Objetivos. Evaluar los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre dengue, medidas de prevención y control, e identificar los factores asociados a su desconocimiento, en alumnos de una institución educativa estatal. Diseño. Estudio observacional transversal. Lugar. Institución educativa estatal en Chorrillos, Lima, Perú. Participantes. Alumnos de educación primaria. Métodos. En el año 2013, se encuestaron 142 alumnos del quinto y sexto grado de educación primaria y se exploró la percepción en 12 brigadieres en base a la técnica proyectiva. Principales medidas de resultados. Conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas sobre dengue. Resultados. El 53,5 % (76) era varón y el promedio de edad fue 11,2 con ± 1,05 años. El 33,1 % (47; IC95% 25,4 a 41,4) de los estudiantes tenía un conocimiento básico de dengue y 53,5% (76) identificaron la forma de transmisión vectorial del dengue. El 29,6 % (42; IC95% 22,2 a 37,8) de los escolares reconocieron las larvas y 54,2% (77) la forma adulta del vector. El 5,6% (8) y 2,1% (3) de los encuestados identificaron el larvicida y el cambio de arena húmeda de los floreros como medidas de prevención de la infestación domiciliaria. El 75,4% (75; IC95% 67,4 a 82,2) de los niños aceptarían participar en la búsqueda del vector, con diferencias significativas entre los niños y las niñas (p=0,049238). El no haber recibido información previa se asoció a no tener conocimiento básico de dengue (OR=3,7; IC95% 1,7 a 8,3; p= 0,0004676). Conclusiones. Los conocimientos de los estudiantes sobre los signos y síntomas y la forma de transmisión del dengue, las características del vector y las medidas de prevención del dengue fueron bajos y el no recibir información se asoció al desconocimiento del dengue.

“…This step followed the consensus of all stakeholders reached at the meeting in the assessment step. These results indicated that the high risk of dengue in primary schools was from both primary school and their householders [20]. Data feedback to the school involved discussion with the primary schools using the results from the preparation and exploration step.…”

The results of this step were high risk of dengue problem because highly level of dengue indices (BI, HI, and CI) in primary schools (200, 60, and 8), and their households (754, 77, and 35) [20]. There were five questions for which more than 80% of students answered correctly such as: question number 2; 9; 10; 14 and 15 (82.5%; 84.3%; 89.2%; 95.8%; and 82.4%, respectively).…”

Dengue disease had been the significant health problem of the primary school in southern Thailand. The objective was to develop the participatory program for dengue prevention and control in five primary schools. Participatory action research (PAR) was applied in five steps: 1) preparation, 2) assessment, 3) education program development, 4) implementation and 5) evaluation. Data collection used quantitative and qualitative methods in five primary schools in Southern, Thailand. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square (χ 2) test were used to compare between pre-and post-intervention. Larval Indices were obtained from ratio analysis. The results showed the participatory program consisted of nine important activities for all stakeholders involving dengue problem. Health teacher's activities and student's activities were eight activities consisted of knowledge training, dengue manual, Computer Assisted Instructor (CAI), test, dengue data, larval indices survey, fish bank, and herbal garden. The seven activities of health provider were knowledge training, dengue manual, CAI, testing, dengue data, larval indices survey, and larval indices program. Three activities for students' parents included dengue manual, dengue data, and larval indices survey. The 290 students were participating activities in education program and increasing basic knowledge of dengue prevention and control. Comparing the number of correct answers, >80% of students between pre-and post-intervention were found to increase basic knowledge from five correct answers to ten, and of these six items were significantly different (P < 0.001). The two * Corresponding author. C. Suwanbamrung et al. 1256 primary schools were continuing non-positive containers (Container Index: CI = 0), but the total larval indices (Breteau Index: BI, House Index: HI, and Container Index: CI) of five primary schools showed high levels both pre-and post-intervention in primary schools; whereas, the students' households showed high level of BI, HI and CI both pre-and post-intervention (754, 77, and 35 to 616, 81, and 32). Conclusion: The program was needed to continue in primary school and participate from health teacher, health provider, and students' parents in order to be of great benefit for students.

“…DHF is a disease caused by the dengue virus that is transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito (Moektiwardoyo et al, 2014;Natalia et al, 2013). Herbal medicines has already used (Lin et al, 2014;Jain et al, 2008) to encourage the pain of hemorrhagic fever (DHF) (Suwanbamrung et al, 2013;Zunjar et al, 2016). Papaya extract is also can be used as anti DHF (Ahmad et al, 2011).…”

Research on physical interaction of chitosan-alginate entrapping extract of papaya leaf (Carica papaya L) into submicron particles formation has been performed. Preparation of papaya leaf extract into submicron particle dosage form of chitosan and sodium alginate polymer using ionic gelation method aimed to increase the solubility of extract. Submicron particles consisting of papaya leaf extract, chitosan, sodium alginate and CaCl2 were combined using variation of stirrer speed of 500, 750, and 1000 RPM. The optimum formula obtained has a speed of 1000 RPM with the percent EE value of 71.90%. The results of submicron particles characterization such as diameter and particle size distribution (PDI) using particle size analyzer (PSA) tools were 189.2 nm and 0.330. The results of XRD revealed the changes of type of crystalinity form to amorphous on submicron particles. The results of FTIR revealed the physical interaction without shifting of wave number of carbonyl, amine, and hydroxyl group which indicated that there were no chemical interactions occurred. These data indicated that papaya extract can be formulated into submicron particles of chitosan-alginate polymer.

Risk factors related to dengue infections in primary school students: Exploring students’ basic knowledge of dengue and examining the larval indices in southern Thailand

Abstract: Risk factors for dengue were related to the students' basic knowledge of dengue and to the larval indices in both the schools and the students' households. Additionally, a coordinated effort will be required to eliminate Aedes aegypti mosquito breeding sites in the community.
