Abstract

SPAL has several negative impacts that are not in line with health standards. When household wastewater seeps into the stream and ends up at ground level where it is discharged, the first thing to notice is to block the view. In addition, wastewater can also emit an unpleasant odor that makes it less comfortable for the community, especially those who are active indoors. In the coastal area of Dusun II, Sialang Buah Village, Teluk Mengkudu, Serdang Bedagai, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and the role of health workers with the management of home wastewater drains. This study uses a cross-sectional quantitative research method. The sample was 53 respondents, representing 386 households and 1200 individuals. The research was conducted in Teluk Mengkudu, Serdang Bedagai, in Hamlet II, Sialang Buah Village. Random Sampling is a method used for sampling. The conclusion of the analysis shows that although knowledge and home SPAL are not related, the role and attitude of the officer are related to the household SPAL. To prevent the occurrence of diseases caused by wastewater sewers, it is hoped that the residents of Hamlet II, Sialang Buah Village, Teluk Mengkudu, Serdang Bedagai will further strengthen their awareness, attitudes, and activities regarding the correct household wastewater sewer (SPAL).

Abstract

Acute respiratory infections (ARI) in toddlers remain an urgent health issue in Indonesia because toddlers are susceptible to infection due to their immature immune systems. The physical environment of the home plays a major role as a risk factor, especially in homes with poor ventilation, minimal lighting, high humidity, and inadequate sanitation. The objective of this study is to determine the relationship between housing density, the presence of ventilation, the presence of windows, lighting, and temperature with the incidence of ISPA in infants in Pasar Simundol Village. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design. The sample size in this study is 55 infants, calculated using the Lameshow formula. Data analysis was performed using univariate and bivariate analysis with the chi-square test. The results of the study showed a relationship between the presence of windows (PR = 1.697; p = 0.019 < 0.05), the presence of ventilation (PR = 1.080; p = 0.030 < 0.05), lighting (PR = 1.753; 0.011 < 0.05), temperature (PR = 1.733; p = 0.012 < 0.05), and humidity (PR = 1.853; p = 0.026), while there was no association with housing density (PR = 1.175; p = 0.832 > 0.05). It is recommended that the community improve the physical conditions of their homes, such as adding ventilation, windows, and maintaining cleanliness and lighting to reduce the risk of respiratory infections in infants.
