CHAPTER 1
The Problem
Introduction
The recent report from UNICEF Philippines dated August 8, 2019,

revealed that there are a dramatic 146,062.00 dengue cases, including 622
deaths in the Philippines, which accounted for a 98% increase compared to the
same period last year. Of these numbers, Region 9 Zamboanga Peninsula
ranks third with 12, 317 dengue cases, which are considered a very alarming
amount of dengue cases in the country (retrieved from UNICEF Philippines
Report, 2019).
Dengue fever comes from a female mosquito called Anopheles

mosquito; this is also can cause malaria. This became a threat not just in our
municipality but also around the Philippines. Many people have lost their loved
ones because of this virus that came from mosquitoes’ bite.
The government comes up with the solution to conduct a vaccine

against dengue. The President open to the dengvaxia vaccine to address the
dengue epidemic, but many are scared because, in the previous years, the
dengue vaccine leaves hundreds of children dead. But the government is trying
their best to find solutions to prevent this virus with the support of Barangay
Local Government Unit (BLGU) and Local Government Unit (LGU) to spread
awareness in the community.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), countries should

consider vaccination with the dengue vaccine to minimized dengue victims in
their different jurisdictions. Still, some countries do not believe that this kind of
strategy would solve the problem; it may even harm the lives of their family
especially the kids which is the primary victim of dengvaxia vaccine. This has
caused a scandal in the Philippines where more than 733,000 children and
2
more than 50,000 adult volunteers were vaccinated regardless of seronegative.
This is also alarming because some died because of dengvaxia. Many people
were angry with the Philippine Government because they say that it was a
neglect of their duty.
The development of a vaccine for the dengue fever began as early as

1929 but has been hundred first by incomplete knowledge of the disease
pathogenesis, and later by the need to simultaneously create a stable immunity
against all four dengue serotypes. Several vaccine candidates are in
development, including live attenuated, inactivated, DNA, and subunit
vaccines. Live attenuated vaccine candidates are the furthest along in the
event. In 2016 a partially effective vaccine for dengue fever (Dengvaxia)
became commercially available in 11 countries Mexico, the Philippines,
Indonesia, Brazil, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Paraguay, Guatemala, Peru,
Thailand, and Singapore. In Indonesia, it costs about US$207 to recommend
three doses. World Health Organization (WHO) updated its recommendations
regarding the use of Dengvaxia in September 2018 based on the evidence that
the seronegative population is a serious cause of the growing number of people
with this disease. Increasing the level of awareness of the dengue virus could
be determined in the three (3) factors, which are the environment, community,
and rural health unit. Therefore, prevention is better than cure. We need to help
each other and focus on the safeties of our families and loved ones.
To determine the level of awareness of the dengue disease in the locality

and the school, in particular, this prompts the researchers to investigate the
study.

The Theoretical Framework of the Study
This study was anchored on the reviews of Van Benthem (2002) which
claimed that “people with higher knowledge on dengue reported a significantly
higher use of prevention measure than people with low knowledge” and of
Chusongsang (2005) which reported that “household leaders with a high level
of knowledge had better dengue prevention practices.”
Epidemic dengue fever has emerged as a global public health problem

in recent decades. The issue has become an epidemic in many urban, peri-
urban, and rural areas, with frequent outbreaks. Symptoms of the infection are
characterized by a sudden onset of high fever, severe headache, backache,
intense pain in joints and muscles, amount pain, nausea, vomiting, and a
generalized erythematous rash that usually begins 4-7 days after the mosquito
bite and typically last 3-10 days.
Infection with a dengue virus serotype can also produce a more complex
and severe form of clinical manifestation like bleeding and shock. The first
confirmed epidemic of dengue fever was recorded in the Philippines in 1953-
1954.
The World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDCP) recommends extensive community education campaigns
that emphasize reducing vector breeding sites as an effective way of dengue
prevention. This recommendation is supported by various researches showing
community education can be more effective in reducing dengue vector
breeding sites than chemicals alone.
The Community and the Environment take a significant factor in

