Abstract

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infections remain a common health problem among school-aged children, particularly those related to poor hygiene practices and the consumption of unhygienic snacks. Handwashing habits and choosing clean food play an essential role in preventing the fecal–oral transmission of helminths. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between gender, handwashing behavior, and snack consumption with the occurrence of helminth infections among students at SD X. Method: This research employed a descriptive-analytic design with a cross-sectional approach. A total sample of 31 students was selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and stool examinations. The data were analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with the Chi-square test. Results: The results showed that 25.8% of the students were infected with helminths. Based on gender, the proportion of infection was equal among male and female students, with a Chi-square test result of p = 0.731. Students with poor handwashing practices showed a higher proportion of helminth infections; however, the association was not statistically significant (p = 0.073). Similarly, students who frequently consumed unhygienic snacks had a higher infection rate, yet no significant relationship was found (p = 0.314). Conclusion: In conclusion, there was no significant association between gender, handwashing behavior, and snack consumption with helminth infections among students of SD X. Nevertheless, the observed tendencies suggest that poor hygiene behavior and the consumption of unhygienic snacks may contribute to an increased risk of helminth infection. Keywords: Handwashing Behavior, Snack Consumption, Incidence of Helminth Infection

Abstract

T Background : Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as Indonesia. Early detection is essential in controlling TB transmission. Method : This study aimed to describe the results of pulmonary TB examinations using the GeneXpert Molecular Rapid Test (TCM) method at RSUD Tugu Jaya. This research used a descriptive quantitative design with a total sampling technique, involving 400 patient samples. Pulmonary tuberculosis examination was performed using the GeneXpert rapid molecular test (TCM), which is based on an automated real-time PCR method. Results : The results showed that out of 400 patients, 353 (88.25%) were negative for TB, 46 (11.5%) were positive for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) with rifampicin sensitivity, and 1 (0.25%) was positive for MTB with rifampicin resistance. Age distribution revealed that the productive age group (15–50 years) had more active TB cases than other groups. Based on gender, males showed a higher proportion of TB cases than females. Conclusion : In conclusion, the GeneXpert TCM method is effective in detecting pulmonary TB, including drug-resistant TB, emphasizing the need for targeted preventive efforts in productive-age males.
