Abstract

Soil-transmitted helminth (STH) infection is one of the neglected tropical diseases in which preschool-age and school-age children had the highest number of the prevalence. The spread of STH infection can be caused by poor nail hygiene, especially in shared facilities such as orphanage. This study was a descriptive study with primary data from Al-Falah Orphanage, Anak Mentawai Gurun Laweh Orphanage, and Yayasan Kanzul Ulum Pasia Nan Tigo on October to December 2023. The sampling technique in this study was purposive sampling with 123 total samples. All samples were examined by direct microscopic examination with direct sedimentation method. The study found that from 123 samples, 1.6% samples were contaminated by Ascaris lumbricoides eggs and 0.8% samples were contaminated by hookworm eggs. It can be concluded that STH eggs were identified on fingernails of children in orphanages in the city of Padang which contributed as one of STH infection transmission factor. Therefore, promotive and preventive actions might be needed to prevent STH infection in orphanage children. Keywords: Nail hygiene, STH infection, orphanage children

2023 年 10 月至 12 月巴东市孤儿院儿童指甲上土壤传播蠕虫卵的分布情况

土壤传播蠕虫（STH）感染是一种被忽视的热带疾病，其中学龄前儿童和学龄儿童的发病率最高。甲沟炎的传播可由指甲卫生不良引起，尤其是在孤儿院等共用设施中。本研究是一项描述性研究，主要数据来自 2023 年 10 月至 12 月期间的 Al-Falah 孤儿院、Anak Mentawai Gurun Laweh 孤儿院和 Yayasan Kanzul Ulum Pasia Nan Tigo。本研究采用目的性抽样技术，共采集了 123 个样本。研究发现，在 123 个样本中，1.6% 的样本受到蛔虫卵污染，0.8% 的样本受到钩虫卵污染。因此，可能需要采取促进和预防措施来防止孤儿院儿童感染性传播疾病：指甲卫生、性传播疾病感染、孤儿院儿童
