Abstract

Soil Transmitted Helminth is species of nematodes that use soil as their transmission media. The most important species of soil transmitted helminths in human being are Ascaris lumbricoides, Ancylostoma duodenale, Necator americanus, Trichuris trichiura and Strongyloides stercoralis. Soil Transmitted Helminth infection has a high prevalency in children of developing country and associated with poor living condition and bad sanitation. The infection may cause malabsorption and disturbance in mental and physical growth, especially in children. Purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between soil transmitted helminth infection and nutritional status The study uses cross sectional analytic epidemiological survey. It was held in SDN 313, 314 and 315 Tegal Binangun Kecamatan Plaju Palembang from March 24 until April 24, 2005. Population of the study is all of the students of SDN 313, 314 and 315 Tegal Binangun. One hundred samples were taken by using stratified random sampling. The study begun by giving presentation about soil transmitted helminth infection and prevention of the infection to all students. After the presentation, the samples were given questionnaire and bottle to collect their faeces. The collected faeces was examined in laboratory by using Kato Katz Method. To measure nutritional status, anthropometry method was used by measuring sample’s body weight and height. Standard of Depkes RI and Standard of CDC is used for the estimation. To analyze the data, Chi Square Test is used. The study shows that 42% of students were infected by Soil Transmitted Helminth. Based on Standard of Depkes RI, 62% have good nutritional status and the rest 38% medium nutritional status. The nutritional status measurement by using chart of CDC USA results in 71 % of the samples in good nutritional status and 29% in bad nutritional status. Result of the statistical test indicates that there is relationship between soil treansmitted helminth infection and nutritional status based on either Standard of Depkes RI or Standard of CDC USA. From this study, it is expected that the Information about soil transmitted helminth infection and the prevention can be spread larger, not only to the children but also to their parents in order to reduce soil transmitted helminth infection.lt is also suggested that the test and medication for soil transmitted helmith infection is held annually for the students of elementary school.
