Abstract

Rabies is a zoonotic disease that can attack humans through dog bites. Various methods have been performed for prevention, including socialization activities about rabies. The aim of community service, conducted by the Clinical, Reproduction, Pathology, and Reproduction Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine, Nusa Cendana University in Kualin Village, was to increase knowledge about rabies. Socialization was a method to increase awareness about rabies in the Kualin community, which this method using the Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) approach. The ABCD concept consists of 1). Identification of community assets; 2). Partner involvement; 3). Participation of the community service team; and 4). Partnership collaboration. The poster was one of the communication, information, and education (KIE) tools for transferring knowledge. Based on the results of the pre-and post-test, it shows that this method is quite successful where public knowledge about the symptoms of animals infected with rabies (58.82% to 88.23%), symptoms of humans infected with rabies (35.29% to 76.47%), and assistance if bitten by infected dogs (76.47% to 88.23%) increased significantly. So, this method can be applied to socialize other animal diseases that cause economic losses to the Kualin community.

Abstract

Rabies is a zoonotic disease caused by Lyssavirus with a case fatality rate reaching 100%. Lack of public understanding is the main factor in the transmission of rabies to humans. The purpose of this activity is to increase students' preparedness at SMPN 6 Kupang to prevent and treat rabies through educational outreach. The educational approach includes outreach, poster distribution, and educational songs about rabies. Evaluation was carried out using a pre-test and post-test. The outreach activities showed an increase in students' understanding of the definition of rabies, namely from 57.1% to 90.4%; symptoms of rabies in animals from 90% to 93.8%, animals that transmit rabies from 71.9% to 89%, and various other aspects of rabies prevention and treatment. Based on the comparison of pre-test and post-test results, there was an increase in knowledge about rabies, but the difference was not significant. This demonstrates the success of efforts by various parties to communicate about the dangers of rabies to the children of SMPN 6. However, an educational approach through structured, interactive socialization remains effective in increasing the school community's preparedness to face the threat of rabies.
