Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains one of the public health issues that needs to be watched out for, especially in areas with high population density. One simple, inexpensive, and effective vector control effort is the use of ovitraps as traps for Aedes aegypti mosquito eggs. This community service program was implemented in Hajimena Village with the aim of increasing residents' understanding and skills in making and utilizing ovitraps as a preventive measure against DHF. The methods used included socialization, practical training in making ovitraps, installation at mosquito breeding sites, and monitoring for four weeks. The participants consisted of 33 residents, cadres, and village health workers. The results of the activity showed a 14.58% increase in residents' knowledge based on pre- and post-tests, as well as an increase in skills in making ovitraps. These findings prove that ovitraps not only function as a means of vector control but are also effective as an applicable, inexpensive, and sustainable educational medium. Therefore, this program is expected to be widely implemented as a community empowerment strategy in dengue fever prevention efforts.

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a significant public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia and Malaysia. Population mobility, environmental changes, and limited community participation in vector control contribute to the persistence of dengue transmission. This community service activity was conducted in Hajimena Village, South Lampung Regency, on October 30, 2025, as a promotive and preventive effort in community-based dengue prevention. The program aimed to improve community understanding and awareness of dengue prevention through integrated health education and the utilization of ovitraps as a simple and environmentally friendly appropriate technology. The activity was implemented through collaboration between the Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Malahayati, and Universiti Putra Malaysia using a participatory education approach, interactive discussions, and hands-on practice in making and installing ovitraps. The evaluation was conducted using a qualitative descriptive approach through participatory observation, group discussions, and participant feedback. The results indicated an improvement in participants’ understanding of dengue, the life cycle of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, and the importance of environmental-based vector control. Participants also demonstrated interest and readiness to independently apply ovitraps in their residential environments. This activity highlights that cross- institutional and cross-national collaboration can strengthen promotive and preventive efforts in community-based dengue control.
