Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the Dengue virus and transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This disease can attack all ages and can cause death. This research aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes and the role of jumantik cadres in preventing Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the work area of the Tanjung Baru Community Health Center UPTD. This research uses a correlational quantitative method with a cross sectional approach and a sample size of 318 people. The variables studied are presented in the form of a frequency distribution table and tested using univariate and bivariate analysis, namely by using demographic data questionnaire instruments, knowledge level questionnaires, education questionnaires and health worker support questionnaires. The research results concluded that the chi square test results showed a value of ρ 0.000, which means there is a significant relationship between knowledge and community attitudes towards dengue prevention efforts. "This research concludes that there is a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes towards dengue prevention efforts in the Tanjung Baru Community Health Center UPTD work area.

Abstract

Background: Clean and Healthy Living Practices (PHBS) are essential for preventing communicable diseases among adolescents, yet many junior high school students continue to demonstrate inconsistent hygiene behaviors despite exposure to school-based health programs. Objective: This study aimed to examine the correlation between knowledge and attitude with PHBS behaviors among adolescents in a junior high school setting. Methods: A cross-sectional design was employed, involving 39 students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring knowledge, attitude, and PHBS behaviors. Descriptive statistics were used to present frequency distributions, while Chi-Square tests examined the relationship between variables. Results: Most adolescents demonstrated poor knowledge (48.7%) and moderate attitudes toward PHBS. PHBS behaviors were mostly in the fair (46.2%) and poor (48.7%) categories. Cross-tabulation showed that adolescents with good or very good knowledge did not necessarily demonstrate better PHBS behaviors. Statistical analysis indicated no significant correlation between knowledge and PHBS (p = 0.74). Attitude also showed no significant association with PHBS. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude were not significantly related to PHBS behavior among adolescents, suggesting that cognitive and affective factors alone are insufficient to shape consistent hygiene practices. Multi-level interventions involving schools, families, and communities are needed to strengthen adolescent PHBS behaviors.
