HUBUNGAN PENGETAHUAN DENGAN PENERAPAN PERILAKU HIDUP BERSIH DAN SEHAT (PHBS) DALAM PENCEGAHAN DBD PADA KELUARGA DI RW 1 KELURAHAN TEMAS

Introduction

Hubungan pengetahuan dengan penerapan perilaku hidup bersih dan sehat (phbs) dalam pencegahan dbd pada keluarga di rw 1 kelurahan temas. Penelitian menganalisis hubungan pengetahuan dan penerapan PHBS dalam pencegahan DBD pada keluarga di Temas. Pengetahuan baik dorong PHBS optimal. Edukasi kesehatan intensif disarankan.

Abstract

Penyakit Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan masalah kesehatan masyarakat yang signifikan di Indonesia, terutama di musim hujan. Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) merupakan upaya kolektif yang bertujuan untuk menciptakan lingkungan yang mendukung kesehatan individu maupun masyarakat. Fokus PHBS melibatkan berbagai aspek kehidupan, seperti kebersihan diri, pemeliharaan kebersihan lingkungan, konsumsi makanan bergizi, serta aktivitas fisik yang teratur.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan antara pengetahuan dengan penerapan Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS) dalam pencegahan DBD pada keluarga di RW 1 Kelurahan Temas, Kota Batu. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional. Sebanyak 164 dari 256 keluarga dipilih sebagai sampel melalui purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner yang mencakup pengetahuan dan penerapan PHBS.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tidak ada hubungan yang signifikan antara tingkat pengetahuan dan penerapan PHBS dalam mencegah DBD. Pengetahuan yang baik mendorong penerapan PHBS yang lebih optimal, termasuk kegiatan 4M Plus dan pengelolaan sampah. Penelitian ini menyarankan edukasi kesehatan yang lebih intensif untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan tindakan preventif terhadap DBD di masyarakat.Kata Kunci: Demam Berdarah, Perilaku Hidup Bersih dan Sehat (PHBS), Pengetahuan

Review

This study addresses a critical public health concern in Indonesia, examining the relationship between knowledge and the application of Clean and Healthy Living Behaviors (PHBS) for Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DBD) prevention among families in a specific community. The clear objective and a well-defined quantitative, cross-sectional methodology, utilizing purposive sampling to select 164 families, are strengths that provide a focused inquiry into local health practices. By investigating this connection, the research contributes to understanding the dynamics of health behavior adoption in a context where DBD remains a significant challenge, particularly during the rainy season. A notable and somewhat counter-intuitive finding of this research is the reported absence of a significant relationship between the level of knowledge and the actual application of PHBS in preventing DBD. This challenges conventional assumptions that improved knowledge directly translates into better health practices. While the abstract notes that good knowledge generally promotes optimal PHBS, including 4M Plus activities and waste management, the statistical insignificance of this relationship is a key outcome. This finding prompts critical reflection on the specific measurement tools for knowledge and PHBS, and whether other factors such as attitudes, perceived barriers, social norms, or practical limitations might exert a stronger influence on behavioral enactment. Given the non-significant statistical relationship between knowledge and PHBS application, the study's recommendation for more intensive health education, though generally sound, should be considered with nuance. Future research would benefit significantly from exploring the specific reasons behind this observed disconnect, perhaps through mixed-methods approaches incorporating qualitative interviews to uncover the lived experiences, perceptions, and barriers families face in adopting PHBS. Investigating other psychosocial determinants beyond mere knowledge, such as self-efficacy, perceived threat, or cues to action, could lead to the development of more targeted and effective public health interventions that bridge the gap between knowing and doing, ultimately enhancing DBD prevention efforts in the community.
