Abstract
Dengue fever (DF) remains a major health problem in Indonesia, including in the Kubu Raya District, West Kalimantan. Student involvement as young volunteers of the Larva Monitoring Project (Jumantik Cilik) is expected to be an effective prevention strategy. This Jumantik Cilik training aims to improve students’ knowledge about DF and the Dengue Vector Control (PSN). The program involved 50 fifth- and sixth-grade students from Elementary School 09 Kubu Raya through lectures, audiovisual presentations, and hands-on practice. Knowledge was assessed using pretest and posttest questionnaires. The average pretest score was 6.46 (95% CI: 6.10–6.81), and the posttest average score was 9.06 (95% CI: 8.83–9.28). The Shapiro-Wilk test confirmed a normal distribution (p>0.05), and the Paired t-Test showed significant differences between the pretest and posttest scores (p<0.001). These findings show that Jumantik Cilik training effectively increased students’ knowledge of DF and PSN. This strategy is applicable as an educational approach to support sustainable Dengue control and can be replicated in other schools.
