Abstract

The objectives of this cross-sectional descriptive research were to determine the behavior of people towards chikungunya disease prevention and to analyse the relationship of predisposing, reinforcing, and enabling factors of behavior related to chikungunya disease prevention. The sample size was 306 people in Bangpu Subdistrict, Mueang Samut Prakan District, Samut Prakan Province and the participants were selected by using systematic random sampling. The tools used for data collection were questionnaires where the participants answered themselves. The questionnaire consisted of personal information, predisposing factors, reinforcing factors, enabling factors and attitude towards chikungunya disease prevention. The study was conducted between August and December 2019. We analysed the relationship between predisposing factors, reinforcing factors, enabling factors and attitude towards chikungunya disease prevention by using Spearman’s rank correlation analysis.

The results showed that the attitude towards chikungunya disease prevention of the people was positive and at a high level (=3.03, SD=0.54). The predisposing factors and the reinforcing factors had no significant correlation with the attitude to chikungunya disease prevention. But the enabling factors and in each aspect : the sufficiency of resources for preventing chikungunya disease, and skills in using resources to prevent chikungunya disease had positive correlation with the attitude at a significance level of 0.05 (r=0.336, 0.266, 0.324, p-value =0.000). The results of this research suggest that local authorities in the area should provide resources for preventing chikungunya disease, and help developing skills in using resources to prevent chikungunya disease.