preventing the dengue virus. With the combined support in society, we can
overcome preventing it. The community should implement the awareness of
cleaning the environment to avoid such disease, most notably, in rainy
seasons. Some of the tips to get around dengue to harm us are the following:
fogging, using of mosquito repellent, wear long sleeves and long pants, always
4
use mosquito nets if you are in a mosquito-infested area, making sure the
windows, doors are close to prevent mosquitos and avoid areas with standing
water, especially at times of high mosquito activity like dawn and dusk.
Figure 1 shows the schema of the theoretical framework, the interplay

between the dependent and independent variables.

Statement of the Problem
The primary purpose of the study was to determine the respondent's

knowledge level of awareness and prevention practices on dengue awareness
of barangay Alindahaw in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur, wherein evident loss
of lives of their loved ones brought by dengue, was reported.
Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the respondent's knowledge level of awareness and
prevention practices in dengue disease in terms of:
1.1 barangay health-based education;
1.2 community level of awareness; and
1.3 household responsible parenting practices?

2. Is there a significant difference in the response of respondents along
with the three factors?
3. What are the respondent’s prevention practices in controlling the
dengue disease?
Null Hypothesis
The null hypothesis was advanced for testing used the 0.01 level of
significance. There was no significant difference in the respondents’ responses
to the variables indicated in the study.
Significance of the Study
This research aims to determine the knowledge level and practices

regarding dengue infections among rural residents in Alindahaw and to find the
best solutions to prevent this disease in the community, most notably to the
most affected area, wherein losses the lives of their loved ones. The
researchers believe that the following people or group shall benefit from the
study:
7
Respondents. This study will help the participants to know those
practices that are more relevant to their everyday living to especially on those
individuals living in the seaside area.
Community. This study helps every individual to be aware of the

prevention and instituting measures to meet the prompt response arising from
any threat that comes in the barangay.
Future researchers Regarding the factors affected the awareness

and prevention of dengue virus in the community. They should have this as a
source of information if there is a problem related to this study. This study
enhanced future researchers’ understanding of the level of awareness but poor
practice regarding fever control.
Scope and Limitation of the Study

The study was limited only to the three factors on increasing the level of
awareness of dengue disease in Alindahaw, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur, and
the number of households who were considered respondents of this
investigation, this Academic Year 2019-2020. The results of the study will be
useful in the awareness and prevention of the community against the spread
of dengue.

CHAPTER 2
Review of the Related Literature and Related Studies
This chapter presents the related literature and related studies of the
previous research. This is consisting of information about the different possible
factors of environments towards the conditional cash transfer program from
various authors who contributed to give enough proof that may strengthen the
result of the research.
A. Related Literature
Policymakers’ views on dengue fever that the four Southeast Asian
countries must practice the dengue vaccines. They also conducted a survey in
other influential professionals in four southeast Asian countries this country
including Cambodia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Vietnam, to determine
policymakers’ views on the public health importance of dengue fever. They
think that the need for full implementation of dengue vaccines will be the
solution for the epidemic cause of dengue in the said country. The Philippines
practice dengue vaccines but unfortunately there’s a lot of negative feedback,
many are not satisfied with the results especially for those family have losses
the life of their loved ones after injecting the dengue vaccines.
The Philippine Government have another solution, they conducted
dengue campaign in every municipalities from the basic political unit of society
(Barangay). Through the help of Department of health (DOH) after the
declaration of national dengue alert with the slogan “Aksyon Barangay Kontra
Dengue PAGTIBAYIN!” in this campaign the barangay officials and the
barangay health worker disseminate the 4s Method. Stands for Search and
destroy breeding places, secure self-protection measures, Seek early
consultations, and Support fogging/Spraying to prevent impending outbreak.
The 4s method is to eliminate those sites that could be breeding areas

