Abstract

BAY CITY, HAU GIANG PROVINCE IN 2023

Objectives: (1) Determine the proportion of people with correct knowledge and practice on dengue fever prevention. (2) Study some factors related to knowledge and correct practice on dengue fever prevention. Research subjects and research methods: Cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis on 537 people in Nga Bay City, Hau Giang Province in 2023. Results: The proportion of people with correct knowledge about dengue fever is 68% and incorrect is 32%. The proportion of people with correct practice on dengue fever prevention is 61% and incorrect is 39%. There is a relationship between age and communication on people's knowledge of dengue prevention, specifically people under 60 years old have a 2.52 times higher odds of correct knowledge than people over 60 years old (OR = 2.52; 95% CI: 1.71 - 3.72) and people who receive communication have a 5.75 times higher odds of correct knowledge than the group that does not receive communication (OR = 5.72; 95% CI: 1.7 - 18.5). The difference between the groups is statistically significant (P<0.05). There is a relationship between communication and people's practice. Specifically, people who have access to communication have a higher rate of correct practice (62.2%) than those who do not (35.7%), with OR = 2.958 and P = 0.045, the difference is statistically significant (P=0.045). There is a relationship between knowledge and practice of dengue prevention of the people, specifically those with correct knowledge have a difference of correct practice 1.68 times higher than those with incorrect knowledge, the difference is statistically significant (P=0.006)
