Abstract

Purworejo is among the districts with the highest malaria cases in Central Java, reaching 517 cases in 2021 and 544 cases in 2022. Kaligesing District, in particular, recorded the highest number of malaria cases in Purworejo Regency in 2022, with an API of 5.5 per 1000 population. The high incidence of malaria is influenced by various risk factors, including limited public understanding of malaria and community-based surveillance. Additionally, the less-than-optimal control of malaria vectors in the community contributes to this issue. The objective of this service is to reduce malaria cases in Kaligesing District by enhancing the understanding of Village Malaria Cadres and Interpreters (JMD) regarding malaria surveillance and vector control. The method involves providing surveillance assistance and conducting malaria vector control training for cadres and JMD. Results from this program indicate a significant improvement in participants' general knowledge. The paired samples t-test revealed an average score of 58.2% before training and 79.6% after training, with a p-value 0.0001. This demonstrates a substantial difference in participants' knowledge before and after training. Consequently, this activity is deemed successful in enhancing the knowledge of cadres and JMD regarding malaria surveillance and vector control.
