preventive behavior, Aedes mosquito-borne diseases, population aged over 15 yearsAbstract
This descriptive study was to examine the factors related to preventive behavior in Aedes mosquito-borne diseases. Data were collected from 632 samples aged over 15 years using a self-constructed questionnaire and 50 supporters on mosquito-borne disease prevention by interview and focus group discussion. Data were analyzed by frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation (SD). Chi-squared, Fisher’s exact, and Cramer’s V tests were performed to find the relationship between factors and level of relationship. The study found that age, education, occupation and family income were related to preventive behavior in dengue mosquito-borne diseases. Moreover, knowledge about dengue mosquito-borne diseases, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, perceived benefits, perceived barriers, and perceived self-efficacy were related to preventive behavior in dengue mosquito-borne diseases. Thus, to generate the correct perception, knowledge, and understanding leading to the appropriate preventive behaviors, all stakeholders should adjust the communicative methods and time periods in communication of Aedes mosquito-borne diseases in compliance with lifestyle of people, set the measures to promote the participation of people, and provide the local regulations or ordinances to prevent the transmission of Aedes mosquito-borne diseases.
