Indonesia is a dengue-endemic area. DHF in Kupang City in 2014 was 487 cases, in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 was 1.213 cases, it was 2019 387 cases. The 3M+ behavior includes the habit of draining water storage, closing the water storage, burying old stuff, sowing larvicide powder, using mosquito insecticide, using mosquito bed-net, and avoiding the habit of hanging clothes. This study aims to analyze the relationship between 3M+ behavior and the incidence of DHF. This study was conducted in September 2019. This is a descriptive-analytic study with a case-control design. The results show variables related to the incidence of DHF are the behavior of draining water storage (P-value = 0.006), the behavior of closing the water storage (P-value = 0.002), and the behavior of using anti-mosquito insecticide (P-value = 0,000). Whereas the variables not related to the incidence of DHF are the behavior of burying old stuff (P-value = 0.616), the behavior of sowing larvicide powder (P-value = 0.493), the behavior of using mosquito nets (P-value = 0.067), and the behavior of hanging clothes (p-value = 0.512). It is recommended that 3M+ behavior should be done to prevent dengue hemorrhagic fever.
Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through mosquito bites. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector. However, other species such as Aedes albopictus can also be vector transmitters. Some of the factors that influence the occurrence of DHF include low immunity status of community groups and increased mosquito population density due to the large number of breeding places in the rainy season. Currently, DHF is still a common disease and is one of the main public health problems in Indonesia. The number of cases of dengue fever in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 as many as 1,213 cases, and in 2017 as many as 542 cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between behavior and the incidence of dengue fever in the working area of the Bakunase Health Center, Kupang City. This study was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. Data were collected in January-February 2020. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with the incidence of DHF, while action has a significant relationship with the incidence of DHF. Community empowerment efforts related to preventive measures need to be prioritized so that the risk of DHF disease can be reduced.
Musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao weaving workers are a problem of muscle disorders for weavers. As a result of this process is a long time and repeatedly will cause musculoskeletal complaints. Workplace Stretching Exercise is designed with the principle of muscle stretching, which is an attempt to extend muscle rest or relaxation. This activity will improve blood circulation so that it helps relax nervous tension and train muscles to be stronger so they don't get tired easily while working. This study aimed to analyze the effect of workplace stretching exercises on the reduction of musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao weaving workers in Rote Ndao Regency. This is a quantitative research with a pre-experimental design type one-group pretest-posttest design method. The population in this study were active weavers in Ikat Ndao weaving, Lobalain District as many as 40 weavers. The selected research sample has met the eligibility criteria for as many as 18 active weavers. The type of analysis test used is the paired sample t-test. The results showed that there was a difference in the level of musculoskeletal complaints before the intervention was in the moderate complaint category with a percentage of 77.8% and after the WSE intervention, the complaints decreased to the low complaint category with a percentage of 66.7% with a significant decrease in value of 19.39%. The results of the analysis show that there is an effect of Workplace Stretching Exercise on the reduction of musculoskeletal complaints in Ndao tie weaving workers, where there is a large difference in value (p = 0.007 ) ≤ (0.05), so it is expected that Ndao tie weaving workers will carry out Workplace Stretching Exercise activities every day in between weaving activities to reduce musculoskeletal complaints.
The development of increasingly modern times with increasingly dense mobilization rates causes traffic accidents to increase, especially among high school students. Traffic accidents occur due to several factors, that are human factors, environmental factors, and vehicle factors. This study aimed to analyze factors related to the risk of traffic accidents in, Kupang city in 2019. This research used quantitative methods, with analytic methods, using a cross-sectional approach. The selection of samples used simple random sampling method and sample in this study is 84 students spread over three high schools, in Kupang. The results showed that there was a relationship between driving behavior with traffic accidents on high school students in Kupang with the value of p value = 0.003, there was no relationship between the factors of vehicles with traffic accidents on high school students in Kupang with the value of p value = 0.285 and there was a relationship between environmental factors and traffic accidents on high school students in Kupang with a value of p value = 0.002). The researcher proposes suggestions for high school students in Kupang City to pay more attention to driving behavior, as well as the conditions of the road being traversed. for officers who are authorized to be able to improve guidance and outreach, and strict rules and sanctions to create a conducive traffic situation, to reduce traffic accidents.
