Abstract

Background: Helminthiasis is a group of diseases caused by parasitic worms and remains a persistent public health challenge in Indonesia, with the heaviest burden borne by agricultural communities. Due to frequent exposure to contaminated environments, pig farming presents a substantial risk for parasitic infections, including nematode infestations. This study aims to examine the association between work duration and the incidence of helminthiasis among pig farmers in Bongan Village, Tabanan

Methods: This study employed an analytical observational approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 30 pig farmers from Bongan Village, Tabanan, were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through laboratory examination of fecal samples and structured interviews using questionnaires. Descriptive analysis was conducted, followed by Fisher’s Exact Test to assess the association between work duration and helminthiasis.

Results: The prevalence of helminthiasis was 10% (3 of 30 respondents). Three respondents tested positive for helminthiasis, with two for Taenia sp. eggs and one for Ascaris lumbricoides eggs. The statistical test showed an increased risk of helminthiasis among individuals with a work duration of >35 years (POR: 16.1; 95% CI: 1.8–145.3; p = 0.032) compared to those with ≤35 years. The result indicated a statistically significant association between work duration and helminthiasis.

Conclusion: There is a significant association between work duration and the incidence of helminthiasis among pig farmers in Tabanan. Strengthening personal hygiene practices and ensuring consistent use of protective equipment are recommended to reduce the risk of infection.
