Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the risk of physical home sanitation against acute respiratory infections in children under five in Labuan Regency, Central Sulawesi.

Method: This study was done in Labuan District, Donggala Regency, from July 31 to October 28, 2021, as an observational study with a Case Control Study technique. All children under the age of five who have ARI in the Labuan Health Center Work Area, Labuan District, Donggala Regency, are included in the study. The research was approved by the Makassar Ministry of Health Poltekkes Ethics Committee Number 1068/KEPK-PTKMKS/IX/2020 on the basis of its ethical feasibility.

Results: The physical sanitation condition of the house that does not meet the requirements for dust content is 52.9%. Home ventilation 58.6%. The lighting conditions are 47.1% and the humidity of the house is 35.7%. Bivariate analysis showed that there was a relationship between dust levels and the incidence of ARI (p=0.000), ventilation conditions with the incidence of ARI (p=0.000), lighting with the incidence of ARI (p=0.001) and humidity with the incidence of ARI (p=0.005) in children. in Labuan District, Donggala Regency. The incidence of ARI is more common in children aged 0-2 years, and the incidence of ARI has no difference between male and female sexes. Multivariate analysis showed that dust content (p=0.000 CI95% OR=9.56) and ventilation (p=0.001 CI95% OR=6.08) were the main variables that caused ARI in children in Labuan District, Donggala Regency.

Conclusion: The main variables causing ARI in children in Labuan District, Donggala Regency are dust content (OR = 9.56) and ventilation (OR = 6.08)
