Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a major public health concern in developing countries, particularly among lower- to middle-income populations with poor sanitation, limited access to healthcare, and inadequate clean water. Preschool-aged children are especially vulnerable due to their developing immune systems and increased nutritional needs. This study aimed to identify factors associated with STH infections among children aged 24–59 months in Bandung District, Indonesia. A case-control design was employed using secondary data from helminthiasis surveillance conducted between October 2019 and January 2023, involving a total of 261 children. The Kato-Katz technique was used to examine stool samples for the detection of STH species. Among them, 30 (11.49%) were infected with soil-transmitted helminths (STH), comprising ascariasis (11.11%), trichuriasis (0.38%), and hookworm infection (0.38%). Bivariate chi-square analysis revealed significant associations with fathers’ education level (p = 0.0003), BPJS-Healthcare participation (p = 0.015), water source (p = 0.015), distance from the water source to the latrine (p = 0.003), and nail hygiene (p = 0.018). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed that distance between water source and pit latrine (OR = 0.265; 95% CI: 0.76–0.92), nail hygiene (OR = 0.318; 95% CI: 0.13–0.76), and participation in BPJS-healthcare program (OR = 0.364; 95% CI: 0.15–0.91) were key determinants of STH infection. These findings highlight the importance of addressing environmental and behavioral factors through public health interventions, including improving access to clean water, promoting personal hygiene, and enhancing parental, particularly paternal education, as essential strategies for reducing the risk of STH in children.

Abstract

The Workshop on Utilizing Lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus) for Tea and Soap for PKK (PKK is a community organization aimed at empowering women and participating in the development of Indonesia's welfare). Members in the Pasirwangi Sub-District, Ujungberung District, Bandung City is part of the Community Service Learning (KKN) program conducted by students as a form of community service. This program aims to connect students with the local community through beneficial and practical activities, allowing them to apply the knowledge gained in college to everyday life. The activities included presentations on the making and benefits of lemongrass tea and soap, followed by demonstrations and the distribution of free lemongrass tea. The motivation from the Buruan Sae program and the habit of consuming herbal drinks made lemongrass products appealing to the community. After the workshop on lemongrass utilization, 80% of the PKK members expressed interest in making lemongrass tea or soap, based on post-test data showing their understanding of the plant's benefits. The results of this training are expected to positively impact and foster a sense of independence and creativity within the community, supporting their welfare through local products.
