Abstract

Background: Worms and scabies are two common health problems found in areas with inadequate sanitation, including rural areas such as Karang Tengah Village, Gunung Pancar. Adolescents are a vulnerable group to these two diseases due to suboptimal hygiene practices and limited health knowledge. Objective: This activity aims to increase adolescents' understanding of the transmission, symptoms, prevention, and initial management of worms and scabies through interactive counseling activities. Method: The activity was carried out in the form of counseling with a participatory approach in the village hall, involving 45 adolescents aged 12–18 years. The material was provided through presentations, discussions, and the distribution of educational leaflets. Evaluation was carried out with a pretest and posttest to measure changes in knowledge. Results: There was a significant increase in knowledge after the counseling, with an average pretest score of 56.2 increasing to 84.5 in the posttest. In addition, participants showed high enthusiasm and expressed a commitment to implementing clean and healthy living behaviors. Conclusion: Health counseling has been proven effective in increasing adolescents' understanding of worms and scabies. Educational interventions such as these are recommended to be implemented periodically in similar communities to prevent the occurrence of environmentally based infectious diseases.

Abstract

Kelumpuhan Periodik Tirotoksik (TPP) adalah kelainan langka yang ditandai dengan timbulnya kelemahan otot secara tiba-tiba dan episode hipokalemia dengan tirotoksikosis. TPP umumnya ditemukan pada pria berusia 20-40 tahun di Asia.1 TPP adalah kondisi reversibel yang dapat ditangani dengan koreksi kalium dan normalisasi hormon tiroid. Peningkatan aktivitas pompa Na-K ATPase dan mutasi pada gen yang mengkode saluran kiri pada otot rangka merupakan teori yang dapat menjelaskan terjadinya TPP.2 Kelemahan otot yang dapat berkembang menjadi kelumpuhan akibat hipokalemia dianggap sebagai keadaan darurat medis. Hipokalemia dapat terjadi akibat hilangnya K+ di ginjal atau saluran cerna atau akibat pergeseran K+ ke dalam sel yang disebabkan oleh gangguan asam basa atau distimulasi oleh obat-obatan atau hormon endogen.3 Laporan kasus ini menggambarkan seorang anak laki-laki berusia 17 tahun yang mengalami kelumpuhan akut yang disertai tanda dan gejala hipertiroidisme.
