Background: Pinworm infection remains a global public health problem in Indonesia, with the highest prevalence in primary school–aged children. The government has made helminthiasis control efforts through annual deworming every six months, yet data on the enterobiasis prevalence and its risk factors are still limited. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the role of personal hygiene and anthelmintic or worm medicine consumption in the prevention of enterobiasis among primary school children. Methods: This research employed an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. The population used was primary school children in the Public Health Center (PHC) of Kaliwungu area, Kendal District, Central Java Province. The research sample was 150 students from first grade to third grade at 1 Primary Elementary School 1 Kutoharjo. The data sources were obtained from interviews of risk factors and perianal swab examinations. The data were analyzed by a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of pinworm infection among primary school children remains high (37.33%). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that there are three determinant variables of pinworm infections: not washing hands with soap before eating (p < 0.01; Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) = 6.47; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 2.87 < POR < 14.59); not washing hands with soap after defecation (p = 0.01; POR = 3.36; 95% CI = 1.40 < POR < 8.05); and not consuming anthelmintic drugs within the past six months (p = 0.03; POR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.08 < POR < 5.50). Conclusion: Hand washing habits and annual deworming are important factors to prevent pinworm infections.
Kejadian kecelakaan lalu lintas darat cenderung mengalami peningkatan. Salah satu penyumbang kecelakaan lalu lintas darat adalah kecelakaan bus Antar Kota Antar Provinsi (AKAP). Kecelakaan bus AKAP ini berisiko menimbulkan kerugian karena menyangkut keselamatan penumpang dan pengguna jalan lain. Risiko kecelakaan ini erat kaitannya dengan kesehatan dan kebugaran pengemudi bus. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara gaya hidup dengan risiko kecelakaan pada pengemudi bus AKAP yang melintasi Kabupaten Kendal. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian obsersional-analitik. Penelitian dilakukan di RM.X dengan responden sebanyak 40 orangpengemudi bus AKAP. Pengumpulan data melalui wawancara dengan kuesioner. Data dianalisis secara statistik dengan uji chi square. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan tidak ada hubungan yang bermakna antara kebiasaan olahraga (nilai p = 0,654), pola istirahat (0,279), dan pola makan dengan kejadian kecelakaan kerja pada pengemudi bus AKAP. Seluruh pengemudi bus AKAP (100%) memiliki pola makan tidak seimbang. Disarankan pengemudi bus AKAP untuk lebih memperhatikan kebugaran, kebiasaan istirahat serta kebiasaan makan, agar saat mengemudi selalu dalam kondisi prima. Kata kunci : Gaya hidup, pola istirahat, kebiasaan makan, risiko kecelakaan, pengemudi bus LIFESTYLE AND RISK OF ACCIDENTS ON THE INTER-CITY INTER-PROVINCE BUS ACCIDENT (AKAP) ABSTRACT Land traffic accident incidents tend to increase. One of the contributors to land traffic accidents is the Inter-City Inter-Province bus accident (AKAP). This AKAP bus accident risks causing losses because it involves the safety of passengers and other road users. This accident risk is closely related to the health and fitness of the bus driver. This study aims to determine the relationship between lifestyle and risk of accidents on AKAP bus drivers who cross the Kendal Regency. This study is an analytical-analytical study. The research was conducted at RM.X with 40 respondents as AKAP bus drivers. Data collection through interviews with questionnaires. Data were analyzed statistically by the chi square test. The results showed no significant relationship between exercise habits (p value = 0.654), rest pattern (0.279), and diet with the incidence of workplace accidents in AKAP Bus drivers. All AKAP bus drivers (100%) have an unbalanced diet. AKAP bus drivers are advised to pay more attention to fitness, rest habits and eating habits, so that when driving is always in top condition.

A good information system can provide accessible health services, which can be the basis of health service management in determining policies. Smart city has been implemented in several cities; one of which is Kendal. Smart city in the field of health services includes several indicators; one of them is the health information system used. Using a descriptive study design, this research aimed to describe the health services information system in Kendal toward Kendal smart city. It was conducted in district health office and ten health services were taken by purposive sampling method. The research respondents were stakeholders of the information system and patients who visited the health office. Data were collected using in-depth interview and observation. The data were then analyzed by data reduction. The results showed that the health service information system used by the district health office and hospital was a self-developed system. In public health center, they used SIMPUS, which is provided by the district health office. In Clinic, computerized and manual systems were used. The obstacles are data processing and fulfillment of human resources. The government should provide information systems that are in accordance with whose needs, make rules about the single data system, and meet human resources needs.
Background: Pinworm or Enterobius vermicularis is the most common type of intestinal worm infection worldwide. The prevalence of pinworm infection in primary school children is high (17-38%). In theory, pinworm infection is related to personal hygiene, but empirical study to estimate this relationship in Indonesia is lacking. This study aimed to determine the assocciation between personal hygiene and egg positive rate of pinworm among primary school children. Subjects and Method: This was a cross sectional study conducted in the working area of Kaliwungu community health center (puskesmas), Kendal, West Java. A total of 150 students in grades 1 to 3 at Kutoharjo 1 primary school was selected for this study. The independent variable was personal hygiene, which was measured by questionnaire. The dependent variable was the presence of pinworm worm egg, which was measured by periplaswab using the Graham Scot tape method and saturated NaCl floatation examination. The data were analyzed by Chi-square. Results: Positive number of worm egg was 37.3% in the perianal and 44% in the hand nail area. Poor personal hygiene was positively associated with the presence of pinworm egg in the perianal (OR= 3.60; 95%CI= 1.72 to 7.55; p= 0.001) and hand nail (OR= 2.93; 95%CI= 1.47 to 5.85; p= 0.002). Worm egg presence in the hand nail was positively associated with the presence of worm egg in the perianal area (OR= 3.39; 95%CI= 1.70 to 6.76; p= 0.001). Conclusion:Poor personal hygiene is positively associated with pinworm infection and the transmission process occurs through hands to mouth.
