Abstract

The use of used syringe needles, permanent tattoos, and sharing razors has a risk of being exposed to infectious diseases, including hepatitis B disease. People in Dili city, Timor-Leste, are still practicing those habits. Therefore, research was conducted to find out the influence of the use of used syringe needles, permanent tattoos, and sharing razors toward the case of hepatitis B infection in Dili city, Timor-Leste. The research was conducted using a descriptive correlative method. The statistical analysis used the binary logistic regression on a significance level of 5%. The research sample was taken by using a multistage random sampling method which gave 116 persons as the total sample. The result showed that simultaneously, there was a significant influence (p<0.05) between the use of used syringe needles, permanent tattoos, and sharing razors toward hepatitis B virus infection with a score of the influence of 22.0%.
