Abstrak: Infeksi saluran kemih (ISK) adalah keadaan adanya infeksi (ada pertumbuhan dan perkembangan bakteri) dalam saluran kemih yang meliputi infeksi di parenkim ginjal sampai infeksi di kandung kemih dengan jumlah bakteriuri bermakna yaitu ≥ 100.000 koloni / ml urin segar, infeksi ini sering di temukan pada anak dan merupakan penyebab kedua terbanyak mordibitas penyakit infeksi pada anak sesudah infeksi saluran napas. Sebelum usia 1 tahun, ISK lebih banyak terjadi pada anak laki-laki sedangkan setelahnya anak perempuan lebih dominan, rasio ini terus meningkat hingga di usia sekolah. Salah satu faktor penyebab ISK adalah  sirkumsisi, dimana anak laki-laki yang sudah disirkumsisi resiko ISK menurun dari 0,2 - 0,05% dari anak laki-laki yang tidak disirkumsisi. Anak laki-laki yang tidak di sirkumsisi, ISK terjadi karena daerah di bawah kulit prepusium sangat peka terhadap mikrolesi dan lingkungan yang lembab sehingga dapat memudahkan terjadinya infeksi. Jenis penelitian ini bersifat observasional analitik dengan rancangan cross sectional. Penelitian ini mengenai hubungan sirkumsisi dengan infeksi saluran kemih pada anak sekolah dasar Madrasah Ibtidayah yang menggunakan uji chi-square (x2) dan koefisien korelasi pada tingkat kemaknaan 95% (α0,05). Kesimpulan: Dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan didapatkan bahwa tidak adanya hubungan yang bermakna antara sirkumsisi dengan kejadian ISK pada anak sekolah dasar.

Before the age of 1 year, UTI is more common in boys, while girls are more dominant thereafter, this ratio continued to increase until at school age. One of the causes of UTI is circumcision, where the boys were already circumcised risk of  UTI decreased 0,2 to 0,05% of the boys who are not circumcised. The boys who are not circumcised, UTI occurs because the area under the foreskin is very sensitive to mikrolesi and humid environment so as to facilitate the infection. The type of study is observational analytic cross sectional design. The study about a circumcision relationship with Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) in primary school children Madrasah Ibtidayah with using chi-square test (x²) and the correlation coefficient at 95% significance level (α0,05). Conclusion: Based on the results of the study it can be concluded that there was no significant correlation between circumcisions with incidence of UTI in elementary school children.

Background: Pinworm infection remains a global public health problem in Indonesia, with the highest prevalence in primary school–aged children. The government has made helminthiasis control efforts through annual deworming every six months, yet data on the enterobiasis prevalence and its risk factors are still limited. Purpose: This research aimed to determine the role of personal hygiene and anthelmintic or worm medicine consumption in the prevention of enterobiasis among primary school children. Methods: This research employed an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional design. The population used was primary school children in the Public Health Center (PHC) of Kaliwungu area, Kendal District, Central Java Province. The research sample was 150 students from first grade to third grade at 1 Primary Elementary School 1 Kutoharjo. The data sources were obtained from interviews of risk factors and perianal swab examinations. The data were analyzed by a chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. Results: The prevalence of pinworm infection among primary school children remains high (37.33%). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that there are three determinant variables of pinworm infections: not washing hands with soap before eating (p < 0.01; Prevalence Odds Ratio (POR) = 6.47; 95% Confidence Interval [CI] = 2.87 < POR < 14.59); not washing hands with soap after defecation (p = 0.01; POR = 3.36; 95% CI = 1.40 < POR < 8.05); and not consuming anthelmintic drugs within the past six months (p = 0.03; POR = 2.43; 95% CI = 1.08 < POR < 5.50). Conclusion: Hand washing habits and annual deworming are important factors to prevent pinworm infections.
