Abstract

Malaria is an infectious disease that is most widely spread throughout the world area between 60° North latitude and 400 South Latitude. The distribution of species is not the same. Plasmodium vivax is the most widely distributed in tropical, subtropical, and four-season areas. Based on WHO data, the world malaria report states that prevention and control measures will be expanded to help reduce deaths and illnesses from malaria. Of the 3.3 million lives saved, most came from the 10 countries with the highest malaria burdens and children under five years of age, the group most affected by the disease. According to WHO, child mortality fell below 500,000 in 2012. Based on data from the South Kalimantan Provincial Office, in 2014 there were 16,029 malaria cases with 4,761 positive cases. This study aims to determine the relationship between the use of insecticide-treated mosquito nets and the incidence of malaria in Simpang Empat District, Tanah Bumbu Regency. This research is a cross-sectional quantitative research using the analytic observational method. The population of this study was working household heads, with a sample size of 272. This study found a strong relationship between the use of mosquito nets and the incidence of malaria, with non-users 2.1 times more likely to develop malaria than users. Using insecticide-treated bed nets at night can greatly reduce the risk of malaria.
