Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through mosquito bites. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector. However, other species such as Aedes albopictus can also be vector transmitters. Some of the factors that influence the occurrence of DHF include low immunity status of community groups and increased mosquito population density due to the large number of breeding places in the rainy season. Currently, DHF is still a common disease and is one of the main public health problems in Indonesia. The number of cases of dengue fever in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 as many as 1,213 cases, and in 2017 as many as 542 cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between behavior and the incidence of dengue fever in the working area of ​​the Bakunase Health Center, Kupang City. This study was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. Data were collected in January-February 2020. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with the incidence of DHF, while action has a significant relationship with the incidence of DHF. Community empowerment efforts related to preventive measures need to be prioritized so that the risk of DHF disease can be reduced.

Abstract

Papela Village is one of the coastal villages on Rote Island where most of the population works as fishermen. This work has been carried out by the people of Papela Village for generations. However, health problems caused by fishermen's work and work environment have not received serious attention. This study aims to obtain an overview of the occupational health status of catch fishermen in Papela Village, Rote Timur District, Rote Ndao Regency. This research is a descriptive study with a quantitative approach. A total of 71 people randomly selected were assigned as research respondents. Fishermen's health status is determined based on three parameters, namely anemia status, muscle complaints, and skin diseases. The results showed the occupational health status of catch fishermen in Papela Village as much as 60.6% had a low occupational health status and 39.4% of the people had a high occupational health status. The low health status of fishermen was caused by anemia with a proportion of 26.8%, musculoskeletal complaints with a proportion of 19.7%, and skin disease with a proportion of 38%. It can be concluded that the occupational health status of fishermen in Papela Village is still low and needs to be improved through efforts to minimize the negative influence of the risk factors.

Determining the informants in this study used a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that each stage of work undertaken to produce a stone ready for use at the Laicici stone cutting site, Kangeli Village, had different dangers and risks. The low-risk level was the risk of falling and hearing loss. The moderate risk was a pain in the lower back and being pinched and crushed by stones. High risk was found in the risk of slipping, fatigue, working time > 8 hours per day, dehydration and heat-related illness, and the risk of eye irritation. The extreme risk was the risk of fatigue caused by working more than 8 hours every day and the risk of injury caused by sharp work tools. Controls that can be carried out to reduce or eliminate the hazards and risks at the stone cutting site for stone cutting workers are substitution, administrative control, engineering control, and the use of self-protective gears
