Diarrhea Incidence in Tanah Bumbu, South Kalimantan, Under A Spatial Approach

Abstract

Indonesia has seen an increase in diarrhea incidence from 4.5% in 2013 to 6.8% in 2018. South Kalimantan, diarrhea is still a common disease with a relatively high incidence rate. In Tanah Bumbu itself, the incidence of diarrhea from 2014 to 2019 was among the top 10 most common diseases. The percentage of patients served in 2019 was 33.26% of the detection targets. While in infants, only 3.4% of the number of detection targets. This study aims to see the spatial description and influence of the districts’ condition in Tanah Bumbu Regency with the diarrhea incidence. This research took place in the ten districts of Tanah Bumbu Regency. The analysis used in this study was SAR to see the relationship between districts and the incidence of diarrhea and other factors. The results showed that in Tanah Bumbu, factors that affected the incidence of diarrhea include population density (p-value 0.0001), access to quality drinking water (p-value 0.0001), and health facilities (p-value 0.0001).

Effect of Population Density and Altitude on COVID-19 : A Spatial Pattern

“…A spatial approach can help see the distribution pattern of the spread of infectious diseases, including Covid-19. The spatial approach can help to see the distribution pattern with specific characteristics, such as population density, public service locations, stations, places of worship, health services, and others (Sembiring et al, 2022). The spatial approach can detect clusters of disease cases and analyze patterns of disease spread that has the potential to become extraordinary events (KLB) or pandemics in the community (Saran et al, 2020).…”
