Abstract

Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an infectious disease of the dengue virus, which is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito as the main vector and Aedes albopictus as a potential vector. Monitoring the population density of Aedes aegypti is very important to assist in evaluating the presence of threats in each city, and so that mosquito eradication measures can be improved. The purpose of this study was to determine the density of the DHF vector in the village of Tumpok Teungoh, Lhokseumawe City. The population in this study were all houses in the village of Tumpok Teungoh, Lhokseumawe City, which amounted to 2,531 houses. The number of samples used is 100 houses which will be carried out by random sampling. Data was collected through direct observation by observing the type and number of containers as well as the presence of Aedes aegypti in water containers/holds in each house. Data analysis was carried out descriptively on the type of container, the number of larva-positive containers, the number of larva-positive houses, and the larval density, which was calculated based on the house index, container index, and Breteau index numbers. The results showed that the House Index (HI) was 29%, the container index (CI) was 20.5%, and the Breteau index (BI) was 41%. In conclusion, the density of DHF larvae in Tumpok Teungoh Village, Lhokseumawe City, is at level 5, which is the category of moderate risk of DHF transmission.

Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is a disease with a high risk of transmission and is one of the diseases whose cases continue to increase and cause death worldwide. Until now, pulmonary tuberculosis has been difficult to treat because of the patient's non-compliance with taking anti-tuberculosis drugs (OAT). This study aims to investigate the factors associated with adherence to taking OAT drugs in tuberculosis patients at Cut Meutia General Hospital. This research is an observational study with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at the pulmonary disease polyclinic of Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh Regency. The study was conducted on 100 patients, with the sampling technique being total sampling. The sample inclusion criteria in this study were patients who had been diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis, were willing to participate in the study, and had signed an agreement to participate in the study. A total of 100 patients participated in this study. Most of the patients were male (64%), aged over 46 years (52%), had low education (75%), had difficult hospital access (70%), and had poor knowledge regarding TB treatment (60%). In conclusion, the factors of age, gender, and distance of residence are related to adherence to taking OAT. Meanwhile, education and knowledge are not related to adherence to taking OAT in pulmonary TB patients at Cut Meutia General Hospital, North Aceh Regency.
