Association between Intestinal Parasitic Infection and Personal Hygiene in Primary School Pupils in South Jakarta = Hubungan Infeksi Parasit Usus dan Tingkat Kebersihan Pribadi pada anak Sekolah Dasar di Jakarta Selatan.

Intestinal parasitic infection is still one of the most prevalent parasitic infections in developing countries. Intestinal parasitic infection is closely linked to nutrition, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, income, climate, as well as education level. This disease may have several impacts in many life aspects such as children’s growth and development, nutritional status, and anemia. A cross sectional study was performed in May, 2015, among 157 pupils in a primary school in South Jakarta, Indonesia. Structured questionnaire was developed to assess the personal hygiene behavior of the students. Physical examination of the nail fingers was conducted as well. Faecal samples were collected from study subjects and examined using direct smear techniques to identify parasitism in the intestine. Data entry analysed with SPSS 17 soft ware. A bivariate analysis was done. Significancy determined by P value less than 0.05. The overall incidence of intestinal parasite infections of 157 students finding was 38,2%. The most predominant parasite was B. hominis in 44 students (69,4%) followed by G.intestinalis in 8 students (15,3%), E.coli in 3 students (1,9%), Hookworm in 1 students (1,4%) and T.trichiura in 1 students (1.4%). There is no significant difference between prevalence of Intestinal Parasitic Infection with footwear usage (p= 0.972), nail-cutting once a week (p=0,718), handwashing before meal (p=0,688), handwashing after defecations (p=0.618), however there is a significant relation between nail cleanlilness (p=0.03) and IPI. It can be conclude that there is a significant association between incidence of IPI with personal hygiene on nail cleanlilness aspect indicating the requirement of interventions like health education on the nail hygiene behaviour.

Infeksi parasit usus merupakan salah satu infeksi parasit yang paling umum di negara berkembang. Penyakit ini berhubungan erat dengan status nutrisi, kebersihan pribadi, sanitasi lingkungan, tingkat pendapatan, iklim, serta tingkat pendidikan. Penyakit ini memiliki berbagai dampak dalam berbagai aspek kehidupan seperti pertumbuhan dan perkembangan anak, status gizi, dan anemia. Sebuah studi cross sectional dilakukan pada bulan Mei, 2015, di antara 157 siswa SD di Jakarta Selatan, Indonesia. Kuesioner digunakan untuk menilai kebersihan pribadi dari subyek penelitian. Pemeriksaan fisik dari jari-jari kuku juga dilakukan. Sampel feses dikumpulkan dari subyek penelitian dan diperiksa menggunakan teknik pemeriksaan langsung untuk mengidentifikasi parasit di usus. Data dianalisis dengan soft ware SPSS. Analisis regresi logistik bivariat dilakukan dan signifikansi ditentukan oleh nilai P kurang dari 0,05. Insiden keseluruhan infeksi parasit usus adalah 38,2%. Parasit yang paling dominan adalah B. hominis 44 (69,4%) diikuti oleh G.intestinalis 8 (15,3%), E.coli 3 (1,9%), cacing tambang 1 (1,4%) dan T. trichiura 1 (1,4%). Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan antara insidensi infeksi parasit usus dengan penggunaan alas kaki (p = 0,972), pemotongan kuku seminggu sekali (p = 0.718), mencuci tangan sebelum makan (p = 0.688), dan mencuci tangan setelah buang air besar (p = 0,618), Namun ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kebersihan kuku dan IPI. Hal ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara kejadian IPI dengan kebersihan pribadi pada aspek kebersihan kuku, menunjukkan kebutuhan intervensi seperti pendidikan kesehatan pada perilaku kebersihan kuku.
