Abstract

Dengue fever (DHF) is a major public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia, due to high morbidity and environmental factors that support mosquito breeding. This study analyzed the role of health education in improving awareness and preventive behavior in remote communities under Puskesmas Kota Padang, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province. A one-group pretest-posttest design was applied to 90 purposively selected respondents. They were assessed before and after health education focusing on the 3M Plus method: draining, covering, recycling, and using larvicide. Results showed significant improvement in preventive behavior, with good practices increasing from 15.6% at pretest to 91.1% at posttest (p = 0.000). The findings indicate that health education effectively enhanced knowledge and promoted positive behavior toward dengue prevention. Continuous community involvement and government support are needed to sustain outcomes. Structured education programs are crucial to reducing dengue transmission, and further studies should explore long-term adherence and policy integration.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease characterized by prolonged elevated blood glucose levels that can lead to organ damage. Many adolescents have a diet high in sugar, fast food, and sugary drinks, as well as a lack of physical activity due to gadget use and a sedentary lifestyle. These habits can lead to obesity and insulin resistance, which are major factors in the development of diabetes. The problem is worsened by limited adolescent knowledge regarding the definition, risk factors, symptoms, and prevention of diabetes mellitus. Attitudes and perceived risks related to diabetes, including the importance of physical activity, treatment, prevention of complications, and risk control, also remain low. Therefore, assessing adolescents’ knowledge and attitudes about diabetes mellitus is essential. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge and attitudes and perceived risks related to diabetes mellitus among adolescents. The study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The population consisted of adolescents at SMAN 4 Kota Pangkalpinang, with a sample of 277 respondents selected through simple random sampling. The instruments used were a knowledge questionnaire and an attitudes and perceived risk questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rho test. The results showed a significant relationship between knowledge and attitudes and perceived risks related to diabetes mellitus (p value 0.00, r 0,405). The study recommends providing health education for adolescents to improve their understanding of diabetes mellitus.
