Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) adalah penyakit yang dapat menimbulkan syok dan kematian sehingga masyarakat perlu waspada dengan mengenal gejalanya. Untuk mengenali gejala DBD, masyarakat perlu diberikan pengetahuan melalui penyuluhan lalu dievaluasi. DBD banyak menginfeksi murid sekolah, sehingga penyuluhan diberikan kepada murid sekolah.Tujuan penelitian ini adalah mengetahui tingkat pengetahuan murid Madrasah Tsanawiyah (MTs) Negeri Bayah yang telah mendapat penyuluhan DBD. Desain penelitian ini adalah crosssectional. Data diambil pada tanggal 16-18 Oktober 2009 dengan mewawancarai 107 murid yang dipilih secara random.Hasil penelitian menunjukkan 1,9% murid tingkat pengetahuannya tergolong baik dan 94,2% tergolong kurang. Uji Kolmogorov-Smirnov menunjukkan tidak ada perbedaan bermakna antara tingkat pengetahuan murid MTs mengenai gejala DBD dengan jenis kelamin (p = 1,000), jumlah sumber informasi (p = 0,958), sumber informasi yang paling berkesan (p = 0,993) serta riwayat sakit DBD (p = 1,000). Disimpulkan tingkat pengetahuan murid MTs mengenai gejala DBD tidak berhubungan dengan karakteristik mereka. Oleh karena itu pengetahuan perlu ditingkatkan dengan memberikan penyuluhan yang lebih menarik tanpa memandang karakteristik murid.Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that can cause shock and death, therefore the community has to be aware about those symptoms.
