Identifikasi Trichomonas vaginalis pada Urine Remaja Santriwati Pondok Pesantren Bangkalan Madura

Remaja santriwati di lingkungan Pondok Pesantren, berisiko terinfeksi Trichomonas vaginalis apabila kebersihan reproduksi tidak dijaga dengan baik. Trichomonas vaginalis merupakan protozoa uniseluler penyebab utama infeksi menular seksual (IMS), dan infeksi ini dikenal sebagai trikomoniasis. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya Trichomonas vaginalis pada urine remaja santriwati pondok pesantren di wilayah Bangkalan. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif, dengan metode pemeriksaan mikroskopis Wet Mount, yaitu meneteskan endapan urin hasil sentrifugasi ke kaca objek tanpa pewarnaan, lalu ditutup dengan cover glass, setelah itu diamati di bawah mikroskop. Sebanyak 48 sampel urin santriwati diperiksa menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukan 1 sampel (2,08%) positif dan 47 sampel (97,92%) negatif terhadap Trichomonas vaginalis. Berdasarkan hasil kuesioner, sebagian besar responden memiliki personal hygiene yang baik. Namun, responden yang teridentifikasi positif memiliki personal hygiene yang kurang baik, seperti berbagi handuk, tidak menvuci pakaian dalam sendiri secara rutin, serta menggunakan pakaian dalam yang masih lembap. Selain itu, kondisi sanitasi lingkungan di tempat tinggal bersama dapat berperan dalam meningkatkan risiko infeksi. Diasimpulkan bahwa Trichomonas vaginalis masih ditemukan pada sebagian kecil sampel urin remaja santriwati di pondok pesantren wilayah Bangkalan Madura. Oleh karena itu penerapan personal hygiene yang baik, menjaga kebersihan sanitasi lingkungan, edukasi kesehatan reproduksi dan deteksi dini tetap diperlukan sebagai upaya pencegahan infeksi

Female adolescent students in Islamic boarding schools are at risk of Trichomonas vaginalis infection if they do not maintain proper reproductive hygiene. Trichomonas vaginalis is a unicellular protozoan and the primary cause of sexually transmitted infections (STIs); this infection is known as trichomoniasis. This study aims to determine the presence of Trichomonas vaginalis in the urine of female adolescent students at boarding school in the Bangkalan region. This is a descriptive study using the Wet Mount microscopic examination method, which involves placing a drop of centrifuged urine sediment onto a microscope slide without staining, covering it with a cover slip, and then observing it under a microscope. A total of 48 urine samples from female adolescent students at boarding school were examined using purposive sampling. The results showed that 1 sample (2.08%) tested positive and 47 samples (97.92%) tested negative for Trichomonas vaginalis. Based on the questionnaire results, the majority of respondents practiced good personal hygiene. However, respondents who tested positive exhibited poor personal hygiene practices, such as sharing towels, failing to wash their own underwear regularly, and wearing damp underwear. Additionally, poor environmental sanitation conditions in shared living quarters may contribute to an increased risk of infection. It was concluded that Trichomonas vaginalis was still detected in a small proportion of urine samples from female adolescent students at boarding school in the Bangkalan, Madura region. Therefore, the practice of good personal hygiene, maintaining environmental sanitation, reproductive health education, and early detection remain necessary as preventive measures against infection
