Abstract

This study aims to investigate the soil-transmitted helminth infection among school-age children in Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. An analytical observational study with a cross-sectional design was conducted from July to November 2023 in selected elementary schools in Gresik, East Java, Indonesia. Logistic regression analysis was employed to assess the impact of each risk factor on the likelihood of infection transmission. A total of 183 school-age children were screened for the occurrence of helminth eggs in their feces. Twenty-two feces samples from 183 children were positive for helminth egg, consisting of 14 children infected by Ascaris lumbricoides (6.36 %), 3 children infected by Trichuris trichiura (1.304 %), 3 children infected by Oxyuris vermicularis (1.304 %), and 3 children infected by Hookworm (1.304 %). The highest prevalence was found in 7-year-old children (31.8 %). Children who pulled off shoes while in school were more likely to be infected with an overall OR of 8.392 (95 % CI 1.63 - 43.65). Children who played in the dumpsite were more likely to be infected with an overall OR of 4.521 (95 % CI 0.578 - 31.28). Children who washed before eating were more likely to be infected with an overall OR of 3.579 (95 % CI 0.587 - 21.835). Therefore, to lessen the prevalence of STHs among school-age children in Gresik, we recommend improving hygiene conditions in schools. The government should prioritize enrolling all primary schools in hygiene classes as the school health program.

印度尼西亚东爪哇Gresik学龄儿童的蠕虫病。
本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚东爪哇省Gresik地区学龄儿童土壤传播的寄生虫感染情况。本研究于2023年7月至11月在印度尼西亚东爪哇省Gresik选定的小学进行了一项采用横断面设计的分析性观察研究。采用Logistic回归分析评估各危险因素对感染传播可能性的影响。对183名学龄儿童进行了粪便中寄生虫卵的筛查。183例儿童共22份粪便标本检出虫卵阳性,其中蚓蛔虫14例(6.36%),毛缕虫3例(1.304 %),蛭形Oxyuris 3例(1.304 %),钩虫3例(1.304 %)。患病率最高的是7岁儿童(31.8%)。在学校脱鞋的儿童更容易被感染,总体OR为8.392 (95% CI 1.63 - 43.65)。在垃圾场玩耍的儿童更容易被感染,总体OR为4.521 (95% CI 0.578 - 31.28)。饭前洗手的儿童更容易被感染,总体OR为3.579 (95% CI 0.587 - 21.835)。因此,为了减少Gresik学龄儿童中性传播感染的流行,我们建议改善学校的卫生条件。政府应优先在所有小学开设卫生课程,作为学校健康计划。
