REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, BOGOR — As a form of concern for local residents, AZRA Hospital provides counseling about Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever at Posyandu RW 11 Bantarjati, Bogor City. The rise of dengue cases that exist during the rainy season like this needs to be reminded again so that people are aware and alert to the dangers of dengue disease.
It is also hoped that with this counseling household members know, are willing and able to practice clean and healthy living behaviors and play an active role in the health movement in the community. Residents were gathered after participating in posyandu activities to get counseling about DHF.
The activity which took place from 08.30-11.00 was running successfully, it could be seen from the high enthusiasm of the residents who came, there were 55 people, therefore the counseling was divided into two sessions so that the conditions when giving the material could be more conducive.
The residents paid close attention to every material presented well by Mrs. Nindya Kurnia Aprinita, SKM on Dengue Fever, the material presented was about the definition, how to breed mosquitoes, the characteristics of mosquitoes, symptoms of dengue fever, the phase of fever during dengue fever, and also its prevention. .
The target of this counseling is all family members in the household starting from couples of childbearing age, pregnant or lactating mothers, children and adolescents, elderly, child caretakers.
In this extension there are very important points, especially the phases of fever if a child or family suffers from dengue fever, there are 3 phases or what we often hear about the horse saddle phase. Phase 1 usually occurs 1-3 days the patient will feel a fairly high fever (up to 40 degrees).
Phase 2 is a critical phase that usually occurs on days 4-5, patients will experience a decrease in fever (up to 37 degrees) and phase 3 occurs on days 6-7. Patients will feel the fever again in this 3rd phase and this phase is called the recovery phase.
We often hear the term 3M in preventing dengue fever, namely draining water reservoirs, closing all water reservoirs tightly and utilizing and recycling used goods. It turns out that the term dengue prevention is not only 3M, now it is 3M Plus. The pluses include preventing mosquito breeding, keeping larvae-eating fish, using mosquito repellent, installing wire netting on ventilation, not hanging clothes in the room, and sprinkling larvicide powder.
