Abstract

Dengue fever (DHF) is still a major public health problem in tropical areas, including Indonesia, due to high morbidity rates and environmental factors that support mosquito breeding. This study aimed to analyze the role of health education in increasing awareness and behavior of dengue prevention in communities in remote areas in the working area of Puskesmas Kota Padang, Rejang Lebong Regency, Bengkulu Province. Using a one-group pretest-posttest pre-experimental design, 90 respondents were purposively selected and assessed for changes in knowledge and behavior before and after the intervention. The intervention included health education on dengue prevention, with a focus on the 3M Plus method: drain, cover, recycle, and use larvicide. The results showed a significant increase in the proportion of respondents with good prevention behavior, increasing from 15.6% at pretest to 91.1% at posttest (p-value = 0.000). This indicates that health education significantly improved community knowledge and encouraged positive behavior change in dengue prevention. However, sustained community involvement and support from the government are required to sustain this improvement. These findings emphasize the importance of structured health education programs in reducing dengue transmission and suggest further research to explore long-term behavioral adherence and integration with public health policies
