Background The increase in dengue cases can be attributed to social, demographic, environmental changes, or community-driven factors. In this regard, different strategies have been established in health education, using educational interventions as necessary tools for the reduction of the disease with the aim of reinforcing and stimulating the prevention and control of dengue. Objective This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing educational intervention for dengue control. Methods A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with adults living in rural areas and participating in health promotion and disease prevention programs. We will enroll 116 adults. Adults will be randomized 1:1, with 58 adults assigned to the educational intervention group and 58 to the usual care group. Participants will receive 4 sessions over the course of a month, 1 week apart, and will be followed up for 1 month after the end of the educational intervention. Nursing Outcome Classification labels will be used to measure the outcomes: risk control (1902) and participation in health care decisions (1606). Results The participants in the intervention group are expected to achieve better dengue control behaviors than those in the usual care group. Conclusions Risk factors are fostered by the community, largely caused by artificial reservoirs or unprotected tanks in homes; also, the lack of information hinders the identification of symptomatology and the poor implementation of effective measures, and the development of standardized educational strategies can contribute to efficient and cost-effective control of the disease.

BACKGROUND The increase in dengue cases can be attributed to social, demographic, environmental changes or community-driven factors. In this regard, different strategies have been established from health education, using educational interventions as necessary tools for the reduction of the disease, with the aim of reinforcing and stimulating the prevention and control of dengue. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effectiveness of a nursing educational intervention for dengue control METHODS A randomized controlled trial will be conducted with adults living in rural areas and participating in health promotion and disease prevention programs. The study will enroll 116 adults. Adults will be randomized 1:1, with 58 adults assigned to the educational intervention group and 58 to the usual care group. Participants will receive four sessions over the course of a month, one week apart, and will be followed up for one month after the end of the educational intervention. Nursing Outcome Classification (NOC) labels will be used to measure the outcomes: risk control (1902) and participation in health care decisions (1606). RESULTS The participants in the intervention group are expected to achieve better dengue control behaviors than the participants in the usual care group. CONCLUSIONS Risk factors are fostered by the community, largely caused by artificial reservoirs or unprotected tanks in homes; also, the lack of information hinders the identification of symptomatology and the poor implementation of effective measures and the development of standardized educational strategies can contribute to efficient and cost-effective control of the disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
