HUBUNGAN KEPADATAN HUNIAN DAN VENTILASI KAMAR DENGAN KEJADIAN PENYAKIT ISPA DI DESA WARENG SRUWOHREJO, PURWOREJO

Abstract

Background: According to WHO in 2012, 78% of children under five visited health services due to ARI. ARI is more common in developing countries than developed countries with percentages of 25%-30% and 10%-15% respectively. Intrinsic risk factors include age, sex, nutritional status, immunization status. Extrinsic risk factors include residential density, and room ventilation. Acute Respiratory Infections (ARI) are the leading cause of infectious disease morbidity and mortality in the world. Nearly four million people die from ARI every year, 98% of which are caused by lower respiratory tract infections. Mortality rates are very high in infants, children, and the elderly, especially in countries with low and middle income per capita. Likewise, ARI is one of the main causes of consultation or hospitalization in health care facilities, especially in the child care section. The risk factors associated with the incidence of ARI are extrinsic and intrinsic factors. Extrinsic factors consist of ventilation, occupancy density, floor type, window area, kitchen location, use of fuel types and ownership of smoke holes. While the intrinsic factors consist of age, gender, nutritional status, immunization status, giving vitamin A during childbirth/toddlers and breastfeeding

Objective: To determine the relationship between occupancy density and room ventilation with the incidence of ARI in children under five.

Methods: This type of research is non-experimental analytic correlation with a case control approach. Samples were taken using the total sampling method, the data were processed and analyzed using the Spearman Rank test. This research was conducted in Wareng Sruwohrejo Village. Purworejo.

Results: The incidence of ARI in Wareng Village in the UPT Puskesmas Sruwohrejo area was known with the following results: room ventilation age category (r) = 0.491 and sig = 0.000 and occupancy density (r) = 0.435 and sig = 0.000.

Conclusion: There is a significant relationship between occupancy density and room ventilation with the incidence of ARI in Wareng Sruwohrejo Village, Purworejo.

Keywords: ARI incidence, Occupancy Density and Room Ventilation
