Abstract

Background: Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) remains a major public health problem in tropical regions, including Indonesia, due to high morbidity rates and environmental factors that support mosquito breeding. This study aimed to determine the influence of nurses and teachers in health education on changes in dengue prevention behavior in schools. Methods: This research used a single-group pretest-posttest experimental design with 90 respondents selected purposively. Changes in knowledge and behavior were assessed before and after the intervention. The intervention involved health education on dengue prevention, focusing on the 3M Plus method: draining, covering, recycling, and using larvicide. Results: The results showed a significant increase in the proportion of respondents with good preventive behavior, rising from 15.6% in the pretest to 91.1% in the posttest (p-value = 0.000). This indicates that health education significantly improves public knowledge and encourages positive behavioral changes in dengue prevention. Conclusion: Health education significantly improves dengue prevention behavior, raising good practices from 15.6% to 91.1%. Sustained community involvement and policy support are crucial for lasting impact.

Abstract

This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of elderly health cadres in providing first aid for abdominal cramps using a warm compress. The implementation method included health education through interactive lectures, discussions, and live demonstrations of warm compress techniques, followed by participant practice under facilitator guidance. The target audience consisted of six elderly health cadres and twenty-one elderly participants from the “Sekolah Lansia Tangguh” (Resilient Elderly School) in Dusun Curup Village, Rejang Lebong Regency. The results showed that after the counseling and practice sessions, 2 out of 6 elderly cadres (33.3%) and 4 out of 21 elderly participants (19.0%) were able to correctly demonstrate how to relieve abdominal cramps using a warm compress. In conclusion, education and mentoring for elderly health cadres have the potential to enhance community capacity in applying warm compresses as first aid for abdominal cramps. It is recommended that similar activities be carried out continuously to broaden the reach of knowledge and skills within the community.
