Abstract

Background: Zoonotic diseases are infections transmitted between animals and humans. Human life is closely intertwined with animals, as many people live alongside animals, consume animal meat, and so forth, which increases their exposure to zoonotic infections. Objectives: This study aims to assess the level of knowledge, perception, and attitude of health cadres toward zoonotic diseases in rural area of Malang Regency. Methods: This study used a cross-sectional approach with a sample size of 108 selected using simple random sampling in rural area of Malang Regency. Data were collected through a questionnaire, including respondent characteristics as well as predisposing, knowledge, perception, and attitude factors for zoonotic diseases. Data were analyzed using a chi-square test for bivariate analysis and a logistic regression test for multivariate analysis. Results: The average age of respondents was 48.1±14,3 years the majority graduating from elementary school (47.2%) and working as farmers (63.9%). The average knowledge score on zoonotic diseases was 8.0 ± 3.9, with 63.9% of respondents scoring below average. The average perception score was 13.4 ± 1.8, with 44.4% of respondents scoring below average. Additionally, 63.9% of respondents had below-average attitude scores (17.3±2,2). The level of education and occupation had a significant relationship with the level of knowledge, perception, and attitude of respondents. Conclusions: The results indicate that the knowledge, perceptions, and attitudes of respondents toward zoonotic diseases are still insufficient. There is a need for enhanced education in this disease to improve public understanding and facilitate early detection.

Abstract

Introduction: Helminthiasis remains a significant public health issue in Indonesia, negatively impacting nutrition and cognitive development, particularly among individuals who are in direct contact with soil. To mitigate this issue, improving personal hygiene and awareness of infection prevention is essential. This study aims to examine the correlation between sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene with blood profiles among workers in agrarian areas. Methods: A cross-sectional approach was used, with 144 samples collected through purposive sampling in the agrarian area of Malang Regency. Data were gathered using questionnaires covering sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene, as well as through hematology tests results obtained from blood samples taken from respondents, which were tested at the dr. Saiful Anwar Malang General Hospital. For data analysis, the Chi-square test was utilized for bivariate analysis, while logistic regression was employed for multivariate analysis. Results: The mean age of respondents was 48.1 ± 14.1 years, with a majority having attained only an elementary education (51.4%) and primarily working as farmers (66.7%). Approximately 38.2% of respondents demonstrated poor personal hygiene. Significant associations were found between personal hygiene and hemoglobin levels (p=0.031), as well as eosinophil counts (p=0.007). Multivariate analysis showed that respondents who did not wash their hands before eating had 1.8 times higher odds of having abnormal blood profiles compared to those who practiced handwashing. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that sociodemographic factors and personal hygiene are associated with the quality of blood profile among respondents. Enhanced education is needed to raise community awareness regarding personal hygiene.
