Abstract

Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through mosquito bites. The Aedes aegypti mosquito is the main vector. However, other species such as Aedes albopictus can also be vector transmitters. Some of the factors that influence the occurrence of DHF include low immunity status of community groups and increased mosquito population density due to the large number of breeding places in the rainy season. Currently, DHF is still a common disease and is one of the main public health problems in Indonesia. The number of cases of dengue fever in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) Province in 2015 was 665 cases, in 2016 as many as 1,213 cases, and in 2017 as many as 542 cases. This study aims to analyze the relationship between behavior and the incidence of dengue fever in the working area of ​​the Bakunase Health Center, Kupang City. This study was an analytic observational study with a case-control design. Data were collected in January-February 2020. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between knowledge and attitude with the incidence of DHF, while action has a significant relationship with the incidence of DHF. Community empowerment efforts related to preventive measures need to be prioritized so that the risk of DHF disease can be reduced.

Abstract

The quality of health services is inseparable from the role of medical and non-medical personnel, including nurses. In providing health services, one of the most potential human resources in the hospital are nurses. Good nurse performance is a determining factor for the hospital image in the community. The performance also supports the achievement of organizational goals. Factors affecting nurse performance can be categorized into individual (abilities and skills), psychological (motivation, perceptions, attitudes, personality and learning) and organizational factors (resources, leadership, compensation, workload, rewards, job structure and design). This study aimed to analyze the relationship between motivation, compensation, reward and workload with nurse performance at Kefamenanu Hospital, North Central Timor Regency. This research is an analytical survey with a cross-sectional design. The population in this study consisted of 153 nurses at Kefamenanu Hospital. A total sample of 61 people was selected using a simple random sampling technique. The data were analyzed with the Chi-Square test. The results showed that there was a relationship between motivation (p-value = 0,000), compensation (p-value = 0.002) reward (p-value = 0,000) and workload (p-value = 0.004) with the performance of nurses. The hospital needs to make policies to increase nurse performance such as preparing a proper reward system and balancing the workload.
