Abstract

Rabies merupakan penyakit mematikan yang masih sering terjadi di masyarakat akibat rendahnya literasi mengenai pencegahan dan penanganan pertama pada gigitan hewan. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui efektivitas program edukasi berbasis simulasi dalam meningkatkan literasi masyarakat tentang rabies di Desa Poigar Dua, Sinonsayang, Minahasa Selatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah pre-experimental design dengan rancangan the one group pre-test post-test design. Populasi penelitian ini adalah masyarakat Desa Poigar Dua, dengan sampel sebanyak 33 partisipan yang dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sebelum intervensi, sebagian besar partisipan memiliki tingkat pengetahuan yang kurang (69,7%). Setelah intervensi, terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan menjadi baik (72,7%). Uji hipotesis menunjukkan perbedaan yang signifikan antara literasi masyarakat sebelum dan sesudah intervensi (p-value = 0,000). Program edukasi berbasis simulasi terbukti efektif dalam meningkatkan literasi masyarakat tentang pencegahan rabies dan penanganan awal gigitan hewan. Background: Rabies is a deadly disease that still frequently occurs in communities due to low literacy regarding prevention and first aid for animal bites.
