The Analysis of Environmental Risk and the Use of Repellent on Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in Kamonji Public Health Center

Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever is an infectious disease caused by dengue virus and transmitted by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. The data of DHF patients of Public Health Department Palu of 2014 were 580 patients, in 2015 were 653 patients and 2016 were 637 patients. The data indicate that the incidence of DHF in Palu City in 2014-2016 fluctuates. This research aims to find out the Environmental Risk Analysis and the Use of insect repellent on Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at Kamonji Public Health Center Palu. The type of research used in this research is observational research using case control method. The case subjects were DHF patients and the control group was people who did not suffer from DHF in the working area of Kamonji Public Health Center. Case samples were 93 and control 93 by matching sex, age and case location. Sampling was done with total sampling. The research analysis used odd ratio test. The results show that the use of mosquito repellent (OR=3.870 and CI=2.099-7.138), waste processing (OR=2.895 and CI=1.593-5.261), water reservoir (TPA) (OR=2.005 and CI=1.118-3.596), exposure (OR=3.018 and CI=1.660-5.486), and ventilation (OR=2.292 and CI=1.274-4.123) is a risk factor of DHF at Kamonji Public Health Center Area Palu City in 2016. To cope with the risk of DHF incidence should always behave healthy and clean the environment in around the home.

Health Workers' Anxiety Experience Against Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever During Rainy Season: A Phenomenological Study

“…There are two ways of prevention, namely: eradicating adult mosquitoes and fogging using insecticides (Sutriyawan & Akbar, 2022). The fumigation is very effective and quickly breaks the chain of transmission because mosquitoes will soon die if they come into contact with insecticide particles (Rau et al, 2019). Eradicating larvae, eliminating their breeding, and eradicating mosquito nests can be done by draining water storage areas, such as baths/WCs.…”

“…DHF sufferer usually experience bleeding, shock, and even death (Irma & Masluhiya AF, 2021). Often the species of mosquito thrives in water reservoirs that are rarely cleaned, bathtubs, used cans, used tires, and certain places that can hold water, especially during the rainy season (Rau et al, 2019).…”
