Abstract

This descriptive research aimed to study the participation of population to prevent and control chikungunya fever and factors that associated with the participation of population in the prevention and control of chikungunya fever. The samples consisted of 354 participants recruited from households living in the areas under the control of Nong Sarai Primary Care Cluster. The samples were obtained using a stratified sampling method. The research instruments were self-reported questionnaires. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics Chi-squared test, Fisher’s exact test and Spearman correlation coefficient. The results revealed that 46.9% of samples had a high level on the participation of population to prevent and control chikungunya fever. The selected predisposing, enabling, reinforcing factors were significantly associated with the people’s participation to prevent and control chikungunya fever. The four predisposing factors were being a village health volunteer (p<0.001), being a community leader (p<0.01), knowledge about chikungunya fever (rs=0.525, p<0.01) and the perception about chikungunya fever (rs=0.336, p<0.01). The enabling factor was the accessibility of prevention equipment for chikungunya fever (p<0.001). In addition, the three reinforcing factors were given information (p<0.01), being trained on chikungunya fever (p<0.001) and given document/leaflet/manual for the prevention of chikungunya fever (p<0.001). The related authorities should encourage the participation of people in prevention and control of chikungunya fever for every procedure that support the cooperation of sustainable community participation.
