Abstract

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infections are the most widespread neglected tropical diseases, primarily affecting morbidity in School Age Children (SAC). STH infection in SAC remains a public health problem in Martapura River Banks. Early and accurate STH detection is essential to determine an effective treatment for reducing morbidity. The Health Department recommends detecting STH infection by Kato Katz (KK) but in public health centers only by the direct method. This research objective is to confirm STH infection prevalence by Kato-Katz (KK) in elementary school children in West Martapura River Banks, South Kalimantan, Indonesia, against the direct method. The modified KK templates were developed from acrylic material. A total number of 253 children 7-12 years old in four West Martapura elementary schools were examined for STHs eggs using both microscopies modified KK against direct method by two trained laboratory technicians. STHs infection prevalence was 50 (19.76%), interpreted as low prevalence by direct and 78 (30.83%), moderate by KK. The concordance between both methods was significantly based on Cohen’s kappa (?=0.682). Even though the concordance of both methods was strong, the prevalence of STHs by modified KK was 30.08% higher than by Direct, which was only 20.33% positive. This study recommended using the KK for STHs diagnostic for prevalence measurement in low STHs infection.

Abstract

Scabies is a skin disease caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mite. Scabies is transmitted through direct or indirect physical contact regardless of socioeconomic status, gender, or age, especially in Islamic boarding schools. The high prevalence of scabies is caused by less personal hygiene and environmental sanitation dan Clean Healthy Lifestyle (PHBS) behavior. This PKM aims to improve knowledge, personal hygiene, environmental sanitation, and PHBS behavior in preventing scabies in Darul Hijrah Putra Martapura (DHP) Islamic Boarding School students. The implementation method was counseling, questionnaires, observation, early detection of scabies, treatment, and assistance in habituating PHBS for 3weeks to 53students of DHP. The results of microscopic examination with adhesive tape method showed 9(16.98%) students were positive for scabies, 6(11.32%) of them had mild symptoms and 3(5.66%) students had severe symptoms. The treatment was carried out for the positive scabies students. The results of evaluation after this PKM are scabies students have recovered, there is an increase in knowledge to 100% good after counseling, PHBS habituation results in the booklet and 52(99%) students increase in PHBS behavior scores, personal hygiene increases to a good category 45(84.91%) students. And the category is not good, with only 8(15.06%) students and the sanitation of the dormitory environment is quite good, except for the occupancy density, that 36m2 rooms occupied by 16 students (standard 1 person/9m2). There is an improvement in facilities and infrastructure. It is recommended to partners continue PHBS habituation assistance and carry out early detection on prospective students before enter DHP boarding schools.
