ABSTRACT Title : The Relationship Between the \"Kamase-masea\" Barefoot Tradition and Helminthiasis Incidence in Children of the Ammatoa Indigenous Community Background : In communities with poor sanitation and substandard clean living behaviours, soil-transmitted helminths (STH) infection remains a neglected tropical illness and a public health hazard. STH infection, particularly by Hookworm worms, can occur through the penetration of larvae into the skin when a person comes into direct contact with contaminated soil, for example when not wearing footwear. In school-age children, this infection can cause anemia, malnutrition, growth disorders, decreased immunity, and impaired cognitive development which has an impact on learning achievement. In the Ammatoa Kajang indigenous community, the Kamase-masea philosophy which includes the tradition of not wearing footwear is part of a cultural value that has the potential to increase exposure to Hookworm infection. This calls for more research into whether or not these cultural behaviours contribute to the high worm prevalence in youngsters. In the Ammatoa region, this research intends to examine the correlation between the prevalence of Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infections, particularly Hookworm, and the traditional practice of not wearing shoes among children aged 5 to 12 years. Methods : This research will be conducted in SDN 351 Ammatoa Area in December 2025 and will employ an analytical observational design with a cross-sectional method. Sixty children, ranging in age from five to twelve, were chosen for the study by means of purposive sampling. The traditional practice of not wearing footwear is used as an independent variable in this research, while the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection is used as the dependent variable. In order to evaluate the incidence of STH infection, we examined faecal samples using the direct slide technique and used questionnaires to gather data on the practice of wearing footwear. Following that, the data were examined using the Chi-square test, and after that, multivariate binary logistics regression was used with a significance threshold of p < 0.05. Results: Among children ages 5 to 12, the most frequent species of soil-transmitted helminths (STH) was hookworm, which affected 15.0% of the population. There was a total of 31.7% infection with STH. Bivariate analysis using the Chi-square test revealed a statistically significant association between the incidence of STH infection and the practice of not wearing footwear (p = 0.012). After adjusting for potential confounding factors in a multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, however, the significance of the connection faded. In contrast, the incidence of STH infection was most strongly correlated with family wealth. (p = 0.008; OR = 0.240). Conclusion: After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the connection between traditional barefoot behaviours and the incidence of Soil-Transmitted Helminths (STH) infection was no longer significant in bivariate analysis. Among children in the Ammatoa Area who are between the ages of 5 and 12, family income is the single most important factor influencing the prevalence of STH infection. }, issn = {2502-7085}, pages = {325--333} doi = {10.14710/jkli.82342}, url = {https://ejournal.undip.ac.id/index.php/jkli/article/view/82342} }
