Analysis of Risk Factors for Dermatomycosis in Patients Seeking Treatment at Unyur Community Health Center, Serang City
Abstract
Dermatomycosis or superficial fungal infection (SFI) is one of the most common fungal skin infections suffered by the world community and often occurs in countries with tropical climates. The prevalence of SFI itself is still very high at around 20%-25% of the world's population. Data on the prevalence of SFI in Indonesia cannot be found with certainty. Dermatomycosis spreads through skin contact, poor sanitation, wearing contaminated items and consumption of immunosuppressive drugs. Dermatomycosis is not life-threatening but greatly interferes with daily activities. This study aims to determine the risk factors associated with the occurrence of dermatomycosis cases in patients seeking treatment at the Unyur Health Center. This study used observational analytical method with cross-sectional design. The subjects studied were dermatomycosis patients who sought treatment at the Unyur Health Center in Serang City. Samples were taken by consecutive sampling of 41 workers. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires and medical records. Data were analyzed using Fisher's Exact test and Chi-Square test. The prevalence of dermatomycosis in patients who seek treatment at the Unyur Health Center in Serang City is 56.1%. There was no significant relationship between the level of patient hygiene and sociodemographic factors of patients with the incidence of dermatomycosis at the Unyur Health Center.
