Abstract

Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a disease that is transmitted through the bite of Aedes albopictus and Aedes aegypti mosquitoes which carry the Dengue virus.  A person's behavior in preventing DHF is influenced by their motivation. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the level of Adversity Quotient (AQ) with the motivation of DHF preventive behavior among students of Ma'arif 02 Islamic Junior High School Sukun, Malang City. The research design used correlation with a cross sectional approach.  The study population was 134 students with a sample size of 100 students. Samples were taken using proportional stratified random sampling technique. The independent variable is the level of AQ and the dependent variable is the motivation for preventive behavior of DHF events. The instruments used were the Adversity Response Profile (ARP) questionnaire and the motivation level Likert scale questionnaire. Data analysis used Spearman rank test. The results of this study showed that the AQ level of Ma'arif Islamic 02 Sukun Junior High School students, Malang City was almost entirely Campers and the motivation level was mostly low. The results of data analysis show quite significant results with a p − value = 0.004 (< 0.05). These results prove the relation between the level of AQ with the motivation to prevent DHF in students of Ma'arif 02 Islamic Junior High School Sukun, Malang City.