for dengue carrying mosquitos. In the campaign the Department of Health
(DOH) reminds the public to practice the 4s campaign against dengue. Dengue
10
consider a year-round disease is an acute viral infection that affects mostly
young children and infants cases recorded since January up to July 20 this year
146,062 a total of 98% higher than the same period in 2018 there were 622
deaths. Dengue is a mosquito-borne viral infection. Dengue virus is transmitted
by female mosquitos mainly of the species Aedes aegypti and, to a lesser
extent, Ac. Albopictus. Dengue is widespread throughout the tropics, with local
variations in risk influenced by rainfall, temperature and unplanned rapid
urbanization symptoms are headache, fever, nausea and vomiting, skin rash,
and fatigue.
The provincial government of Zamboanga del Sur as the province

recorded the increasing incidents of the viral disease this year the Integrated
Provincial Health Office said that early seek of treatment is very important. They
urged everyone not to hesitate to consult the doctor for check-up when flu-like
symptoms such as fever, muscle pains, and joint pains occur in a patient.
The government encouraged families to actively participate in the

conduct of search and destroy efforts in their homes and communities to
eliminate breeding grounds of dengue-carrying mosquitos. The advocacy of the
government to educate municipalities about dengue and its prevention is
endless to intensify localized clean-up drives and other preventive measure
against the mosquito-borne disease at the barangay level. From January to
July this year, Zamboanga del Sur recorded a total of 2349 cases with 19
deaths compared to the same period last year with only 777 cases and 9
deaths. Pagadian City has the highest number of dengue incidents with 434.
On July 15, 2019 the Department of Health raised a “national dengue alert,” for
the first time due to a spike in the number of cases in the country.
The control of Aedes aegypti mosquito larvae is essential for the control
of dengue fever (DF) and dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The need to know
the perceptions of key informants is necessary to better address the dengue-
related control issues in a specific area or community. Schools are potential
mosquito breeding sites. Also, primary, secondary, and tertiary school-age
11
students are principal targets of the Aedes mosquitoes. Dengue has become a
steadily increasing health problem in the Philippines.
Consequently, it has become endemic in Dumaguete City, Philippines.

Aedes control is mostly based on source reduction. Therefore, knowledge of
the types of mosquito breeding sites is a prerequisite for health personnel,
schoolteachers and children and the community at large for the control of
dengue. Various types of containers have been identified as potential mosquito
breeding sites. These include plastic and metal containers, animal- feeding
dishes, tires, flower vases, coconut shells, and water storage drums.
The rapid growth of the population is one of the bases why a lot of
diseases, especially in Asian country like the Philippines we cannot deny the
fact that a lot of Filipinos are not educated on how to dispose of their waste.
Even though the government already has the ecological solid waste
management Act No. 9003 of 2000. An Act providing for an Ecological Solid
Waste Management Program. This act was mandated by all local chief
executives to implement this in their different communities. The proper
dissemination of information through the community is one of the keys to
success. If the community is more aware, they have the big chance to prevent
this disease.
B. Related Studies
Dengue is an arboviral disease which includes dengue fever (DF),

dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) and dengue shock syndrome (DSS). It is a
global problem affecting tens of millions of people in over 102 countries in
tropics and subtropics (Monath, 1994). Dengue fever has been identified as a
re-emerging disease in Southeast Asia (World Health Organization, 1994).
Incidence and geographical distribution of DF have significantly increased in
recent years. The environmental and social changes were closely associated
with the emergence of DF and DHF as public health issues in the past years.
Factors involved in the exacerbation of dengue cases are unprecedented and
12
unplanned urbanization, increased mobility, growth in Aedes breeding habitats,
climate change, lack of effective mosquito control, and deterioration of public
health infrastructure (Gubler & Clark, 1995). These factors might have played
a role in the conflagrating scenario in Chennai city also. All four dengue
serotypes (DEN-1, DEN-2, DEN-3, and DEN4) had been reported in Chennai
(World Health Organization, 1997; Kabilan et al., 2003). In the absence of a
dengue vaccine, vector control (VC) is the only way to control DF. But even VC
is often constrained due to operational bottlenecks in the want of community
support. So, it is inevitably essential to ensure community involvement in
dengue vector control programs. Before starting any community-based VC
programs, it is necessary to assess the knowledge and perception of the
community about dengue as well as vector control practices. Prevention
programs could be effective only if expertise as well as vector control practices
of people are comprehended and put into the mainstream of intervention
activity (Llyod et al., 1992; Swaddiwudhipong et al., 1992; Leontsini et al.,
1993). Therefore, a KAP survey was conducted to assess the community
knowledge on DF, the p practices of vector control and preventive measures
implemented to control the DF in Chennai city, following outbreaks in 2001.
Through convenience sampling, a pre-tested and structured

