“…The health belief model approach is used because it is appropriate to form a model for changing attitudes towards dengue control related to perceptions of dengue threat, benefits of dengue control programs, and perceptions of constraints. 38,39 Environmental factors affect the transmission of dengue infection. Dengue is transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito, which breeds in water containers.…”

Background: Dengue fever is still a public health issue in Indonesia, and during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, integrated digital technology will be required for its control. This study aims to identify critical indicators influencing attitudes towards dengue control related to the potential for implementing digital technology. Methods: This was a cross-sectional survey, with 515 people willing to fill out an online questionnaire. The analysis was conducted using Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). There were 46 indicators used to assess attitudes toward dengue control, which were organized into six variables: the need for digital information systems, perceptions of being threatened with dengue, the benefits of dengue control programs, program constraints, environmental factors and attitudes in dengue control. Results: The source of information needed for dengue control was mainly through social media. There was a positive relationship between perception of environmental factors to perception of dengue threat, perception of program constraints, perception of program benefits, and perception of digital technology needs. Perception of program benefits and threatened perception of dengue have a positive relationship with perception of digital technology needs. Conclusions: This model showed the variables perception of digital technology and perception of benefits had a positive association with attitude towards dengue control

Background Appropriate malaria treatment-seeking behaviour (TSB) is critical for timely detecting malaria, prompt treatment, and prevention of onward transmission of the disease in a community. This study aimed to compare treatment-seeking behaviours between malaria patients and non-malaria febrile patients, and to analyse the factors associated with appropriate TSB along the China-Myanmar border. Methods A cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the appropriate TSB of microscopy-confirmed malaria patients versus non-malaria febrile (NMF) patients. An unconditional logistic regression analysis (LRA) was used to identify factors associated with appropriate TSB. Results Among 223 malaria patients and 446 NMF patients, 129 (57.8%) of the malaria patients versus 163 (36.5%) of the NMF patients firstly sought treatment in health facilities without laboratory testing for malaria (P < 0.0001). A total of 85(38.1%) of the malaria patients versus 278 (62.3%) of the NMF patients had appropriate TSB, namely, seeking treatment in health facilities with laboratory testing for malaria within 48 h (P < 0.0001). Multivariate LRA identified that the malaria patients with Chinese nationality had less appropriate TSB compared to those with other nationalities (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.21, 95% confidence interval CI 0.07–0.68, P = 0.0097), and malaria patients residing in urban areas had more appropriate TSB compared to those living in rural areas (AOR: 2.16, 95%CI 1.06–4.39, P = 0.0337). Conclusions TSB was not appropriate in malaria patients. Chinese citizenship and rural residence were two independent factors associated with inappropriate malaria TSB. It is urgently necessary to improve appropriate malaria TSB through effective campaigns of information, education, and communication for malaria control in Myanmar and preventing reestablishment of malaria transmission in Yunnan, China.

Background Appropriate malaria treatment-seeking behavior (MTSB) is critical to timely detect malaria for prompt treatment and prevent onward transmission of the diseases in a community. The aim of this study was to compare treatment-seeking behaviours between malaria patients and non-malaria febrile patients, and analyse factors associated with appropriate MTSB along China-Myanmar border. Methods This case-control study matched one malaria case patient confirmed by microscopy to two controls (non-malaria febrile patients). Factors associated with appropriate MTSB was identified by a matched logistic regression analysis (LRA). Results Among 223 malaria case patients and 446 controls, 129 (57.8%) of the cases sought treatment first in health facilities without laboratory test compared to 163 (36.5%) of the controls (P<0.0001). A total of 85(38.1%) of the malaria case patients sought treatment in health facilities with laboratory test within 48 hours as compared with 278 (62.3%) of the controls (P<0.0001). Multivariate LRA identified that the malaria cases with Chinese nationality were less likely to seek treatment for malaria in health facilities with laboratory testwithin 48 hours compared to malaria cases with other nationalities (adjusted odds ratio [AOR]: 0.21, 95%CI: 0.07-0.68, P=0.0097), and malaria case patients residing in urban areas were more likely to seek treatment in health facilities with laboratory test within 48 hours compared to those living in rural areas (AOR: 2.16, 95%CI: 1.06-4.39, P=0.0337). Conclusions Malaria treatment-seeking behaviors were inappropriate. Chinese citizenship and rural residence are two independent factors associated with inappropriate MTSB. It is continuously necessary to improve appropriate MTSB through effective campaigns of information, education and communication.
