Abstract

Background: Efforts to prevent and control DHF in Palu City are still inadequate. The lack of community participation in the implementation of 3M causes the density of Aedes aegypti larvae to be high.

Objective: To analyze the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of larva monitoring interpreters before and after being given health education in reducing dengue cases.

Methods: This type of research is a quasi-experimental, with one group pre and posttest design. Carried out in Palu City, Central Sulawesi Province and Pasang Kayu Regency, West Sulawesi Province. The sample size is 98 Jumantik cadres. The interview study instrument used a set of previously validated and tested questionnaires. Informed consent was taken from all respondents and confidentiality was guaranteed throughout the study. Data were analyzed using SPSS with Paired T-test dependent  

Results: Knowledge about ways to prevent DHF increased the highest from the pre-test (20.10) post-test (51.77) which means that it increased by 32.3% p = 0.000, the smallest increase in knowledge about the spread of DHF was the pre-test value ( 12.9) post-test (14.2) means an increase of 1.3% p=0.003. The attitude that increased the most was the effort to control DHF with a pre-test value (9.4) post-test (48.2%) increased by 38.8% p = 0.000, while the smallest increase was the attitude of responsibility for controlling DHF with a pre-test value. -test (53.32) post-test (53.50) increased by 0.18% p=0.737. The behavior with the highest increase in value was about larval control with a pre-test score (4.75) post-test (37.78) means an increase of 33.0% p = 0.000, while the smallest increase is the behavior of draining the water tank with the pre-test (26.87) post-test (35.83) increasing 8.96% p = 0.002.

Conclusion: Health education through counseling methods is effective in increasing the knowledge, attitudes and behavior of Jumantik Cadres in preventing dengue fever in Palu City, Central Sulawesi and Pasangkayu Regency, West Sulawesi
