Kelompok parasit cacing nematoda usus yang paling sering menyebabkan infeksi cacing adalah Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH). Anak sekolah dasar sangat rentan terhadap infeksi kecacingan karena personal hygiene yang buruk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui adanya hubungan personal hygiene dengan kecacingan STH pada anak SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 1 Kabupaten Banjar. Jenis penelitian ini adalah survey analitik dengan rancangan penelitian cross sectional. Populasi anak SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 1 dari kelas 1- 6 berjumlah 138 anak. Teknik sampling menggunakan Random Sampling sebanyak 103 anak. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui pemeriksaan laboratorium, dan observasi. Pada pemeriksaan telur cacing secara mikroskopis metode Kato-Katz, menggunakan spesimen feses segar. Pada hasil pemeriksaan feses didapatkan 15 anak (14,6%) dengan jenis spesies Ascaris lumbricoides sebanyak 24-48/gr feses dan 8 anak (22,3%) dengan spesies Trichuris trichiura 24-72/gr feses. Hasil data kuesioner personal hygiene baik ≤46 sebanyak 30 anak (29,1%) dan personal hygiene kurang baik >46 sebanyak 73 anak (70,9%).

The most common group of intestinal nematode parasites that cause worm infections is Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH). Primary school children are highly susceptible to worm infections due to poor personal hygiene. This study aims to determine the relationship between personal hygiene and STH worm infection among students at SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 1 in Banjar Regency. This research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional study design. The population consists of 138 students from grades 1 to 6 at SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 1. Random sampling technique was used to select 103 children. Data collection was done through laboratory examination, questionnaires, and observation. Microscopic examination of stool samples using the Kato-Katz method was conducted to detect worm eggs. The results showed that 15 children (14.6%) were infected with Ascaris lumbricoides species, with a density of 24-48 eggs per gram of feces, and 8 children (22.3%) were infected with Trichuris trichiura species, with a density of 24-72 eggs per gram of feces. The questionnaire data revealed that 30 children (29.1%) had good personal hygiene (≤46), while 73 children (70.9%) had poor personal hygiene (>46). Based on the Spearman correlation test analysis, it can be concluded that there is a relationship between personal hygiene and STH worm infection at SDN Keliling Benteng Ulu 1 in Banjar Regency, with a significance value of 0.000 (<ɑ=0.05). Future research should investigate the relationship between Soil Transmitted Helminth (STH) infection and environmental sanitation. Keywords : Elementary School Children,
