Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health threat in South Aceh, Indonesia. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the DHF control program at Lhok Bengkuang Health Center using input, process, output, outcome indicators. A descriptive qualitative study was conducted from December 2024 to January 2025. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with officers from the South Aceh Health Office, the health center chief, program coordinators, and affected community members. Thematic analysis followed Miles and Huberman’s approach. Triangulation and member checking ensured data validity. DHF cases declined from 22 in 2023 to 7 in 2024. Control activities included source reduction (PSN), larviciding, fogging, health education, epidemiological investigations, and vector surveys. However, the Larvae Free Index (ABJ) remained below the national target of 95%. This indicates partial effectiveness, constrained by limited entomology staff and inadequate personal protective equipment for fogging. Strengthening resources and aligning local implementation with national standards are essential to sustain progress. The DHF control program effectively reduced cases but requires reinforced human resources, adequate equipment, and improved community engagement to meet national targets

Abstract

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) represents an essential effort to reduce the occurrence of occupational accidents and must be worn by every worker. In practice, however, a number of workers remain non-compliant in wearing it while on duty. This research sought to examine how knowledge and attitude relate to the completeness of PPE use among employees of PT X. The study applied a cross-sectional design involving 36 workers who were determined through the total sampling technique. Information was gathered using questionnaires and subsequently processed with the Chi-Square test. Findings revealed no meaningful association between knowledge and the completeness of PPE use (p-value = 0.710), and likewise no meaningful association between attitude and the completeness of PPE use (p-value = 0.264). It is therefore concluded that neither knowledge nor attitude is linked to the completeness of PPE use among PT X workers. The findings are expected to provide a reference for the company in strengthening occupational health and safety practices through improved supervision and guidance.
