quality in tuberculosis transmission.  Targeted interventions focusing on humidity control, housing improvements, and environmental health promotion are recommended to reduce disease burden in identified clusters Keywords: Tuberculosis, Spatial Distribution Pattern, Environmental Risk Factors, Housing Quality
