The Relationship Between Education Level, Use of Ventilation Using Wire Gauze, and Use of Mosquito Repellent with The Incidence of Filarisis in Indonesia (Data Analysis Of Riskesdas 2018)

Abstract

Filariasis is a chronic parasitic infectious disease caused by filarial worms with mosquitoes as vectors. More than 120 million people worldwide are directly affected by filariasis. Behavioral factors such as wire netting and using mosquito repellent are essential to support the success of filariasis prevention efforts. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between education level, installation of wire gauze ventilation, and use of mosquito repellent with the incidence of filariasis in Indonesia. This study used secondary data from Riskesdas in 2018 with a cross-sectional research design. The sampling technique was total sampling with a total sample of 903,449 respondents. The research analysis used frequency distribution, chi-square, and multiple logistic regression tests. The results showed no relationship between the level of education and the incidence of filariasis with p = 0.857. There is a relationship between the use of wire gauze ventilation with the incidence of filariasis with p = 0.001. There is a relationship between the use of mosquito repellent and the incidence filariasis with a value of p = 0.015. The use of wire gauze ventilation is the most dominant variable associated with the incidence of filariasis in Indonesia based on Riskesdas data in 2018 with p = 0.001. There is a relationship between the use of wire gauze ventilation and the use of mosquito repellent with the incidence of filariasis. Ventilation using wire gauze is the most dominant variable associated with the incidence of filariasis in Indonesia based on Riskesdas data in 2018.