questionnaire was administered through a face-to-face unprompted interview
with 447 visitors. Knowledge was recorded on a scale of 1-3. Results about
89%.9% of individuals interviewed had heard of dengue fever. Sufficient
knowledge about dengue was found to be in 38%.5% of the sample, with 66%
of these in Aga Khan University Hospital and 33% in Civil Hospital Karachi.
Literate individuals were relatively more well-informed about dengue fever as
compared to the illiterate people (p<0.001). Knowledge-based upon the
prevention measure was found to be predominantly focused on the prevention
of mosquito bites (78.3%) rather than eradication of mosquito population
(17.3%). The use of anti-mosquito spray was the most prevalent (48.1%)
preventive measure. Television was considered as the most important and
useful source of information on the disease. Conclusion the adult population of
13
Karachi has adequate knowledge related to the virus ‘dengue’ on isolated
aspects, but the overall prevalence of ‘sufficient knowledge’ based on our
criteria is poor. We demonstrated the adequate prevalence of preventive
practices against the disease. Further studies correlating the association
between knowledge and its effectiveness against dengue will be helpful in
explaining the implications of awareness campaigns.
Dengue is an emerging vector borne infectious disease that is a major

public health concern in the Asia Pacific region. Official dengue surveillance
data for 2010 provided by ministries of health were summarized as part of
routine activities of the World Health Organization Regional Office for the
Western Pacific. Based on reported data, dengue has continued to show an
increasing trend in the Western Pacific Region. In 2010, countries and areas
reported a total of 353 907 dengue cases, of which 1073 died, for a case fatality
ratio of 0.30%. More than 1000 cases were reported each from Australia (North
Queensland), Cambodia, the Lao People's Democratic Republic, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, and Viet Nam. Except of Australia, the number of
reported cases in 2010 greater than that reported in 2009 for these countries.
The number of cases reported in 2010 in some countries, such as the
Philippines, is likely due to several factors, such as enhanced reporting and
continued epidemic activity. However, increases in the reported number of
cases in other areas, such as Singapore and Malaysia, appear to indicate
sustained epidemic activity in those countries. The continued epidemic dengue
activity in the Region highlights the need for timely and routine regional sharing
of information. This study is could epidemiologic study of dengue in the western
pacific region in 2010. Epidemiologic, according to google it is the study of the
analysis of the distribution, patterns, and determinants of health and disease
conditions in defined populations. It is the cornerstone of public health and
shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors
for disease and targets for preventive healthcare. In line with the study, the
fastest growth of populations is the possible reason for the disease but some
are not convinced; it is about how the people are being responsible for
14
acquiring the proper disposal of waste and responsible in such other ways that
their family and community will benefit. The level of awareness must be in a
different areas to prevent this kind of disease.
Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease in
the world. In the last 50 years, the incidence has increased 30-fold with
increasing geographic expansion to new countries and, in the present decade,
from urban to rural settings. An estimated 50 million dengue infections occur
annually, and approximately 2.5 billion people live in dengue-endemic
countries. The 2002 World Health Assembly resolution WHA. Urged
commitment to dengue by WHO and its Member States. Of particular
significance is the 2005 World Health Assembly resolution WHA58.3 on the
revision of the International Health Regulations (IHR), which includes dengue
as an example of a disease that may constitute a public health emergency of
international concern with implications for health security due to disruption and
rapid epidemic spread beyond national borders.
Some 1.8 billion (more than 70%) of the population at risk for dengue worldwide
live in member states of the WHO South-East Asia Region and Western Pacific
