Abstract

The unfavorable climate conditions in recent weeks have become a breeding ground for mosquito larvae, which can lead to a public health issue known as Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). If not addressed properly, it can lead to extraordinary incidents and even result in death. The prevention and control measures for DBD have not been adequately addressed, therefore requiring community involvement in efforts to eradicate mosquito breeding sites in residential areas. Method: Observation by visiting residents' homes to conduct mosquito larvae inspections, distribute larvicides (Abate powder), and provide direct education to household members about dengue fever, as well as distribute leaflets about dengue fever. Results: Out of the 27 houses visited, it was found that 12 houses (92.3%) had mosquito larvae, while 9 houses (64.3%) did not have mosquito larvae in RT 014/RW 005. In RT 003/RW 001, 1 house (7.7%) had mosquito larvae, while the remaining 5 houses (35.7%) did not have mosquito larvae. There are various types of water storage containers where mosquito larvae were found, including bathtubs, buckets, dispensers, drums, and flower vases.

Abstract

The increase in life expectancy has led to a significant increase in the elderly population in Indonesia, where the proportion reached 11.82% by 2023. The elderly are a vulnerable group to non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hyperuricaemia, which are the leading causes of morbidity and decreased quality of life. This study aimed to improve elderly knowledge regarding NCDs and identify health risk factors through health education and screening activities. A one-group pretest-posttest design was conducted involving 32 elderly participants at the Himo-Himo Social Institution for the Elderly in Ternate City. Health education was provided, followed by screening for blood pressure, blood glucose, and uric acid levels. Data were analysed descriptively, while differences in knowledge scores before and after the intervention were assessed using a paired sample t-test. The results showed a significant increase in knowledge after the intervention (p = 0.000; t = -4.256). Screening results revealed that 84.4% of participants had elevated systolic blood pressure, indicating a high risk of hypertension, while 75.0% showed abnormal diastolic blood pressure. In addition, 56.3% of participants had elevated blood glucose levels, suggesting a risk of diabetes mellitus, and 71.9% had elevated uric acid levels, indicating hyperuricemia. Health education and NCD screening effectively improved elderly knowledge and facilitated early detection of health problems. These activities are essential and should be implemented routinely as part of preventive and promotive health efforts to improve the quality of life among older adults.
