| dc.description.abstract | The Medan City Health Department reported 6 cases of dengue fever (DF) with 1 fatality in Kedai Durian Village in 2022, resulting in a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 16.7%. Poor physical environmental conditions of homes are one of the environmental factors that can contribute to the occurrence of DF. This study aims to determine the relationship of house physical environmental factors and the residents behavior with the incidence of DHF in Kedai Durian Village, Medan Johor Sub District. This study employs a Cross-Sectional design with Accidental Sampling, involving a sample size of 95 participants. Data collection was conducted directly by the researchers through observation and interviews using a research questionnaire. The result showed that there is a significant relationship between lighting and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001), humidity and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001), temperature and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001), the number of water container and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001), type of water container and DF incidence (p-value = 0.002), 3M Plus behavior (Drain, Cover, and Recycle plus prevention actions) and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001), and clothes-hanging behavior and DF incidence (p-value = 0.001). In conclusion, lighting, humidity, temperature, number of water container, type of water container, 3M Plus behavior, and clothes-hanging behavior are all significantly related to DF incidence in Kedai Durian Village, Medan Johor District. It is recommended that the community maintain a healthy home environment and adopt health-compliant behaviors. | en_US |
