“…According to Bartram and Cairncross (2010) , people with no or difficult access to clean water and poor general sanitary and hygienic conditions in resource-constrained regions of tropical and subtropical countries are at high risk of developing diarrhea or other digestive disorders. This has also recently been confirmed in a study that was performed in an Indonesian village in Timor ( Agustina et al, 2021 ). In fact, especially in Siberut with its poor, difficult or non-existent access to clean water and low sanitary and hygienic situation, several diarrhea-causing pathogens could be identified on the hands of children, such as E. coli , A. caviae , P. rettgeri , and V. cholerae .…”

Diarrhea is the second leading cause of death mainly effecting young children. Often it is the result of fecal-oral pathogen transmission. We aimed to investigate whether monitoring the prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria on the hands of asymptomatic children is suitable as an indicator of fecal contamination of the environment in their playground. We compared the prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria on the hands of children, who live in the German city of Göttingen, an urban area in a high-income country, with the situation in Medan as an urban area and Siberut as a rural area both in the middle-income country Indonesia. A total of 511 children at the age of 3 months to 14 years were asked to put their thumb print on MacConkey agar, which was used to screen for the presence of Gram-negative bacteria. These were subsequently identified by using MALD-TOF mass spectrometry and classified into the order Enterobacterales, Pseudomonadales, and others. The highest burden of hand contamination was found in children from rural Siberut (66.7%) followed by children from urban Medan (53.9%), and from urban Göttingen (40.6%). In all three study sites, hand contamination was lower in the youngest (<1 year) and oldest age groups (10–14 years) and highest in the age group 5–9 years. Bacteria of the order Enterobacterales possibly indicating fecal contamination were most prevalent in Siberut (85.1%) followed by Medan (62.9%) and Göttingen (21.5%). Most facultative and obligate gastrointestinal pathogens such as Escherichia coli (n = 2) and Providencia rettgeri (n = 7), both being members of the order Enterobacterales, as well as Aeromonas caviae (n = 5), and Vibrio cholerae (n = 1) both belonging to other orders were nearly exclusively identified on the hands of children in Siberut. This result was not surprising, because hygienic conditions were lowest in Siberut. Only one isolate of A. caviae was found in Medan, and no facultative gastrointestinal pathogen was identified on the hands of children from Göttingen. Our pilot study therefore indicates that investigating hands of children for the prevalence of Gram-negative bacteria using selective media are a helpful method to monitor hygienic conditions, and thereby assess the risk for diarrhea-causing bacterial pathogens in the environment.

“…If the flusher doesn't work, people don't want to use the latrine. A problem that can arise if the latrines still used although flushing does not work is the stool will contaminate latrines which can cause a disease among users and family members (17,18). The soap must be provided in the or near the latrines for cleaning purposes including in the hand washing activity after defecating.…”

The habit of hand washing with soap after defecating can prevent the infectious diseases such as diarrhea (18,19) because the dirt hand can be carriers of disease (20) .…”

Background: Since 1995 Ministry of Health has made efforts to realize a clean and healthy living behavior (PHBS) for Indonesian people to improve public health status. However, the achievement of PHBS in Kolaka District has not been optimal as expected. This study aimed to determine the community’s treatment of latrines in Priority area intervention. Method: A descriptive observational with Geographic Information System (GIS) Approach was conducted in this study. Data collection was carried out by household survey using questionnaires and observation checklists. This study used simple random sampling techniques and there were 5,400 households selected as samples. Result: Based on the risk index calculation, the Sub-Districts of Iwomendaa, Wolo, Samaturu, Wundulako, and Pomalaa Sub-Districts are included in the very high-risk category. These 5 Sub Districts will be the basic of decision-making for the behavioral intervention priority program of latrines to avoid negative impacts due to unhealthy latrines. Conclusion: For preparing the clean and healthy living behavior intervention policy that focused on the latrines community’s treatment, the government needs to prioritize areas with very high-risk category.

“…Thus, flies do not have a significant role in the spread of disease in humans. However, one study suggested that the condition of feces disposal sites has a significant relationship with the level of helminth infection [18]. feces disposal sites increase the risk of the spread of diseases transmitted by soil-transmitted helminth.…”

Background: Soil-transmitted helminth infections are diseases caused by the ingestion of infective stages (in the form of eggs, larvae, cysticercoid, and plerocercoid) of worms (nematodes, cestodes, and trematodes) into the human gastrointestinal tract through the fecal-oral route. The risk factors associated with soil-transmitted helminth infections are environmental factors and hygiene factors. These factors are commonly found in agricultural areas. Therefore, we conducted research in Mlaten Village because the majority of the villagers work as cattle breeders. In addition, the surrounding community, especially cattle breeders, experienced excessive diarrhea that was probably caused by a lack of hygiene knowledge, poor sanitation, and low awareness of cattle care and management. This study aims to determine the prevalence and risk factors of soil-transmitted helminth infections in cattle farmers in Mlaten village, Mojokerto, East Java. Methods: This research was conducted using a survey method and cross-sectional study design with 30 cattle farmers as respondents. Human and cow feces were identified using a staining method in the form of 2% eosin. We also used questionnaires to determine the risk factors. The data obtained were presented descriptively and risk factors were analyzed using the chi-square test. Results: The results showed that the habit of cutting nails (OR= 0.083; CI 95%= 0.007-0.950; p<0.05), the habit of washing hands (OR= 0.000; CI 95%= 0.000-0.000; p<0.05), and the habit of washing hands with soap (OR= 0.040; CI 95%= 0.267-18.925; p<0.05) have a significant effect on the incidence of soil-transmitted helminth infections. Conclusion: The prevalence of soil-transmitted helminth infections is significant to personal hygiene risk factors.