Region, which bear nearly 75% of the current global disease burden due to
dengue. The Asia Pacific Dengue Strategic Plan for both regions (2008--2015)
has been prepared in consultation with member countries and development
partners in response to the increasing threat from dengue, which is spreading
to new geographical areas and causing high mortality during the early phase
of outbreaks. The strategic plan aims to aid countries to reverse the rising trend
of dengue by enhancing their preparedness to detect, characterize and contain
outbreaks rapidly and to stop Since 2000, epidemic dengue has spread to new
areas and has increased. In 2003, eight countries -- Bangladesh, India,
Indonesia, Maldives, Myanmar, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Timor-Leste --
reported dengue cases. In 2004, Bhutan reported the country’s first dengue
outbreak. In 2005, WHO’s Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network
(GOARN) responded to an outbreak with a high case-fatality rate (3.55%) in
15
Timor-Leste. In November 2006, Nepal reported indigenous dengue cases for
the first time. The Democratic Peoples’ Republic of Korea is the only country of
the South-East Region that has no reports of indigenous dengue. The spread
to new areas.
Indonesia, where more than 35% of the country’s population lives in urban
areas, 150 000 cases were reported in 2007 (the highest on record) with over
25 000 cases reported from both Jakarta and West Java. The case-fatality rate
was approximately 1%.In Myanmar in 2007 the states/divisions that reported
the highest number of cases were Ayayarwaddy, Kayin, Magway, Mandalay,
Mon, Rakhine, Sagaing, Tanintharyi, and Yangon. From January to September
2007, Myanmar reported 9578 cases. The reported case-fatality rate in
Myanmar is slightly above 1%. Thailand, dengue is reported from all four
regions: Northern, Central, North-Eastern ,and Southern. In June 2007,
outbreaks was reported from Trat province, Bangkok, Chiangrai, Phetchabun,
Phitsanulok, Khamkaeng Phet, Nakhon Sawan, and Phit Chit. A total of 58 836
cases was reported from January to November 2007. The case-fatality rate in
Thailand is below 0.2%.
Dengue prevention and control was implemented through the Bi-regional
Dengue Strategy (2008--2015) of the WHO South-East Asia and Western
Pacific regions. These consists of six elements: dengue surveillance, case
management, outbreak response, integrated vector management, social
mobilization and communication for dengue and dengue research (a
combination of both formative and operational research). The strategy was
endorsed by resolution SEA/RC61/R5 of the WHO Regional Committee for
South-East Asia in 2008. Dengue has emerged as a public health problem in
the Western Pacific Region Since the last major pandemic in 1998, epidemics
have recurred in much of the area. Lack of reporting remains one of the most
challenges in dengue prevention and control. Between 2001 and 2008, 1 020
333 cases was reported in Cambodia, Malaysia, Philippines, and Vietnam --
the four countries in the Western Pacific Region with the highest numbers of
cases and deaths. The combined death toll for these four countries was 4798
16
(official country reports). Compared with other countries in the same region, the
number of cases and deaths remained highest in Cambodia and the Philippines
in 2008. Overall, case management has improved in the Western Pacific
Region, leading to a decrease in case fatality rates. Dengue has also spread
throughout the Pacific Islands countries and areas.
Between 2001 and 2008, the six most affected Pacific island countries
and areas were French Polynesia (35 869 cases), New Caledonia (6836
cases), Cook Islands (3735 cases), American Samoa (1816 cases), Palau
(1108 cases), and the Federal States of Micronesia (664 cases). The total
number of deaths for the six island countries was 34 (official country reports).
Although no official have been submitted to WHO by Kiribati, did experience a
dengue outbreak in 2008, reporting a total of 837 cases and causing great
concern among the national authorities and some of the other countries in the
region.
Historically, dengue has been reported predominantly among urban
and peri-urban populations where high population density facilitates
transmission. However, evidence from recent outbreaks, as seen in Cambodia
in 2007, suggested that they are now occurring in rural areas.

