Abstract

The increased of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) incidences in Indonesia every year might be related to the ineffective fogging implementation due to the lack of community’s knowledge about fogging. Characteristics differences between urban and rural communities can affect the knowledge level about fogging to prevent dengue between both. This study determines the differences of knowledge level about fogging between urban and rural endemic area communities in Bantul Regency. This quantitative observational research used cross sectional design. There were 355 respondents from Kasihan Subdistrict (urban) and 366 respondents from Jetis Subdistrict (rural) who aged 15–59 years, physically and mentally healthy. Data of knowledge level about fogging was taken using a questionnaire. The level of knowledge about fogging, both in urban and rural areas are low (urban 45.4%; rural 48.4%). There is no significant difference between the knowledge about fogging between urban and rural communities in Bantul Regency (p 0.372). An important question that many people still do not understand is the purpose of fogging and what to do before fogging. It is necessary to increase public understanding regarding the purpose of fogging and what should be done before fogging.
