The community capacity building for sustainable dengue problem solution (CCB-SDPS) model: The results from studies in community, southern region, Thailand

Abstract

This paper provides an approach for sustainable dengue problem solution by the community capacity building model and the results of two studies from implementation the model in Southern region, Thailand. The conceptual framework of the CCB-SDPS model consisted of three dimensions; 1) community-based (leader and nonleader in community), 2) community capacity building process, and 3) sustainable dengue problem solution (outcomes). The outcomes of studies focused on the capacity level by the DCCAT (14 domains of leader group, and 11 domains of non-leader group), dengue entomology (Larval) index, and epidemiological (morbidity and mortality) rate. The two studies were pilot study in high risk dengue areas. These studies were application of CCB-SDPS model. First study was the process of using the tool for testing the DCCAT in two communities. The results showed only three steps of using assessment tool; community preparation, assessment, and community hearing. The second study was the fully testing model in three communities. Participatory action research and mix methods; quantitative and qualitative collecting data were preparation community-based, building capacity process (assessment, plan, implement, and reassessment), and outcomes monitoring. The results of second study showed three models of the CCB-SDPS. The two studies confirmed the sustainable in after intervention of community capacity building such as increased capacity level of leader and non-leader group, deceased entomological indices (HI, BI, and CI), and non presentation of morbidity and mortality rate in during study period. These results showed the model conducing on contexts of each community such the three dimensions of the conceptual framework of the model, community-based, building capacity process, and measurement of outcomes of sustainable dengue problem solution. These experiences in Southern Thailand demonstrated the main keys to the approach of CCB-SDPS were in the use of strategies planning to initiate community capacity building towards sustained dengue problem solution.

Effect of Vector Control Strategy on Reduction of Dengue Fever Cases on Children of Elementary School

“…Implementation of all community members of the school and activate the larva examiner health business program student as an effort to reduce the cycle of dengue transmitter reproduction by empowerment which is done by increasing the knowledge and skills of vector control. This is in line with the research conducted by Chanuai Suwamnbamrung, 11 suggests that community and community leaders can lower the entomology vector indicator of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever that is house index (HI), container index (CI) and breteau index (BI) and build sustainability ) program.…”

Development of a Complex Intervention Package for Dengue Prevention

“…Notably, the author suggested that in cooperation of similar programs for prevention of dengue through behavioural change to the public health system of Sri Lanka seems feasible and cost effective (Wijesundara, 2009). Moreover, a community-based dengue prevention and control process enables key stakeholders in the community to actively prevent and control their dengue problem (Suwanbamrung, 2012). Therefore, the present study was based on COMBI method after conducting situation marketing analysis by quantitative evaluation and FGD among volunteers in the community, healthcare workers and non-health sector stakeholders.…”

“…al, 2004), Colombia (Luna et. al, 2004), Hulu Langat (Rozhan, 2006) and Thailand (Suwanbamrung, 2012) revealed that the interpersonal communication is an effective way to achieve greater success of a community-based programme. Therefore, the present study aimed to empower the community by developing a sustainable dengue control process at the grass root level with the involvement of multi-stakeholders.…”