CHAPTER 3
Research Design and Methodology
This chapter presents the research method, research locale, research

instrument, data gathering procedure, and statistical treatment.
Research Design
This study utilized the descriptive survey method. It aims to determine
the respondent's knowledge level of dengue awareness and prevention
practices among the respondents of barangay Alindahaw in Tukuran,
Zamboanga Del Sur. This method was employed because this study concerns
not only to determine the level of responses among the respondent’s variables
and independent variables, as well as the approach aims to obtain complete
and accurate information in using a researcher-made questionnaire.
Research Locale
This study was conducted at barangay Alindahaw, Tukuran Zamboanga
del Sur. The barangay was chosen considering its geographical location, and
there were reported cases of dengue disease among the 25 barangays of
Tukuran.
Research Participants
The Barangay Health-Based Leaders, Purok Leaders, and Household
Leaders in Barangay Alindahaw, Tukuran, Zamboanga Del Sur were the
participants of this study. A total of 97 participants were chosen as a
representative from the barangay. They were asked to answer the survey
questionnaires for the three variables. They were through random sampling.
Research Instrument
The main instrument in the gathering of data was the questionnaire-

checklist. It is was a self–made questionnaire materials checklist, which
typically consisted of a written question classified according to the sub-problem
raised in this study. The researchers gathered and read various references
18
such as books, Internet websites, approved thesis, and other related topics
constructing a reliable and valid instrument. The validity diagram, as shown in
figure 2, shows how researchers tested the validity of these self-made survey-
questionnaires. First, the researchers formulated the survey questionnaire, and
it was submitted to the adviser for correction. After a revision, it was sent again
to the adviser for checking and was tested through a pre-test to the other
respondents, and the result undergone the last revision for administration.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers asked permission to the Barangay Local Government
Unit of Alindahaw Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur. The Punong Barangay
approved the letter request; the researchers approached the Barangay Officials
to help administer the survey questionnaire. The researchers explained in
vernacular, after the used of visual aids to the respondents to have a clear view
of the objectives and importance of the study. After the constituents to statistical
analysis.
19
Statistical Treatment of Data
Responses from the collected data were statistically analyzed and
interpreted by the statistician using a descriptive statistic to assess the reaction
level of the correlated results. To determine the significant difference of the
respondent’s reaction level along with the three variables, a t-test will be employed.
The following treatments of data were used:
1. Weighted Mean. This was obtained by getting the summation of the
product of the frequency and the assigned weight divided by the total number of
participants.
2. T-test. This was used to test a significant difference between the
responses of the participants along with the variables on dengue awareness.

CHAPTER 4
Presentation, Analysis, and Interpretation of Data
This chapter presents the findings, analyses, and interpretations of the

data from the Barangay Health-Based Leaders, Purok Leaders, and Household
leaders of Barangay Alindahaw, Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur from their
responses to the survey questionnaire. The discussion followed the order of
presentation in the statement of the problems raised in Chapter 1.
There were nine barangay health-based leaders, eight purok leaders 80
household leaders randomly selected to participate as participants in the study.
These participants were identified through their willingness to be interviewed.
The qualitative categorization of the means of the variable was based on the
hypothetical mean range established to interpret the responses as Always, Often,
Seldom, and Never.
Increasing dengue awareness among the households of Barangay

Alindahaw in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur
According to Van Benthem (2002) which claimed that “people with higher
knowledge on dengue reported significantly higher use of prevention measure
than people with low knowledge” and of Chusongsang (2005), which reported that
“household leaders with a high level of knowledge had better dengue prevention
practices.”

