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.

Abstract

Introduction: Climate change exerts a significant impact on human life and health globally. As a preeminent global health issue of the 21st century, climate change alters ecosystems, environmental conditions, and disease transmission patterns. These impacts represent a profound challenge to global public health infrastructure. Objective: This study aims to systematically review the relationship between climate change and environmentally mediated diseases. Method: This research employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, adhering to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines. Data were retrieved from six scientific databases: Google Scholar, PubMed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, Semantic Scholar. Results and Discussion: The findings indicate that climate variability including extreme temperatures, high humidity, flooding, drought, and air pollution plays a pivotal role in elevating the risk of various environmentally mediated diseases. The most frequently reported conditions include diarrhea, dengue fever, respiratory tract infections, scabies, cholera, and leptospirosis. Conclusion: Integrated climate change mitigation and adaptation strategies are essential. These must be coupled with the strengthening of public health systems, improved sanitation, and the development of community-based disaster preparedness to protect high-risk groups from the health-related consequences of climate change.
