Abstract

The risk of dengue fever transmission occurs if a dengue sufferer is in a watertight area, then the community around the sufferer is at risk of infection. The main objective of this research is to determine the relationship between the social environment and the morbidity rate of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF). A cross-sectional study was conducted in Metro City. The research took place from January-July 2023. Researchers randomly selected 350 people using the simple random sampling method. The morbidity rate for dengue fever is established based on clinical and laboratory diagnostic criteria. The social environment (habits of hanging clothes, habits of sleeping in the morning/afternoon, and community participation in PSN) was obtained from the results of the questionnaire. After that, the analysis was carried out using a logistic regression model to obtain the OR value of the social environment and the morbidity rate for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in the community. The morbidity rate (Incidence Rate/IR) for Dengue Fever (DHF) in Metro City, Lampung Province is 39 per 100,000 population. The results of the analysis showed a significant relationship between the social environment (habit of hanging clothes (p=0.004), habit of sleeping in the morning/afternoon (p=0.047), and community participation in PSN (p=0.022)) with dengue morbidity rates. Finally, the conclusion of this study is that the social environment is significantly related to dengue fever morbidity rates.
