Abstract

ABSTRACT The Eradication of Mosquito Nest (PSN) program through depleting, burying, and closing (3M) plus aims to break the chain of mosquito breeding by eradicating the eggs and larvae of Ae. aegypti mosquito. This study aims to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices of respondents to the DHF vector control in Ternate City. The research was conducted in Ternate City, in October 2017-February 2018. The data on knowledge, attitudes, and practices were collected from 391 respondents using a structured questionnaire. The analysis of relationship between knowledge, attitudes, and practices on DHF vector control were measured using Chi Square test. The results of the analysis of the relationship between respondents' knowledge had a significant effect on the age group and education level (p <0.05), but not significant to the respondent's occupation (p> 0.05) on the control of the DHF vector. The attitude of the respondent was significantly related to the respondent's age group (p <0.05), but not significant to the level of education and occupation of the respondent (p> 0.05). The respondent practice only had a significant relationship with the respondent's age group (p <0.05) on the effort to control the dengue vector. The relationship between the respondents' practice of controlling the dengue vector was 0.376 greater than the knowledge and attitudes of the respondents towards controlling the vector of dengue fever in Ternate City.
