0371/2018 - Experiencia y percepción del riesgo asociados a conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre dengue en riohacha, Colombia. Experience and perception of risk associated with knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding dengue in riohacha, Colombia.
Para el control del dengue es esencial el reconocimiento de los determinantes de los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas (CAP), los cuales podrían estar condicionados por las experiencias y percepciones de la población a riesgo. Objetivo: estimar la asociación entre la percepción del riesgo y la experiencia de dengue con los CAP sobre dengue, en una población endémica de Colombia. Metodología: estudio analítico de corte transversal y muestreo probabilístico, polietápico por conglomerados. Como medidas de asociación se estimaron las razones de prevalencia ajustadas (RPa) usando modelos de regresión. Resultados: se entrevistaron 206 familias. El 7% saben que la enfermedad del dengue es causada por un virus y menos del 40% reconocen otros síntomas diferentes a la fiebre. El 31% practica la eliminación de criaderos y el 58% fumiga como estrategias de control. El 73% percibe el riesgo de dengue. Se estimó una asociación significativa de la percepción del riesgo de dengue con el conocimiento sobre el vector (RPa=3,32 IC95% 1,06–10,36). Además, el antecedente de diagnóstico de dengue se asoció con la actitud frente a su control (RPa=1,61 IC95% 1,09–2,37). Conclusión: la percepción del riesgo y la experiencia con dengue podrían ser determinantes de los CAP en relación a esta enfermedad.

Abstract:
In order to control dengue is essential to recognize the determinants of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP), which could be conditioned by the experiences and perceptions of the population at risk. Objective: to estimate the relationship between the risk perception and diagnosis dengue experiences with KAPs on dengue in an endemic Colombian population. Methodology: We conducted a cross-sectional study with multi-stage random sampling. As association measures, adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) were estimated using regression models. Results: 206 families were interviewed. 7% knew the viral nature of dengue and less than 40% reported other symptoms than fever. 31% eliminated breeding sites and 58% fumigated, as control strategies. 73% perceived the risk of dengue. There were associations between the perception of dengue risk and the knowledge on the vector (aPR=3,32 CI95% 1,06–10,36), and the experience of diagnosis of dengue with the attitude towards dengue control (aPR=1,61 CI95% 1,09–2,37). Conclusion: risk perception and experiences with dengue could play a determining role in a community behavior.
