Hubungan Antara Pengelolaan Sampah Rumah Tangga Dengan Kejadian Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) Di Desa Wineru Kecamatan Likupang Timur Minahasa Utara

Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between household waste management and the incidence of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) in Wineru Village, East Likupang Subdistrict. This study employed a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design involving 80 respondents selected through a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire regarding household waste management and the history of DHF incidence, which were then analyzed using univariate and bivariate analyses with Fisher’s Exact Test at a 95% confidence level (α = 0.05). The results showed that the majority of respondents had good household waste management (62.5%), while 37.5% had poor waste management. The bivariate analysis indicated a significant relationship between household waste management and DHF incidence (p = 0.005), with a Prevalence Ratio (PR) of 6.667 (95% CI: 1.515–29.342). This means that respondents with poor waste management are 6.667 times more likely to experience DHF, either themselves or among family members living in the same household, compared to those with good household waste management. In conclusion, household waste management is associated with DHF incidence in Wineru Village; therefore, community education and empowerment are required to improve waste management as a DHF prevention effort.
