Abstract

Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) merupakan kelompok cacing usus yang penularannya terjadi melalui tanah yang terkontaminasi telur atau larva infektif. Penjual tanaman termasuk kelompok pekerja yang berisiko terpapar infeksi Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) karena aktivitas kerjanya melibatkan kontak langsung dengan tanah, pupuk, dan media tanam yang berpotensi terkontaminasi. Kurangnya penerapan personal hygiene, seperti tidak mencuci tangan dan tidak menjaga kebersihan kuku, dapat meningkatkan risiko terjadinya infeksi kecacingan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi keberadaan cacing Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) pada kuku tangan penjual tanaman di wilayah Merr, Surabaya Utara. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode flotasi ZnSO4 33%. yang melibatkan 20 penjual tanaman. Sampel yang digunakan berupa potongan kuku tangan responden yang diperiksa secara mikroskopis untuk mengidentifikasi adanya telur, larva, atau cacing Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). Data hasil pemeriksaan kemudian dianalisis secara deskriptif dan disajikan dalam bentuk tabel serta persentase. Hasil penelitian pada seluruh sampel potongan kuku tangan yang diperiksa menujukkan hasil negative yaitu tidak tidak ditemukan telur, larva, cacing Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). Jenis cacing yang ditemukan berasal dari kelompok Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH) yang umum menginfeksi manusia melalui media tanah. Keberadaan telur, larva, cacing pada kuku penjual tanaman menunjukkan bahwa kebersihan kuku tangan masih menjadi faktor penting dalam penularan kecacingan pada kelompok penjual tanaman. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dapat disimpulkan bahwa penjual tanaman di wilayah Merr, Surabaya Utara memiliki risiko terpapar infeksi Soil Transmitted Helminths (STH). Oleh karena itu, diperlukan peningkatan edukasi mengenai personal hygiene, kebersihan lingkungan, serta penerapan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat untuk mencegah terjadinya infeksi kecacingan.

================================================================================

Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) are a group of intestinal worms transmitted through soil contaminated with infective eggs or larvae. Plant sellers are a group of workers at risk of STH infection because their work involves direct contact with soil, fertilizers, and potentially contaminated growing media. Poor personal hygiene practices such as failing to wash hands or maintain clean fingernails can increase the risk of helminth infections. This study aimed to identify the presence of STH in the fingernails of plant sellers in Merr area of North Surabaya. The study employed the 33% ZnSO4 flotation method and involved 20 plant sellers. Fingernail clippings from the respondents served as samples and were examined microscopically to detect the presence of STH eggs, larvae, or worms. The examination data were analyzed descriptively and presented in tables and percentages. All fingernail samples tested negative; no STH eggs, larvae, or worms were found. The types of worms associated with this group are those that commonly infect humans via soil. The potential presence of STH eggs, larvae, or worms on plant sellers’ fingernails indicates that fingernail hygiene remains a crucial factor in the transmission of helminth infections within this occupational group. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that plant sellers in Merr area of North Surabaya, are at risk of STH infection. Therefore, increased education regarding personal hygiene, environmental cleanliness, and the adoption of clean and healthy living habits is necessary to prevent helminth infections.
