Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health concern in tropical countries such as Indonesia, particularly during the rainy season. Early education and awareness are crucial in minimizing morbidity and mortality caused by the disease. This community engagement activity aimed to improve knowledge and awareness among patients, families, and visitors at UPT RSUD Labuang Baji Makassar regarding the prevention and early identification of DHF. The program involved structured health education sessions using a Satuan Acara Penyuluhan (SAP) plan, which included presentations, discussions, and distribution of educational materials such as posters and leaflets. The sessions were conducted in inpatient wards, engaging patients and their families. The intervention enhanced participants’ understanding of DHF symptoms, transmission, critical phases, and preventive measures such as maintaining environmental hygiene, proper water management, and promoting healthy behaviors. Increased motivation among family members was observed in taking part in preventive actions at home and in their communities. Health education efforts targeting both patients and their families are effective in raising awareness and promoting behavioral changes for DHF prevention. Continuous collaboration between healthcare providers and the community is essential to sustain preventive measures and reduce the incidence of DHF.

Abstract

HIV/AIDS is an Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome(AIDS) disease, namely a collection of symptoms of the disease caused by the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) found in human body fluids. This disease is a global health threat because cases continue to increase, so it requires substantially innovative health services with effective prevention such as educational counseling, and counseling by health workers, it is very important to pay attention to how the disease is transmitted. This disease counseling provides general information on preventing HIV AIDS with the hope that sufferers will continue to live socially well, improve their quality of life and prevent new cases and improve continuous treatment services for sufferers. Counseling with lecture, discussion and question and answer methods by both sufferers and the general public, prevents unpleasant stigma and discrimination in society against HIV AIDS sufferers, the results of this activity found that 80% of respondents knew about HIV/AIDS and 20% of respondents did not know, therefore this counseling provides information to the public that what should be avoided is the disease, not the sufferer.
