COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT REGARDING “ONE HOUSE ONE JUMANTIK” PROGRAM IN KARANG BESUKI SUB-DISTRICT, MALANG CITY

Abstract

In 2016, Indonesia has been launching the “Indonesia Sehat'' program which the strategy used is to strengthen health services through a family approach. According to the 2016 Ministry of Health technical guidelines, the larva inspector, also known as Juru Pemantau Jentik (Jumantik), is involved in Jumantik participating by each family. Their role is the same as 3M plus actions including in the inspection, monitoring, and eradication of mosquito larvae for controlling infectious diseases, especially Dengue Fever. The purpose of these activities was to increase community participation to conduct a “one house one Jumantik'' program. The study was the quasi-experimental post-test only design that was located in Karangbesuki sub-district, Malang City from August until September 2017. One cluster Rukun Warga (RW) from the Karangbesuki sub-district that consisted of 9 Rukun Tetangga (RT) was chosen as the location. The intervention was in collaboration with Mulyorejo Public Health Center (Pusat Kesehatan Masyarakat / Puskesmas) in Malang. The methods used were ovitrap utilization training and focus group discussion (FGD), health promotion and "one-house one-Jumantik'' training program, also the contest to choose the best RT. The results of this activity succeeded in establishing a Jumantik team in each RT although there was one RT that has not yet succeeded in forming a team. Furthermore, for the sustainability of the program, it is hoped that this program could be improved by collaborating with Mulyorejo Puskesmas staff who monitor activities routinely through the integrated service post (Pos Pelayanan Terpadu / Posyandu).
