Hepatitis B is caused by acute or chronic hepatitis B virus infection. It is the most dangerous liver disease compared to other liver diseases due to its lack of apparent symptoms. The symptoms include slight jaundice in the eyes and skin accompanied by lethargy. This study aimed to determine the risk factors for intra-familial transmission of hepatitis B virus for household contacts of hepatitis B patients. The analytical correlation study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from June to July 2018 in Alak subdistrict, Kupang, Indonesia. Venous blood was collected from 45 subjects consisting of 12 patients and 33 family member. Examination was then performed using HBsAg test strip, resulting in the percentage of transmission of 15.15%. Statistical analysis revealed p>0.05. In conclusions, no relationship between gender, age, education, marital status, occupation, and HBsAg status. These characteristics are not risk factors for conversion of HBsAg status. FAKTOR RISIKO PENULARAN VIRUS HEPATITIS B KONTAK SERUMAH DI ANTARA PASIEN HEPATITIS B DI KUPANG, INDONESIAHepatitis B disebabkan oleh infeksi virus hepatitis B yang bersifat akut atau kronik. Penyakit ini termasuk penyakit hati yang paling berbahaya dibanding dengan penyakit hati yang lain karena tidak menunjukkan gejala yang jelas. Gejalanya hanya sedikit warna kuning pada mata dan kulit disertai lesu. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui faktor risiko penularan virus hepatitis B pada kontak serumah pasien hepatitis B. Penelitian korelasi analitik dengan desain cross-sectional ini dilaksanakan pada bulan Juni sampai Juli 2018 di Kecamatan Alak, Kupang, Indonesia. Darah vena diambil dari 45 subjek yang terdiri atas 12 pasien dan 33 anggota keluarga. Pemeriksaan kemudian dilakukan menggunakan strip tes HBsAg menghasilkan persentase penularan 15,15%. Analisis statistik didapatkan p>0,05. Simpulan, tidak terdapat hubungan antara jenis kelamin, usia, pendidikan, status pernikahan, pekerjaan, dan status HbsAg. Karakteristik ini bukan faktor risiko untuk konversi status HBsAg.
Latar Belakang. Tuberkulosis adalah suatu penyakit infeksi yang disebabkan oleh bakteri Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Tuberkulosis laten adalah salah satu keadaan yang terjadi ketika terpapar dengan bakteri TB namun tidak menunjukan gejala klinis. Anggota keluarga rentan tertular TB dikarenakan sulit menghindari kontak dengan penderita. Uji tuberculin skin test adalah salah satu uji yang dipakai untuk mendiagnosa TB laten. Tujuan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran TB laten pada kontak serumah dengan pasien TB BTA positif. Menentukan hubungan antara TB laten dengan umur, jenis kelamin, pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok. Metode. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian analitik korelasi dengan desain cros sectional dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 22 orang. Hasil. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian sebanyak 15 orang (68,2%) dengan indurasi > 10 mm, dan 7 orang (31, 8%) dengan indurasi < 10 mm . Sedangkan berdasarkan hasil uji statistik untuk melihat hubungan antara pengaruh umur, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok dengan status TB laten diperoleh approx signifikan > 0,05. Kesimpulan. Dengan demikian prevalensi TB laten pada kontak serumah pasien BTA positif sebesar 68,2% dan tidak terdapat hubungan antara umur, jenis kelamin, tingkat pendidikan, pekerjaan dan status merokok dengan status TB.
Background: Malaria is an infectious disease that is still a world public health problem, especially in developing countries with tropical climates, including Indonesia. Ondorea Village in Nangapanda Subdistrict, Ende Regency, is one of the villages in East Nusa Tenggara, which is a province with APIs above the national average. Objective: To determine family behavior in using mosquito nets as an effort to prevent malaria in Ondorea Village, Nangapanda District. Method: This research is a survey research type with descriptive research design, the design used is"cross sectional".The population were all families residing in Ondorea Village, totaling 178 families, the sample in this study used a total sample. The variable in this study was a single variable, namely family behavior in the use of mosquito nets. The data used in this study are primary data collected by making home visits. Results: Public knowledge about the use of mosquito nets as an effort to prevent malaria in Ondorea Village, Nangapanda District was in the sufficient category, namely 85.39%, those with good knowledge of 6.34% and those with moderate knowledge of 7.87%. The public attitude about the use of mosquito nets is in the good category, namely 99.4%, which has a sufficient attitude of 0.56%. Conclusion: There is no relationship between the level of knowledge and the behavior of using mosquito nets, but it is found that there is a relationship between family attitudes and the behavior of using mosquito nets as an effort to prevent malaria
BACKGROUND: Hepatitis B is a disease that infects the liver and is caused by the infection of a hepatitis B virus (HBV), and is becoming a global health issue, especially in developing countries including Indonesia. Hepatitis B can be transmitted through several ways such as infected bodily fluids. Indeed, children who live together in an orphanage are prone to having a high chance of transmitting Hepatitis B to each other. AIM: The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors associated with the prevalence of infected Hepatitis B. METHODS: This research used casecontrol study methodology by taking 15 positive case samples and 33 controlled uninfected patients and was conducted in six orphanages in Kupang Municipality in NTT between July 2019 and November 2019. There were 310 orphanage residents participating in this research. RESULTS: The research denotes that variables of using a shared toothbrush, nail clipper, and shaver show a significant connection with their Hepatitis B status (p < 0.05). A further analysis also indicates that using a shared shaver and toothbrush for 12.6 times has a high risk of being infected by Hepatitis B compared to those who do not share their personal items. CONCLUSION: Vaccinations and meeting the basic needs of every child in orphanages are essential in order to minimize the risk of Hepatitis B transmission.
One of the plants that can be used as larvicides is sweet orange (Citrus sinensis). Sweet orange rind containing saponins, tannins, flavonoids, and triterpenoids have a characteristic of aromatic odor and bitter taste which contain 96% essential oils containing limonene, glucoside, hesperidium, and resin that can function as biolarvasides. The Regency of the Middle East South is one of the areas in Indonesia which is known as the center of sweet orange. Soe sweet orange fruit has a distinctive color, aroma, and taste compared to other oranges in Indonesia. The objectives of this study are to discover the effectiveness of the orange rind extract in killing the Aedes aegypti larvae and to identify the minimum concentration of the extract of the sweet, dry rind in killing the larvae. This type of research is experimental post-test only control group design. This research was conducted at the Health Analyst laboratory of Kupang Poltekkes (Health Polytechnic) in January 2019. The third (III) instar larvae were placed in 5 vials, each containing 15 larvae. The total number of samples needed was 375 larvae. It was mixed with 15 ml of Soe sweet orange rind with a concentration of 0.075%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.50%, 0.75%. One-Way Anova test results obtained sig p-value=0,000 (p<0.05), meaning that there is an influence of sweet orange rind ethanol extract on the death of larvae or orange rind extract is effective as a natural insecticide. Significant values were obtained for all concentrations p=0.008 (p> 0.05) meaning that there was an average difference of each concentration. The conclusion of the study shows that the ethanol extract of sweet orange rind (Citrus sinensis L.) is effective in killing Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae with a minimum concentration of ethanol extract sweet orange rind (Citrus sinensis L.) which can kill 0.075% of larvae.
