Faktor-Faktor yang Mempengaruhi Kejadian Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) di Wilayah Kerja Puskesmas Monta

When examining the Incidence Rate (IR) and Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of dengue fever cases from 1990 to 2015, Indonesia consistently ranked among the highest globally. In 2022, the NTB region reported a total of 3,193 dengue cases, resulting in 8 fatalities. Research from the Bima District Health Office recorded 584 confirmed cases from January to April of that year, while Monta Health Center reported 79 cases in 2023. This study aims to identify factors influencing dengue fever incidence within the Monta Health Center’s jurisdiction. A quantitative, ross-sectional research design was employed, with a total sample size of 40 drawn using total sampling methods. Findings indicate no significant association between nutritional status and dengue incidence (p=0.170), but there is a significant relationship between environmental factors and dengue cases (p=0.01), as well as between knowledge levels and dengue cases (p=0.00). Recommendations include that Monta Health Center staff conduct educational sessions on the importance of maintaining nutritional status, environmental hygiene, and health awareness, by promoting clean and healthy living behaviors (PHBS) among the local community.
