登革热仍然是老挝发病率的重要原因。公众对登革热预防的良好知识、态度和做法(KAP)是成功控制疾病所必需的。老挝普通民众对登革热知识、态度和行为知之甚少。这是一项KAP关于登革热的家庭调查，在老挝首都万象的一个城市周边的巴克-恩古姆地区进行。两阶段整群抽样方法被用来选择代表一般社区的参与者样本。来自231个家庭的参与者使用面试者管理的问卷进行了调查。虽然97%的人听说过登革热，但对登革热的认识还不够深入：33%的人不知道疟疾和登革热是不同的疾病；32%的人错误地认为伊蚊传播疟疾；36%的人不能正确报告伊蚊在日出和日落时叮咬的频率； <； 10%的人认识到室内水箱可能是伊蚊的滋生地点。态度水平中等良好，有很高比例(96%)的参与者认识到登革热是一种严重但可预防的疾病。自我报告的预防方法相当高，但对参与者院子的观察显示，预防方法的使用仅适中。大部分受访者(93%)认为他们没有足够的登革热知识。良好的知识和较好的做法之间存在关联，但良好的知识与较差的态度相关。巴古姆社区对登革热缺乏深入了解，观察方法显示，社区成员需要采取更多措施来防止伊蚊的传播。
Dengue remains an important cause of morbidity in Laos. Good knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) among the public regarding dengue prevention are required for the success of disease control. Very little is known about dengue KAP among the Lao general population. This was a KAP household survey on dengue conducted in a peri-urban Pak-Ngum district of Vientiane capital, Laos. A two-stage cluster sampling method was used to select a sample of participants to represent the general community. Participants from 231 households were surveyed using an interviewer-administered questionnaire. Although 97% of the participants heard of dengue, there was a lack of depth of knowledge on dengue: 33% of them did not know that malaria and dengue were different diseases, 32% incorrectly believed that Aedes mosquito transmits malaria, 36% could not correctly report that Aedes mosquitoes bite most frequently at sunrise and sunset; and < 10% of them recognized that indoor water containers could be Aedes mosquito breeding sites. Attitude levels were moderately good with a high proportion (96%) of participants recognizing that dengue was a severe yet preventable disease. Self reported prevention methods were quite high yet observation of the participants’ yards showed use of prevention methods to be only moderate. The majority (93%) of the interviewees did not believe that they had enough information on dengue. There was an association between good knowledge and better practices, but good knowledge was associated with worse attitudes. There is a lack of depth of knowledge regarding dengue in Pak-Ngum community and observation methods revealed that more needs to be done by community members themselves to prevent the spread of Aedes mosquitoes.
