Purpose: This study aims to determine the variables that affect the incidence of dengue in the city of Bukittinggi both of the which affect direct or indirect, as well as to the application of the path analysis on the factors affecting the incidence of dengue.
Background: Path analysis is an analysis technique, which was developed from multiple regression analysis. This method is used to analyze the causal relationship that involves many variables such as incidence of dengue in the city of Bukittinggi.
Introduction: There are many variables that affect the incidence of dengue but it is not easy to find a more dominant variable because it will cause problems multicollinearity. So rather than it used path analysis to analyze the influence of direct and indirect incidence of dengue in
the models of the relationship between variables that are causality.
Methods: This study is a non-reactive primary using the data form of transmission of dengue and Secondary Data Profile Bukittinggi City Health Department in 2016 on the incidence of dengue in the city of Bukittinggi using path analysis. Sampling of this study was 103
respondents. The analysis of the data using multiple regressions and continued with path analysis.
Results: The research that has been done can be Obtained the results of path analysis Showed that there is influence between the variables of population density (p =0.0005; = 0376), mobility (p = 0.046; = 0102) sanitation (p =0.0005; = 0,436) and container index(p =0.047; = 0.096) on the incidence of dengue. After further analysis, there are variables that influence indirectly against dengue that age ( = 0491) and knowledge( = 0720).
Discussion: Based on analysis of this pathway are expected health workers to be Able to Increase public awareness in maintaining continuous environmental sanitation, especially residential houses are crowded and many have a container in the home that can hold water as mosquito breeding. The community is also always conducting Mosquito Nest Eradication in order to prevent the incidence of dengue in the city of Bukittinggi.
Limitation: The secondary dengue incidence of data using the data in Bukittinggi City Health department, so there is keeping the data still needs to be confirmed again.
Conclusion: It takes cooperation between health professionals and the public to always perform the PSN in order to Bukittinggi free from dengue incidence.