education ones a month so that the community is aware (WM=3.78). This means
that the community actively response. In every purok, the barangay health worker
always disseminates information about dengue awareness (WM=4.00). The
barangay officials always monitor the proper dissemination of dengue awareness
(WM=4.00). To avoid an outbreak, the barangay conducted fogging (WM=3.78).
The barangay coordinates with the LGU about the dengue awareness forum
(WM=3.89). In fact, the RHU personnel visited the dengue victim (WM=4.00).
That’s why the barangay advocates effective response measures and
coordination about dengue prevention. (WM=4.00). On the other hand, it is helpful
that the barangay supervises the barangay health workers on conducting
advocacy and health promotion (WM=4.00). Being dependent, the barangay
ensures that dengue prevention is integrated into the barangay health plan.

cause of dengue (WM=3.14). They often apply mosquito repellent all over their
bodies (WM=2.71). This study was anchored on the reviews of Van Benthem (2002)
which claimed that “people with higher knowledge on dengue reported a
significantly higher use of prevention measure than people with low knowledge” and
of Chusongsang (2005) which reported that “household leaders with a high level of
knowledge had better dengue prevention practices”.

CHAPTER 5
Summary of Findings, Conclusion, and Recommendation
This section contains the findings, conclusion, and recommendations the

researchers had formulated in the course of the investigation.
Summary
This research aims to determine the knowledge level and practices

regarding dengue infections among rural residents in Alindahaw and to find the
best solutions to prevent this disease in the community, most notably to the most
affected area, wherein losses the lives of their loved ones.
This study used a descriptive survey method of research, which was relevant
in increasing dengue awareness among the households of Barangay Alindahaw
in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur: “respondents” measure to knowledge level
prevention and control.
It determined and qualified the attitudes and perspective of the group of
persons who provided the information needed in the research.
The data gathered were then tabulated using a descriptive statistic like
frequency, and percentage count, weighted mean, and t-test was employed to
determine the significant difference along with the variables used as indicated in
the study.
Findings
Based on the analysis and interpretation of the data gathered, the
following findings were drawn:
1. The barangay health-based leader’s response in the level of awareness

has an overall weighted mean of 3.934 and interpreted as always.
2. The barangay purok leaders’ response in the level of awareness has an
overall weighted mean of 3.926 and interpreted as always.
3. The Barangay Household Leaders response in the level of awareness an
overall weighted mean of 3.194 interpreted as often.
26
4. There is a significant difference between the participant's responses in
increasing dengue awareness among the households of barangay
Alindahaw in Tukuran, Zamboanga del Sur towards prevention and
control.
5. Majority of the participants agreed that adopting the 4s remains the
frontline solution in fighting dengue.
Conclusion
Based on the above findings, this study concludes that the participant’s level
of dengue awareness is different from each other depending on how they practice
the awareness in their respective jurisdiction as far as the three factors were
considered. However, the government's focus is to strengthen the implementation
of dengue prevention and control measures applying the 4s in fighting dengue,
search and destroy, self-protection measures, seek early consultation, and say no
indiscriminate fogging. This implies that health-based education factors,
community factors, and households are considered factors in increasing dengue
awareness.
Recommendations
In the light of findings and conclusion, the following were recommended:
1. The barangay local government should implement the ecological Solid

Waste Management Act No. 9003 of 2000. It will help the community the
proper disposal of waste to avoid a dirty environment.
2. For household leaders, this must observe the cleanliness in their
surroundings.
3. The health workers should also inform the community for conducting
advocacy and health promotion before June set on May and July
disseminate awareness prevention.
4. Purok leaders should disseminate the dengue awareness.
5. A similar study should also conduct with other communities to compare

participants’ responses and validate the current study using the same
27
parameters and leveling up awareness will be reflicated to other areas
within the municipality.
6. The 4’s campaign should be always be reminded.
7. Prevention awareness should always before rainy seasons (May-June).
The Barangay Local Government of Alindahaw, Tukuran, Zamboanga del

Sur has conducted the advocacy of dengue awareness with the help of the
community and with also the coordination of the Local Government Unit, to ensure
the prevention of dengue in their community. Hence, the researchers theorize that
“dengue disease can be eliminated coupled with proper advocacy, priority, and
inclusion in the annual budget of the barangay.”
