[PDF] Knowledge, attitudes, and practices related to dengue among public school teachers in a Central Luzon Province in the Philippines: an analytic cross-sectional study | Semantic Scholar (2024)

Assessment of community engagement through student-led science in promoting dengue prevention and socioecological factors in the temperate urban city of Córdoba, Argentina showed a significant increase in knowledge about the vector and the disease and respondents' adoption of good preventive practices.

Significant SHS-associated factors identified were age group 41–50 years old, Malay, and respondents who know that mosquito can breed in open container with stagnant water, disagree that reducing Aedes mosquitoes is the only way to prevent dengue, and go to clinic/hospital even without severe symptoms.

Findings suggest that better knowledge does not necessarily lead to better practice of dengue measures and wide range of information, skills and support must be provided by the government to increase d Dengue awareness among residents.

Evaluated people’s knowledge, attitude and practice surveys provide a suitable tool to evaluate existing programs and to identify effective strategies for behaviour change on dengue disease and mosquitoes and showed no association between demographic variables and knowledge on d Dengue symptoms, on mosquitoes and denge virus transmission and preventive practices.

Dengue prevention programs are required to increase KAP levels regarding dengue in the communities of Aceh, Indonesia, and a significant positive correlation between knowledge and attitudes, knowledge and practice, and attitudes and practice was found.

Despite the rapid expansion of DENV in Nepal, the knowledge of people about DF was very low and massive awareness programmes are urgently required to protect the health of people from DF and to limit its further spread.

There was good knowledge among teachers on vector transmission of ZIKV but poor knowledge on other aspects of the disease, which can be explained by the absence of a personal encounter with a Zika patient and the low number of cases in the Philippines.

A cross-sectional survey was conducted to assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practices concerning dengue and its vector Aedes mosquito among selected rural communities in the Kuala Kangsar district and found that good knowledge does not necessarily lead to good practice.

The study highlights the importance of behavioral change for knowledge and attitude to have significant effect to practices against DF and recommends two comprehensive health programs, Communication for Behavioral Impact (COMBI) and Health Belief Model (HBM).
