Social Support and its Correlation with “3M Plus” Behavior in the Prevention of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever
Get PDFThe incidence of dengue hemorrhagic fever has increased slightly in recent years. One of the factors is the decrease of the “3M Plus” behavior—draining bathtub regularly, covering water containers, burying garbage in the ground, plus other prevention attempts. The aim of this study was to analyze the correlation between social support with the “3M Plus” behavior in the prevention of dengue hemorrhagic fever. The study used a correlational method with a cross-sectional approach. The sample was 51 housewives in Surabaya. The independent variable was social support, while the dependent variable was “3M Plus” behavior. The data were collected by using Social Provision Scale questionnaire and “3M Plus” behavior questionnaire and analyzed by using Spearman rank correlation with α<0.05. A close positive relationship was found between social support with the behavior as p=0.01 and the coefficient correlation r=0.517. The findings show that the support from figures in the community is strongly related to the people’s “3M Plus” behavior. The government should involve, empower, and encourage the community public figures to be active in the prevention of dengue hemorrhagic fever.
