Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is a contagious disease that is still a public health problem in Indonesia. The purpose of this study was to analyze factors associated with the incidence of dengue fever in the district Dringu Probolinggo. This study was an observational study with cross sectional study design. Sampling was done using cluster random sampling with multistage cluster random sampling method. The results showed that there are four variables related to the incidence of dengue that respondents’ knowledge about the incidence of dengue (p = 0.004), the action of the respondents on the prevention of dengue (p = 0.025), the use of gauze on ventilation (p = 0.035), and the presence of larvae at home respondents (p = 0.044). Knowledge of the respondents have been good, but there are some that are still lacking so it is necessary to increase the respondents’ knowledge about dengue fever. DBD has a good precaution, but there were respondents who still has a moderate value. The use of gauze on the ventilation is still lacking. Lack of use of gauze on ventilation due to ignorance of respondents with benefits gauze. Public Health Center (PHC) and Health Department should improve socialization activities such as outreach to increase public knowledge about the incidence of dengue in order to reduce the number of dengue incidence.

Background: Obstetric violence is a worldwide public health problem, which seems greater in Spain. As no studies were found that identify the most representative healthcare professionals, times, and areas involved in obstetric violence, the objective of this work was to study at what time of maternity, with which professionals, and in what areas women identified obstetric violence. Methods: This descriptive, retrospective, and cross-sectional study was performed from January 2018 to June 2019. The main variables were the area (hospital, primary care, both), the time (pregnancy, birth, puerperium), and the professionals attending to women. Results: Our sample comprised 17,541 participants. The area identified with the most obstetric violence for the different studied variables was hospitals. Women identified more obstetric violence at time of birth. Findings such as lack of information and informed consent (74.2%), and criticism of infantile behavior and treatment (87.6%), stood out. The main identified healthcare professionals were midwives and gynecologists, and “other” professionals repeatedly appeared. Conclusions: Having identified the professionals, times, and areas of most obstetric violence in Spain, it seems necessary to reflect on not only the Spanish National Health System’s structure and management but also on healthcare professionals’ training.
