Abstract: Correlation between
the density of flies (Musca domestica) with the incidence of diarrhea in
children under five years in the settlements around the Disposal Area of
Garbage Namo Bintang Kecamatan Pancur Batu Kabupaten Deli Serdang in 2012.
Diarrhea is a disease indicated by the increase in number of defecation more than usually (three or more a day)
for less than 14 days associated with the changes in shape and
consistency of feces of the patients. The present study intented to know the
correlation between the density rate of
flies and the incidence of diarrhea around the Disposal Area of Garbage. The
design of the study was an analytic
descriptive using cross-sectional
design with 60 samples of
household with infants. The data were collected by measuring the density rate
of flies, interview, and observation. The data were analyzed by using
univariate statistic test and then followed by bivariate test by using
chi-square (X2). The result of the study showed that there was a significant correlation between the density
of flies and the incidence of diarrhea in infants. It could be
indicated by the sig-p (0.0001) ≤ 0.05. The other factors that had
significant correlation to the incidence
of diarrhea included attitude of the mothers in washing their hands p=0.0001
((p≤0.05), their attitude in closing the
food p=0.0001 (p≤0.05), using the clean water p=0.0001 (p≤0.05), and using
the drinking water p=0.0001 (p≤0.05).
The conclusion of the study was that there was a correlation between the density of flies and the
incidence of diarrhea in infants. Therefore, it was suggested to the
mothers of infant to install the screen on the window and ventilation,
