Hal-Hal yang Ada Hubungan dengan Kecacingan pada Anak di Beberapa Lokasi di Wilayah Indonesia periode Tahun 2005 sampai dengan Tahun 2020

Introduction

Hal-hal yang ada hubungan dengan kecacingan pada anak di beberapa lokasi di wilayah indonesia periode tahun 2005 sampai dengan tahun 2020. Analisis hubungan kecacingan pada anak di Indonesia (2005-2020). Temukan faktor risiko seperti kebersihan tangan, kuku, alas kaki, kontak tanah, dan pengetahuan ibu.

Abstract

Worms are infections of intestinal parasitic worms from the class of intestinal Nematodes that are transmitted through soil, or called Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) consisting of roundworms (Ascaris Lumbricoides), whipworms (Trichiuris trichiura), and hookworms (Necator Americanus and Ancylostoma Duodenale). The purpose of this study was to find out the things that have a relationship with worms in children in several locations in Indonesia for the period 2005 to 2020. The research method is an analyticalresearch by synthesizing the results obtained by twelve scientific research journals with a case control research design. The results showed that there were things that had a relationship with worms in children in several regions in Indonesia, namely there was a significant relationship between hand washing habits (p value = 0.000), nail hygiene (p value = 0.000), use of footwear (p value = 0.000), contact with the ground (p value = 0.011), and mother's knowledge (p value = 0.000). against worms. So, helminthiasis in children in several locations in Indonesia for the period 2005 to 2020 has a significant relationship with hand washing habits, nail hygiene, use of footwear, contact with soil, and mother's knowledge

Review

This review evaluates a study titled "Hal-Hal yang Ada Hubungan dengan Kecacingan pada Anak di Beberapa Lokasi di Wilayah Indonesia periode Tahun 2005 sampai dengan Tahun 2020," which translates to "Things Related to Worm Infestation in Children in Several Locations in Indonesia from 2005 to 2020." The study addresses a critical public health issue: soil-transmitted helminthiasis (STH) in children, specifically focusing on *Ascaris lumbricoides*, *Trichuris trichiura*, and hookworms. The primary objective was to identify factors associated with STH in Indonesian children over a substantial period, from 2005 to 2020, through a synthesis of existing research. The research employed an analytical method, synthesizing findings from twelve scientific journals that utilized a case-control research design. This approach provides a valuable secondary analysis, consolidating evidence across multiple primary studies, which can offer a more robust overview than individual studies. The key findings indicate significant relationships between STH and several factors: hand washing habits (p=0.000), nail hygiene (p=0.000), use of footwear (p=0.000), contact with the ground (p=0.011), and mother's knowledge (p=0.000). While the synthesis of multiple studies is a strength, the abstract does not detail the systematic review process, such as search strategy, inclusion/exclusion criteria, or quality assessment of the primary studies, which would further strengthen the methodological rigor. The study's findings are highly significant for public health, reinforcing well-established risk factors for STH within the specific context of Indonesia over a 15-year period. The identification of modifiable factors like hygiene practices (hand washing, nail hygiene), environmental exposure (footwear use, ground contact), and caregiver knowledge underscores clear targets for intervention. Future research could enhance this work by explicitly detailing the systematic review methodology, potentially including a meta-analysis to quantify the strength of these associations, and exploring how these relationships might have evolved over the extended study period in response to public health initiatives. This synthesis provides a strong basis for developing targeted health education and sanitation programs to combat STH in Indonesian children.
