          Abstract

          Introduction

          Dengue has been a burden, especially in tropical country. Indonesian Ministry of Health promote dengue prevention through environmental control with 3 M (covering water storage, cleaning water storage, and recycling unused items) practices. Here we analyzed factors associated with dengue prevention behavior in riverbank area of Yogyakarta Province.

          Methods

          The study employed cross-sectional survey covering riverbank area of Sendowo, Yogyakarta Province. This study systematically sampled 1 representative from every household to describe the condition of 1 house. We analyzed the associations between subjects' characteristics and dependent variables using Pearson's chi-square test.

          Results

          Overall, 89 subjects were enrolled in this study, of whom 11.2% males and 88.8% females. Age and occupation were associated with covering water storage variable with p-value of <0.001 and 0.007, respectively. Recycling unused items variable was associated with monthly income with p-values of 0.045. Furthermore, there were no significant associations between cleaning water storage variable with sex, age, marital status, education level, monthly income, and occupation.

          Conclusion

          Age and occupations were associated with covering water storage variable. Recycling unused items variable shows significant association with income. Further multiarea study is necessary to compare our findings with other areas.

          STROCSS 2019 Guideline: Strengthening the reporting of cohort studies in surgery

          Riaz Agha, Ali Abdall-Razak, Eleanor Crossley … (2019)
          The STROCSS guideline was developed in 2017 to improve the reporting quality of observational studies in surgery. Building on its impact and usefulness, we sought to update the guidelines two years after its publication.

            Male-female differences in the number of reported incident dengue fever cases in six Asian countries.

            Yuzo Arima, Martha Anker (2011)
            Demographic factors, such as age and sex, are associated with the likelihood of exposure to Aedes aegypti, the vector for dengue. However, dengue data disaggregated by both sex and age are not routinely reported or analysed by national surveillance systems. This study analysed the reported number of incident dengue cases by age and sex for six countries in Asia. Data for the Lao People's Democratic Republic, the Philippines, Singapore and Sri Lanka were obtained from DengueNet; the number of male and female dengue cases was available for four age groups (< 1, 1-4, 5-14 and ≥ 15 years) over a cumulative period of six to 10 years. Data for Cambodia (2010) and Malaysia (1997-2008) were obtained from their respective ministries of health. An excess of males was found among reported dengue cases ≥ 15 years of age. This pattern was observed consistently over several years across six culturally and economically diverse countries. These data indicated the importance of reporting data stratified by both sex and age since collapsing the data over all ages would have masked some of the male-female differences. To target preventive measures appropriately, assessment of gender by age is important for dengue because biological or gender-related factors can change over the human lifespan and gender-related factors may differ across countries.

              Knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding dengue virus infection among inhabitants of Aceh, Indonesia: a cross-sectional study

              Harapan Harapan, Yogambigai Rajamoorthy, Samsul ANWAR … (2018)
              Background The Indonesian region of Aceh was the area most severely affected by the earthquake and tsunami of 26 December 2004. Department of Health data reveal an upward trend of dengue cases in Aceh since the events of the tsunami. Despite the increasing incidence of dengue in the region, there is limited understanding of dengue among the general population of Aceh. The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding dengue among the people of Aceh, Indonesia in order to design intervention strategies for an effective dengue prevention program. Methods A community-based cross-sectional study was conducted in Aceh between November 2014 and March 2015 with a total of 609 participants living in seven regencies and two municipalities. Information on the socio-demographic characteristics of participants and their KAP regarding dengue was collected using a pre-tested structured questionnaire. The KAP status (good vs. poor) of participants with different socio-demographic characteristics was compared using Chi Square-test, ANOVA or Fisher’s exact test as appropriate. Logistic regression analysis was used to determine the predictors of each KAP domain. Results We found that 45% of participants had good knowledge regarding dengue and only 32% had good attitudes and good dengue preventive practices. There was a significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes, knowledge and practice, and attitudes and practice. In addition, people who had good knowledge were 2.7 times more likely to have good attitudes, and people who had good attitudes were 2.2 times more likely to have good practices regarding dengue. The level of education, occupation, marital status, monthly income, socioeconomic status (SES) and living in the city were associated with the knowledge level. Occupation, SES, and having experienced dengue fever were associated with attitudes. Education, occupation, SES and type of residence were associated with preventive practices. Conclusion Our study suggests that dengue prevention programs are required to increase KAP levels regarding dengue in the communities of Aceh.
