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 (6.36 %), 3 children infected by (1.304 %), 3 children infected by (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.
本研究旨在调查印度尼西亚东爪哇省格雷西克市学龄儿童的土源性蠕虫感染情况。2023年7月至11月，在印度尼西亚东爪哇省格雷西克市选定的小学开展了一项采用横断面设计的分析性观察研究。采用逻辑回归分析评估各风险因素对感染传播可能性的影响。共对183名学龄儿童进行粪便中蠕虫卵检测。183名儿童的22份粪便样本蠕虫卵呈阳性，其中14名儿童感染蛔虫（6.36%），3名儿童感染鞭虫（1.304%），3名儿童感染蛲虫（1.304%），3名儿童感染钩虫（1.304%）。7岁儿童的感染率最高（31.8%）。在校时脱鞋的儿童感染几率更高，总体比值比为8.392（95%置信区间1.63 - 43.65）。在垃圾场玩耍的儿童感染几率更高，总体比值比为4.521（95%置信区间0.578 - 31.28）。饭前洗手的儿童感染几率更高，总体比值比为3.579（95%置信区间0.587 - 21.835）。因此，为降低格雷西克市学龄儿童土源性蠕虫感染率，我们建议改善学校卫生条件。政府应优先将所有小学纳入卫生课程，作为学校健康计划。
