Controlling Factors that Potentially against Transmission of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at State Elementary Schools in Yogyakarta
Abstract: Elementary school is
a place that can result in increase of dengue disease among children because of
environmental factors, potential transmission, the absence of good environmental
management system and some control efforts which are no longer effective. This
study aimed to determine factors that potentially against transmission of
dengue hemorrhagic fever in state elementary school, so the early warning
system can be enforced. Type of study was analytic with cross-sectional design.
The study was conducted in 91 state elementary schools in Yogyakarta City in
2014. Variables in the observation are virus serotype DEN, insecticide
resistance, the density of vector and physical condition of schools. Data
analysis used descriptive and correlation-regression (α = 5%). Results showed
that there were eight schools with dengue virus serotype 2 and 3 mosquitoes
declared to have mild and moderate resistance to organophosphate, the school environment
was susceptible to transmission of dengue hemorrhagic fever based on the
container index, house index, breteau index and ovitrap index, temperature and
humidity inside and outside were potential to the high density of eggs, wire
netting was not installed on ventilation and the very close distance between
the buildings could lead to transmission.
