ENHANCING STUDENT KNOWLEDGE IN DENGUE HEMORRHAGIC FEVER CONTROL THROUGH EDUCATIONAL MODELING

Aims. Dengue fever lacks a vaccine and cure, with annual occurrences consistently documented. Continuous investigation and monitoring of infectious diseases serve to elucidate the disease's patterns, requiring a comprehensive historical analysis and fundamental data for effective disease control and management, specifically regarding Aedes spp. mosquitoes as the carriers. This study aimed to analyze the impact of educational interventions on the control of dengue hemorrhagic fever among students in Jambi City. Materials & Methods. This experimental study was conducted a non-equivalent control group design. The study was carried out between July and October ۲۰۲۲, encompassing ۹ junior high schools in Jambi city, Indonesia. A total of ۲۲۵ students who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected to participate. For the purpose of data analysis, the non-parametric Wilcoxon test. Findings. Research findings revealed a monthly larval-free rate of ۹۵.۵, accompanied by a persistent monthly Dengue Fever incidence from July to October, averaging ۷.۷ cases. Post-modeling, a noticeable improvement in student knowledge regarding dengue hemorrhagic fever control was observed, attributed to the implementation of the ۳M approach, as validated by a significant Wilcoxon test value of <۰.۰۵. Conclusion. This study concludes that educational modeling, implemented across ۹ junior high schools in Jambi city, effectively enhances students' knowledge in controlling dengue hemorrhagic fever through the application of the ۳M strategy within the Jambi City region
