The Influence of Awareness and Education by Health Workers on Community Compliance in the Filariasis Prevention Program in Simpang Ulim, East Aceh District, 2018
Abstract
Abstract. Filariasis is a contagious disease that not only causes illness, but can also cause permanent disability. The government is trying to overcome cases of filariasis by implementing the Filariasis Elimination Program through the Mass Drugs Administration (MDA). This study aims to determine the effects of both the awareness of the program/of the disease and of the education by health workers on community compliance in the Mass Drugs Administration (MDA) of the Filariasis Elimination Program in Simpang Ulim, East Aceh in 2018. This is a cross-sectional type of research, which was conducted in August 2018 in Simpang Ulim, East Aceh. With 17,950 total population reported, samples for this research include 77 individuals which were taken using a purposive sampling technique. The inclusion criteria were people who had taken the filariasis drug and those who are >17 years old. Guided by the questionnaire, the data was collected through interviews, and the data analysis that was used were univariate, bivariate (chi-square), and multivariate (multiple logistic regression). The results showed us that the population’s awareness could affect community compliance in the Mass Drugs Administration (MDA) of Filariasis Elimination Program in Simpang Ulim, East Aceh, in 2018 (p=0.003; PR=1.886; 95% CI=1.183-3.005), meanwhile the education by health workers would not (p= 0.792, PR=0.931; 95% CI=0.540-1.606). The expectation is for the local health department to make continuous promotional program for the community to increase public awareness about filariasis.
