The Dengue fever, which is spread by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, causes Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever, an infectious disease. It is very dangerous if not handled right away, as it can lead to death. Dengue fever is still prevalent in a private hospital in Balikpapan. According to hospital data, there were 234 cases of dengue fever between November 2018 and February 2019. The aim of this study is to determine the level of family awareness about DHF among inpatients in a private hospital in Balikpapan. The sampling methodology used in this analysis was purposive sampling with a quantitative descriptive procedure and a cross-sectional approach. The sample size for this analysis was 50 people. The instrument used was a questionnaire about DHF management and control established by the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia (Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, 2018). Univariate analysis was used to analyze the results. The age group of 26 years to 35 years was dominated by 48% of respondents, female gender 58 percent, education level of most high school students was 48%, job status was mostly self-employed (28%), and the relationship between respondents and patients was mostly biological mothers, according to the findings (52%). The findings of this study show the patient's family's level of awareness about DHF is moderate (50%t). These findings suggest that families also need dengue information in order to avoid the disease early.
