Hubungan Faktor Lingkungan Fisik Rumah dan Perilaku dengan Kejadian ISPA pada Balita di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Tampo: Relationship between Physical Home Environment and Behavior with ARI in Toddlers in the Tampo Health Center Working Area

Abstrak

Acute Respiratory Tract Infection (ARI) in toddlers remains a public health problem in Muna Regency, particularly in the Tampo Community Health Center service area, as indicated by the high number of cases each year. Physical home environment and family behavior are suspected to contribute to the incidence of ARI in toddlers. This study used a quantitative approach with an analytical observational method and a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of 304 mothers with toddlers, with a sample of 120 respondents selected using simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using the chi-square test with SPSS. The results showed no relationship between home ventilation (p = 0.568), floor condition (p = 0.885), wall condition (p = 0.885), and use of mosquito repellent (p = 0.672) with the incidence of ARI (p > 0.05). However, population density (p = 0.016) and smoking behavior (p = 0.001) were significantly associated with the incidence of ARI (p < 0.05). In conclusion, ventilation, floor conditions, wall conditions, and the use of mosquito repellent are not related to ISPA, whereas population density and smoking behavior are related to ISPA in toddlers
