The knowledge of soil-transmitted helminths morphology and life cycle in pre-post study analysis to madrasah aliyah students in Pacet, Cianjur. = Pengetahuan tentang morfologi dan siklus hidup soil-transmitted helminths dalam analisis pre-post study kepada murid madrasah aliyah di Pacet, Cianjur.

Soil transmitted helminths (STH) infection becomes problem, especially in tropical and subtropical country, including Indonesia. Health education appears as one of the solutions to mitigate the infections. The local’s sanitation surround the plantation area is low that it will contaminate the vegetables. The study was conducted to measure the effectiveness of health education about STH among Madrasah Aliyah students located in Cianjur.

Data collection held on 10 September 2011 which participated by 49 Madrasah Aliyah students using questionnaire which consist five questions regarding STH morphology. The result depicts that most of them were female with 51% of the total number, first grade 49%, have history toward STH infection 57.1%, and their surrounding people had been infected to STH 77.6%. The median score of the pre test was 52 (0-80). Based on the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis test, the delta score of the knowledge level has no association with the demographic characteristics excluding surrounding infected history (p=0.008). The median score increase after health education 72 (28-92). There was significant difference (p < 0.001) in the knowledge level of STH morphology and life cycle in pre and post-test using Wilcoxon Test. Conclusion: health education was effective in increasing the knowledge level of Aliyah students regarding STH morphology and life cycle.

Infeksi soil transmitted helminths (STH) menjadi masalah, terutama di negara tropis dan subtropis, termasuk di Indonesia. Penyuluhan kesehatan merupakan salah satu solusi untuk mengurangi infeksi.

Nilai median pre tes 52 (0-80). Berdasarkan tes Mann-Whitney dan Kruskal-Wallis, skor delta dari tingkat pengetahuan tidak mempunyai hubungan dengan karakteristik demografi kecuali riwayat infeksi orang sekitar (p=0.008).
