Analisi Faktor Risiko Malaria Di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Sarmi Kota, Kabupaten Sarmi, Tahun 2012
Abstract: Several factors have
potential to accommodate the spread and cause of malaria include environmental,
physical, condition housing, and comunity behaviour. People in the working area
of the Sarmi Municipal Public Health Service, Sarmi District, have high risk
behavior of being exposed by malaria disease. In addition, physical condition
of housings are still far below healthy standard. Slumps area and bushes around
the environment under study have contributed to poor health condition. The
presence of cattle cages nearby the houses have been considered to cause the
vast growing malaria-bound mosquitos.
Methode: This study aimed to find out the relationship between
environmental conditions nearby the houses, physical conditions, housing
comunity behaviors and malaria incidence in the working area of Sarmi Municipal
Public Health Service, Sarmi District, Sarmi Regency, Papua Province. This
observational study applied a restropective study with a case control approach,
in which case group – those who suffered from malaria – were compared with
control group. The case group consisted of 57 respondents, whereas the control
group consisted of 57 respondents. Data were subject to univariate and bivariate
analyses using a Chi-square technique. To calculate the risk factor, the study
applied an odd ratio and to find out the simultaneous relationship meaning (p)
between independent variables and the dependent variables the study applied a
multivariate analysis. This analysis was then correlated with a logistic
regression.
Result: Results of the study showed the following outputs: 1) a
relationship between water slumps and malaria (OR 5.827); 2) a relationship
between bushes and malaria (OR 3.232); 3) a relationship between window
ventilation filters and malaria (p value : 0.014; OR 2.773); and 4) a
relationship between type of houses and malaria (OR 3.714).
Conslusion: The study concluded that the presence of water slumps
contributed to the growth of mosquito larvae. The malaria risk factors related
to the installation of window ventilation filters, types of houses, and the
presence of bushes nearby the housings. These risk factors have affected the
malaria incidence in the working area of Sarmi Municipal Public Health Center
as much as 99.9%.
