Joint Model Innovation on The Participation of Junior High School Students in DHF Prevention In Jambi City

Abstract

Background: There is no vaccine or cure for dengue fever, the incident always occurs every year, investigation and observation activities for infectious diseases are carried out continuously and continuously, to explain disease patterns, study the history of the disease and provide basic data for controlling and overcoming the disease.  Aedes sp is a mosquito that can cause dengue haemorrhagic fever. Several factors influence the spread and transmission of dengue fever, poor hygiene conditions, drinking water supply and proper waste disposal. Schools are areas that have characteristics such as households having clean water reservoirs and eating and drinking activities, so that waste produced by waste that is not managed properly during the rainy season will become a medium for storing clean water, and can become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.

Method: This research is a quasi-experimental design (quasi-experiment), with a non-equivalent control group design. Results: Modelling (videos, leaflets and counselling) in understanding dengue fever in junior high school (SMP) students is very important for junior high school students in disseminating information to the household (parents/family), the environment around the household and even their peers.

Conclusion: Modelling that has duration 30 minutes has effect of increasing student actions in dengue fever control at Jambi City.
