Article Information ABSTRACT The incidence of dengue fever is closely related to sanitation facilities Article History that invite Aedes aegypti mosquitoes to breed and become a disease Received: 10-07-24 Revised: 15-08-24 Accepted:13-09-24 problem that always occurs every year, including in Tanjung Balai City, around 70 cases of people contracting dengue fever and this is an endemic area for dengue fever in 2023. This research aims to determine Keywords: Dengue Fever. Settlements. Environmental Sanitation the relationship between sanitation facilities and the incidence of dengue fever on the Safe Road in Tanjung Balai City. Simardan Island. This research uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional method, the population in this study is the entire community on safe roads totaling 170 people and the total sample in this study is 60 people. Based on the results of the analysis, it was found that there was a relationship between garbage disposal . value = 0. and water storage . value = 0. with the incidence of DHF in Jalan Aman Kota Tanjung Balai Simardan Island. It is hoped that this research can provide awareness to the government and health workers to carry out outreach and supervision to the public regarding the importance of maintaining the sanitary conditions of the home environment in good condition. Introduction An environmental-based disease is a type of One of the environmental-based diseases is Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever. DBD (Dengue disease phenomena that affects a population Hemorrhagic Feve. is an infectious disease that is closely associated, rooted, or tied to caused by the entry of the dengue virus into the or more environmental elements in an body through the bite of the Aedes aegypti and area where the community resides or functions Aedes Albopictus mosquitoes which can appear for a set amount of time. (Kumiasa, 2. throughout the year. 38 Journal Of Health Science Email : jurnalfik@wiraraja. The Relationship Between Sanitation Facilities andAA DBD (Dengue Hemorrhagic Feve. is known as an endemic disease in society because the process of spreading is very fast in a region and has even increased throughout the world in the last decade (Kharisna, 2. In 2023, dengue fever cases reached a record high, impacting over 80 countries throughout the WHO's regions. More than 6. 5 million cases and more than 7,300 dengue-related deaths have been documented since the beginning of 2023 due to continuingtransmission and an unanticipated surge in incidence. In 2023, there were the most recorded cases of dengue infected with dengue fever (BPS Tanjung Balai City This can be seen from the sanitation facilities of the coastal communities in the city of Tanjung Balai, such as throwing rubbishcarelessly, so that there are blockages in drains or ditches caused by careless rubbish dumping, and the large number of water reservoirs which can be a factor in the development of mosquito vectors that carry dengue fever which is increasingly growing in the Based on this, it can be said that the incidence of dengue fever is strongly related to the sanitation of the home environment which invites the Aedes aegypti mosquito to breed. There were 2,300 deaths and 4. According to Prasetyo . , respondents million cases reported by the WHO Americas who have poor sanitation conditions can be 3. Region.

Herlina. Based on data from the North Sumatra Provincial Health Office in 2022, the number of dengue fever cases was 1,777 cases and in 2023 the number of dengue fever cases was 1,894 cases. The DHF incidence rate in North Sumatra Province is still relatively high, namely 57. 2 per 100,000 population, where this figure has exceeded the national DHF incidence rate in 2022, namely 52 per 100,000 population (Ministry of Health 2. Based on data from the Central Population Data Statistics Agency, number of dengue fever in the people of Tanjung Balai city is around 70 casesof people , & Husna. , . Environmental sanitation plays a major role in dengue fever. Environmental sanitation factors that can influence dengue fever include water reservoirs and waste disposal Based on research by Dompas . Respondents were 6. 41 times more likely to have a reservoir that did not meet their needs suffer from dengue fever. Disposal sites or waste management that do not meet the requirements can also increase the risk of dengue fever (Arsyad, et al. renvironmental sanitation facilities with the incidence of dengue fever on Jalan Aman, .
