Impact of an educational intervention on hygiene knowledge and practices among municipal waste and sanitation workers in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa

Municipal waste and sanitation workers (street sweepers, latrine cleaners, and waste transporters) play a crucial role in maintaining public health by providing a safe and clean environment. They accomplish this by performing tasks such as sweeping streets, collecting domestic waste regularly, pit latrine cleaning, cleaning public toilets, and operating waste collection trucks. Nonetheless, they play an important role in mitigating health-related challenges by ensuring a clean and healthy environment through correct waste collection and disposal practices. Therefore, safe waste collection is a critical undertaking that safeguards the health and living conditions of individuals worldwide. However, their hygiene-related knowledge and practices remain low due to a lack of educational intervention programmes on hygiene. Therefore, the study investigated the impact of an educational intervention on hygiene knowledge and practices amongst municipal waste and sanitation workers in Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM). The study used a quasi-experimental study, one group, (pre- and post-test) design, using an educational intervention. A total of 201 municipal waste and sanitation workers were conveniently sampled in the study from all five municipal waste depots and six wastewater treatment plants in the NMBM. A self-administered, structured, hard-copy questionnaire was used to collect the participants’ demographic data and a pre-intervention assessment on hygiene-related knowledge and practices. An educational intervention based on existing literature and national environmental cleaning guidelines and policies was implemented, and after a minimum gap of two months following the intervention, participants were asked to complete the postintervention questionnaire. The collected data was captured in a QuestionPro survey platform and analysed in Microsoft Office 365 (2019 version) and R software (version 4.4.1). The knowledge and practice items were further evaluated for internal reliability using the Cronbach’s alpha technique. Inferential statistics were used to analyse and describe the data, including tests such as Pearson’s correlations, student t-tests, analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multivariable linear regression analysis. A total of 201 participants, comprising 148 (73.6%) males and 53 (26.4%) females, participated in the study. Of the 201 participants, 95 (47.3%) indicated that 2 they had never heard of hygiene-related diseases. The study participants had poor knowledge and practices regarding hygiene prior to the educational intervention. Based on the paired samples t-test, there was a significant difference post-intervention phase in the mean scores for hygiene knowledge of 4.0 (±4.8), p<0.001 as well as hygiene practice scores of 4.3 (±3.4), p<0.001. Output obtained from the multivariable linear regression analysis revealed that participants working in Depot (A) (β=-2.82, p=0.005) were less knowledgeable about hygiene compared to those in Depot (B) in the pre-intervention phase. Participants who have not heard of hygiene-related diseases (β=-3.05, p<0.001) were significantly less knowledgeable about hygiene than their counterparts who have previously heard about hygiene-related diseases. Participants older than 51 years of age had poorer knowledge (b=-0.09, p=0.919) regarding hygiene when compared to the participants who were 18-30 years old. Furthermore, only female participants (b=1.44, p=0.022) and the Coloured ethnic group (b=1.44, p=0.050) had good hygiene practices when handling waste, compared to male participants and those of Black African ethnicity. The study's findings highlight the significant positive impact of an implemented educational intervention programme amongst municipal waste and sanitation workers on improving their knowledge of hygiene-related diseases and hygiene practices when discharging their duties. However, predictor factors such as working environment, educational training background, age, and race significantly influenced the impact of the implemented educational programme. The ongoing implementation of similar initiatives is highly recommended amongst municipal waste and sanitation workers, thus preventing hygiene-related infections amongst the studied population and fostering a healthier environment.Thesis (MSc) -- Faculty of Science, School of Behavioural & Lifestyle Sciences, 202

INTERPRETASI MAHASISWA BANDUNG TENTANG VIDEO KAMPANYE LAYANAN MASYARAKAT (Reception Analysis Pada Video WWF Indonesia Versi “Beli Yang Baik”)

Kampanye layanan masyarakat adalah sebuah kampanye yang dibuat untuk mengubah perilaku masyarakat kearah yang lebih positif, salah satunya adalah kampanye Beli Yang Baik yang dicanangkan oleh WWF indonesia. Penelitian dengan judul “Interpretasi Mahasiswa Bandung Tentang Video Kampanye Layanan Masyarakat (Reception Analysis pada video WWF Indonesia versi Beli Yang Baik)” bertujuan untuk mengetahui bagaimana mahasiswa Bandung menginterpretasi video kampanye layanan masayarakat “Beli Yang Baik”. Untuk mendapatkan data penelitian, penulis menggunakan teknik observasi dan wawancara mendalam kepada beberapa informan yang telah ditentukan berdasarkan beberapa kriteria tertentu. Melalui penelitian ini, penulis ingin mengetahui bagaimana khalayak meresepsi sebuah tayangan dengan menggunakan model ‘encoding-decoding’ Stuart Hall yang membagi kemungkinan khalayak menjadi tiga posisi yaitu dominan hegemoni, negosiasi, dan oposisi. Penelitian ini menggunakan metodologi kualitatif dengan metode reception analysis yang berasumsi bahwa khalayak tidak begitu saja menerima wacana yang ditawarkan oleh media dan menegosiasikan berdasar pada latar belakang pengalaman dan pengetahuan yang dimiliki oleh audiens. Hasil yang dari penelitian ini dapat disimpulkan bahwa masing-masing informan memiliki interpretasinya masing-masing yang dipengaruhi oleh latar belakang yang dimilikinya. Berdasarkan posisi decoding informan, terdapat 1 informan pada posisi dominan hegemoni, 3 informan pada posisi negosiasi, dan 1 informan pada posisi oposisi
