Abstract: (379 Views)
Background: The risk factors and conditions that increase dengue fever cases and outbreaks in endemic areas needs to be identified to determine the specific prevention and control efforts required. This study aimed to determine the particular needs of dengue intervention in Palopo City.
Materials and Methods: Housewives in Palopo City's East Wara Sub-District were interviewed for the case-control study's data. There were 168 homes in the sample overall, 84 of which had dengue cases and 84 did not. Patients with dengue fever, as determined by hospital laboratory tests employing the NS1 antigen RDT and IgM-IgG antibodies from the Palopo City Health Office and public health center (PHC) reports in 2021, were considered cases in this research. The neighbors of cases who had never been diagnosed with dengue fever were the closest controls.
Result: Respondent achievement level (RAL) was poor for seven out of seventeen attitude statement points and low for four out of eleven practice statements. Most of the potential countainers for dengue were discovered beyond the residence. In Palopo City, household larval density (CI>20%) was associated with a higher incidence of dengue illness (OR 2.173, 95%CI 1.097-4.304). The knowledge, attitude, practice, waste management, buildings and abandoned locations, and mobility were not demonstrated to be dengue fever risk factors in this study.
Conclusions: An intervention to promote community awareness of dengue fever prevention and vector control is to enhance specific knowledge about dengue fever through better counseling.
