Abstract
Jumantik are special officials who perform larva monitoring to reduce the occurrence of DHF. In fact, the high number of DHF cases in Puskesmas II South Denpasar represents a problem regarding the performance of Jumantik. The purpose of this studies were to find out the factors that influent the performance of Jumantik in relation with the occurrence of DHF in the work area of Puskesmas II South Denpasar. This study used descriptive analytic design through cross sectional approach with the total samples of 32 Jumantik in the work area of Puskesmas II South Denpasar. Data were collected by using questionnaires. The obtained data were analyzed by chi square test and logistic regression test. Based on bivariate analysis, there were no significant correlations between characteristic (age, gender, education, tenure, and additional work) and Jumantiks attitudes with the occurrence of DHF indicated by p> 0,05. However, there were significant correlations between Jumantiks ability (p = 0,02), Jumantiks motivation (p = 0,014), award given (p = 0,008) and monitoring evaluation (p = 0,001) with dengue occurrence (p <0, 05). The results of multivariate analysis showed that the variables which influenced the occurrence of DF were ability (p = 0,014) and monitoring and evaluation (p = 0,011) and the most influential were the monitoring and evaluation variables with the value of OR 20,40 which means that if there were no monitoring and evaluation to Jumantik then the risk of DHF occurrence were 20.4 times greater than that in the presence of monitoring and evaluation. The results of this studies showed that the most influential factors of DHF occurrence are the ability of Jumantik and monitoring the evaluation of Jumantik. To reduce the case of dengue, need to be optimized ability jumantik and monitoring evaluation consistently and continuously.
