Abstract

Microbiological infections in children are still a significant health problem, especially in sub-urban environments with suboptimal sanitation infrastructure. Environmental factors and hygiene habits play a big role in increasing or decreasing the risk of infection. This study aims to analyze the relationship between home sanitation conditions, housing density, children's hygiene habits, and the incidence of microbiological infections in children in Bontote'ne Housing, Makassar. This study uses an analytical descriptive study design with a cross-sectional approach. A total of 50 children aged 5–12 years and their parents participated as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires regarding environmental factors, children's hygiene habits, and history of microbiological infections. The analysis was performed using Chi-Square tests and logistic regression to identify the relationship between independent variables and bound variables. The results showed that poor sanitation, high residential density, and inadequate handwashing practices were significantly associated with increased rates of gastrointestinal, respiratory, and diarrhoeal infections. Handwashing with soap was identified as a key protective factor.This study confirms that environmental factors and hygiene habits have an important role in the incidence of microbiological infections in children. Public health interventions such as improving sanitation infrastructure, improving access to clean water, and ongoing hygiene education are needed to reduce the risk of infection in sub-urban environments.

Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminthiases (STH) infections are one of the most common types of infections worldwide, with an estimated 1.5 billion people infected, accounting for 24% of the world's population. According to data from the WHO in 2024, more than 260 million pre-school children and 654 million school-aged children in Indonesia are vulnerable to helminthiasis infection. They are in urgent need of treatment and preventive interventions. Helminthiasis in children leads to a decline in their health and nutritional status, resulting in impaired growth, development, and physical and psychological activity. The purpose of this activity was to educate students of SD 34 Kendari class 3A about helminthiasis. This activity was carried out using the lecture method, providing leaflets and educational videos by lecturers, practitioners, and pharmacist professional students of the 13th batch of the Faculty of Pharmacy UHO, in collaboration with SDN 34 Kendari school, Puuwatu District, Kendari City. The results of this activity contributed to increasing the knowledge and understanding of students of SDN 34 Kendari about helminthiasis and how to prevent it.
