“…The relationship of using gloves when working with the incidence of worm infections, is not significant. This result is in line with research Imansyah (19) showing that stated no significant relationship between the use of PPE (gloves or shoes) and STH infection. This indicates that the STH infection does not originate in the workplace but may originate elsewhere.…”

Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) infection can occur at all ages, from children to the elderly. Farmers are at risk of contracting STH infection because of their daily work which is in direct contact with the soil. The risk of STH infection is due to poor personal hygiene and environmental sanitation. The study aims to determine observe the factors associated with STH infection in vegetable farmers, using a cross-sectional approach. The research subjects were vegetable farmers in Batur Wetan Hamlet, Getasan, Semarang Regency. Data were collected using a questionnaire to determine the personal hygiene and sanitation hygiene of farmers when working in the garden. Worm identification used (reference,) based on the worm performance using the floating method. Worm identification were done by examining the stool using the floating method. The results of the study were processed using SPSS version 20. Data analysis using Chi-Square (α = 5%), found 3 positive study subjects infected with STH, consisting of 1 egg of Ascaris lubricoides and 2 eggs of Trichuris trichiura. Positive STH respondents, have a washing by water and soap habits before eating and defecating, without wearing gloves. There was a relationship between hand washing by water and soap habits before eating to worm infection, but no relationship between this habit after defecating and no wearing gloves to worm infection. Vegetable farmers are advised to change the daily habits and maintain personal hygiene after working. use personal protective equipment when working and maintain personal hygiene.

“…Dentro de los factores de riesgo y su asociación con infecciones parasitarias, se encontró un estudio realizado en Alejandría (Egipto), donde se detectaron 12 especies de parásitos en los trabajadores estudiados, y se determinó que su principal fuente de riesgo es el contacto directo con residuos fecales (28). Adicionalmente, en Banda Aceh (Indonesia) se estudiaron la infecciones helmínticas transmitidas por el suelo y se determinó que el 21,37 % de los trabajadores estudiados estaba infectado por Trichuris trichiura (29). En Cañas y Tilarán (Costa rica) se analizaron cinco agentes biológicos como hepatitis vírica, VIH, tuberculosis y hepatitis.…”

Introducción: En la prestación del servicio público de aseo a nivel mundial, los trabajadores, se encuentran continuamente expuestos a múltiples factores de riesgo que pueden afectar su integridad personal, mediante la ocurrencia de accidentes o enfermedades laborales, dentro de las actividades que agrupa la prestación de este servicio se encuentran la disposición, recolección, almacenamiento, transporte y disposición final de residuos así como el barrido, limpieza de vías, corte de césped, poda de árboles. Objetivo: realizar una revisión bibliográfica descriptiva de los factores de riesgo laborales asociados a la recolección de residuos sólidos urbanos dentro de la prestación del servicio público de aseo tanto a nivel internacional como nacional. Metodología: Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica descriptiva con un enfoque narrativo usando palabras clave validadas en tesauros, en idioma inglés y español entre ellas factores de riesgo, ergonomía, residuos sólidos, segregadores de residuos sólidos y se seleccionaron artículos en un intervalo de tiempo de 15 años, extrayendo la información de 50 referencias seleccionadas. Resultados: Se encontró que los factores de riesgo más estudiados están relacionados con los riesgos ambientales, psicosociales, biológicos, mecánicos y ergonómico, en donde en este último el trastorno musculoesquelético (TME) es el factor más predominante detectado en los artículos consultados. Conclusiones: Dentro de los factores de riesgo más prevalentes son riesgos ergonómicos y riesgo biológico, teniendo en cuenta las posturas que realizan para la ejecución de las actividades y el contacto directo con los desechos

Background: Helminthiasis is a neglected tropical disease and still remain a health problem in tropical and sub-tropical countries, including Indonesia. According to WHO, approximately 1,5 billion people or 24% of the world’s population, are infected with Soil-Transmitted Helminth (STH). Morbidity is directly related to the intensity of STH infestation. Some of the studies shown a significant correlation between eosinophilia and helminthiasis. Eosinophilia on the blood smear examination may be used as a marker of STH infestation. Purpose: to determine the correlation between Soil-Transmitted Helminthiases and eosinophilia as a predictor of morbidity of STH infestation among Widodaren Plantation Workers in Jember. Methods: This observational analytical study use the Kato-Katz method to determine infestation of STH and its intensity measured by egg count per gram stool (EPG). Blood smear examination stained with Giemsa conduct to determine eosinophil count. Results: Prevalence of STH infestation was 22,7% (15/66). Ascaris lumbricoides infection was 13,6% (9/66) and Hookworm infection was 4,5% (3/66). There is mixed infection between A. lumbricoides and Hookworm, the prevalence was 4,5%% (3/66). All of the infection intensity was light. The prevalence of eosinophilia was 27,2% (18/66). There was a significant correlation between STH infection and eosinophilia (P=0,000) but, there was a very weak correlation between the intensity of STH infection and eosinophilia (r=0,281; p=0,258). Conclusion: The prevalence of STH infection among Widodaren Plantation Workers is 22,7% and predominated by A. lumbriocides. There is a positive correlation between intensity of STH infection and eosinophilia as predictor morbidity of STH infection with very weak power.
