Kejadian infeksi soil-transmitted helminth pada petani

Abstract

Abstrak. Petani memiliki risiko terinfeksi Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH) akibat sering berkontak langsung dengan tanah yang terkontaminasi oleh telur STH. Tingginya risiko terinfeksi STH pada petani berhubungan dengan perilaku personal hygiene dan pemakaian alat pelindung diri saat bekerja. Tujuan dilakukan penelitian untuk mengetahui angka kejadian infeksi STH dan faktor yang mempengaruhinya. Penelitian dilaksanakan di Kelurahan Pinang Jaya, Lampung. Populasi pada penelitian ini adalah 63 petani dan sampel dipilih sebanyak 55 petani dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data diperoleh dengan pemeriksaan feses, pengisian kuesioner, dan observasi. Data dianalisis dengan menggunakan α =5%. Hasil penelitian didapatkan prevalensi STH pada petani sebanyak 40% dengan jenis telur cacing A.lumbricoides (22,7%), cacing tambang (59,1%), dan terinfeksi keduanya (18,2%). Sebagian besar personal hygiene petani baik (63,6%) dan sebagian besar petani tidak lengkap menggunakan APD (69,1%). Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa personal hygiene dan penggunaan APD berhubungan terhadap kejadian STH (pα). Diperlukan edukasi kepada petani untuk dapat meningkatkan personal hygiene dan menggunakan alas kaki untuk melindungi diri dari risiko STH. Keyword: infeksi Soil Transmited Helminth, petani Abstract. Farmers have the risk of being infected with STH due to frequent direct contact with the soil which contaminated by STH eggs. The high risk of STH infection among farmers is related to personal hygiene behavior and the use of personal protective equipment while working. The purpose of this study is to determine the prevalence of STH and the factors that influence it. The study was conducted in Pinang Jaya Village, Lampung. The population in this study was 63 farmers and a sample of 55 farmers was selected by purposive sampling technique. Data obtained by stool examination, filling out questionnaires, and observing. Data were analyzed using α = 5%. The results showed that the prevalence of STH among farmers was 40% with A. lumbricoides eggs (22.7%), hookworms (59.1%), and both infected (18.2%). Most of the farmers' personal hygiene was good (63.6%) and most farmers did not completely use PPE (69.1%). The results of the analysis showed that personal hygiene and the use of PPE were related to the incidence of STH (p α. Education is needed for farmers to improve personal hygiene and use footwear to protect themselves from the risks of STH. Keywords: Soil Transmited Helminth infection, personal hygiene, farmers

Spatial Map of Geohelminths Infection in Agricultural Communities and its Contamination in Soil of Jatian Village, Jember Regency

“…This result supports a previous study showing that the highest intensity of hookworm infection was found in adults and agricultural workers (1). Another study on farmers in Bandar Lampung also showed that the worm that infected farmers the most was hookworm (13 farmers, 59.1%) (7). Research on agricultural communities in the Bolivian Amazon also showed that the species that infected the most agricultural communities was the hookworm (83%) (16).…”

“…Research conducted on plantation workers in July showed that nine out of 36 people (25%) were infected by geohelminths (6). Another study on farmers in Bandar Lampung explained that as many as 22 people (40%) were positively infected with STH (7). Several risk factors are associated with geohelminth infections among farmers.…”

Risk Factors for Helminth Infection in Farmers : Literature Review

“…Based on research conducted (Saftarina et al, 2020), 52.6% of farmers who did not wear PPE completely were infected with STH, and of farmers who wore PPE completely, only 11.8% were infected. This research is in line with research conducted by (Baidowi et al, 2019) in the Kaliputih Plantation, Sumber Bulus Village, Ledokombo sub-district, Jember district, that as many as 91.67% of workers use PPE well, and 8.33% use PPE poorly.…”

“…This STH infection can disrupt the tissue and organs of the sufferer's body by taking nutrients from the body (Kurniawan et al, 2023). Farmers are at significant risk of soil-transmitted Helminth (STH) infection because farmer workers always have direct contact with soil contaminated with STH egg cells (Saftarina et al, 2020). The cause of STH infection is poor personal hygiene in farmers, such as not wearing footwear when doing activities outside the home and not wearing PPE in the form of closed footwear when working (Saftarina et al, 2020).…”

“…Indonesia berada di posisi ke-2 menjadi negara dengan kejadian infeksi STH tertinggi di Asia Tenggara. Kejadian infeksi tinggi di indonesia karena adanya iklim tropis dan juga kelembaban sehingga dapat mendukung penyebaran infeksi cacing (Saftarina et al, 2020).…”
