Abstract

Worms are caused by human behavior. Types of worms that are often the cause of worms are hookworn and Trichuris trichiura. Until now there are still school-age children who are infected by Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH), but public awareness to prevent and deal with helminthiasis is still lacking. Due to the ignorance of the community, especially students and teachers, the school must prepare facilities for washing hands and soap that meet the requirements so that children after playing or before eating at school wash their hands first and the risk of worm infection can decrease. The method used is counseling and training. The results obtained from 14 respondents who took part in this Abdimas activity were at the time of the pretest as many as 57.14% of respondents knew about intestinal worms and their prevention. After being given counseling and training, the results increased to 73.21%. This means that the level of knowledge of respondents about worms rose 16.07%. Through this Abdimas students participate in the socialization of helminthiasis in the environment where they are located, namely at school, at home and in the surrounding environment.

Abstract

Pulmonary TB is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disease is a contagious disease and spreads faster in men 1,4 times greater than women. The aim is to reveal the problem of risk factors that influence pulmonary TB disease, namely smokers and alcoholics. The method is that this article was written by reading a number of literature discussing pulmonary TB in relation to smoking and drinking behavior. Smokers have a 40-60 percent higher chance of developing pulmonary TB than non-smokers. An unhealthy environment can trigger a wider spread of TB, especially from TB patients who smoke. Alcohol dependence of pulmonary TB patients with smear + in the pre-alcoholic stage can climb to the next stage. At an emergency stage alcoholism can cause the body's resistance to decrease because all control is lost, even alcohol drinkers will continue until they pass out so that the social interaction of the person concerned becomes bad due to dependence on alcohol. The conclusion is that smoking and drinking alcohol are risk factors for pulmonary TB patients. There needs to be a strong motivation so that we all reduce the habit of smoking and drinking alcohol
