We found that the risk factors for stroke in Timor-Leste are high blood pressure, smoking, high cholesterol, Alcohol consumption, and physical inactivity. We conclude that Timor-Leste people need to manage and control their lifestyle to control hypertension, smoking, maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, limiting alcohol consumption, managing cholesterol, maintaining a healthy weight, and getting regular medical check-ups can help monitor risk factors for stroke.

Abstract

Introduction: Dengue fever, a mosquito-borne viral disease, causes significant public health problems, especially in countries with limited human resources for disease control and prevention. In Timor-Leste, every year, a new outbreak of dengue fever occurs. Objective: The study aimed to find out the Health Intervention for Dengue Prevention. Method: This study utilized quantitative descriptive research with a cross-sectional approach, targeting 97 households in Dili Municipality. A purposive sampling technique was used, and data were collected using a questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and Pearson's Product-Moment correlation were used to analyze the data. Result and Discussion: The study found that health promotion is effective to preventing dengue with a success rate of 47.4% and a failure rate of 22.7%. A significant correlation was found between health promotion and dengue fever prevention. Fumigation was found to be the most effective method, with a 50.5% success rate and a 29.9% failure rate. Slaughter was also found to be effective, with a 45.4% success rate and 29.9% failure rate. Health promotion in preventing dengue fever in Timor-Leste is important. Conclusion: However, a lack of awareness and understanding hinders progress. Bottom-up strategies should involve all community members, not just those following best practices. The Ministry of Health is implementing fumigation campaigns, but environmental control, awareness raising, adoption, and empowerment are also needed.
