Abstract

Background: Handwashing refers to the practice of using soap and water to clean one's hands, both externally and between the fingers. Avoiding the spread of diarrhea, an infectious disease, requires regular handwashing. The goal of this research is to examine how SDN 009 Loa Janan Ilir students' handwashing knowledge and skills changed after receiving health education in the form of puzzles. Methods: A non-random control group design was used in this quasi-experimental study. The treatment group was SDN 009 Loa Janan Ilir, and the comparison group was SDN 007 Loa Janan Ilir. Each school used a sample size of 53 students. Media with a puzzle theme was provided to the treatment group, while media with a PowerPoint theme was provided to the comparison group. The data was analyzed using Wilcoxon and Mann-Whitney tests.   Results: A bivariate analysis demonstrated that both participants' knowledge and skills improved after being exposed to health education content presented in puzzle form. After receiving health education, there was a statistically significant difference in both the knowledge and competence levels of handwashing between the treatment and comparison groups (ρ-values of knowledge ρ=0.032 and ρ-values of skill ρ=0.000). Conclusion: Students at SDN 009 Loa Janan Ilir learned new information and improved their handwashing skills after obtaining health education via puzzle media, according to the results of this study.

Abstract

Background: Dengue fever is an acute mosquito-borne infection caused by the dengue viruses and has become a growing public health concern globally. One of the causes is the lack of knowledge about the 3M Plus campaign, especially among children in the school-age group. The objective of this research is to identify the impact of sticking pictures as health promotion media to prevent dengue fever on elementary school fifth-graders’ knowledge and attitude. Methods: This research uses a pre-experimental type with a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The population of this research consisted of all fifth-grade students, followed by 39 persons chosen utilizing proportional random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. The primary data for this research were collected through the distribution and completion of close-ended questionnaires. The data analysis method was carried out using the Wilcoxon signed-ranks test. Results: The results show that there is a significant impact of the use of sticking pictures as health promotion media on elementary school fifth-graders’ knowledge (p = 0.01) and attitude (p = 0.01) towards dengue fever prevention after they were given sticking pictures. Conclusion: The use of health promotion media with sticking pictures affects elementary school fifth-graders’ increasing knowledge and attitude about DHF. The implication of this finding is that educators should consider integrating sticking pictures as health promotion media into their teaching methods to enhance students’ knowledge and attitude towards dengue fever prevention.
