Objetivo: conocer si las intervenciones comunitarias que se han llevado a cabo para lograr el control de las arbovirosis han sido efectivas. Método: revisión bibliográfica basada en la recolección y análisis descriptivo y comparativo de datos relacionados con el control de, al menos, una de las siguientes arbovirosis: fiebre amarilla, dengue, chikungunya o zika desde la perspectiva comunitaria. La búsqueda se realizó en las bases de datos: Ovid/Medline(R), Pubmed y Scielo siguiendo los criterios de búsqueda que comprenden artículos originales y revisiones en inglés, español o portugués publicados entre 2013 y 2019 disponibles en internet, en texto completo, acceso libre. Resultados: se seleccionaron n= 11 estudios que evidencian que las intervenciones comunitarias son efectivas en el control de las arbovirosis. Estas produjeron un aumento del conocimiento de la población sobre las arbovirosis y de su interés en participar en acciones preventivas, así como una reducción en las densidades del vector. Conclusiones: las intervenciones comunitarias son efectivas y han de ser el eje fundamental en el control de las arbovirosis. El éxito en la prevención se basa en la participación comunitaria, en la educación para la salud y en cómo la población, mediante su empoderamiento, puede controlar los criaderos de mosquitos.
Purpose: to find out whether or not the community interventions that have been carried out to control arboviroses have been effective. Method: a literature review based on collection and analysis of descriptive and comparative data related to the control of at least one of the following arboviroses: yellow fever, dengue fever, chikungunya, or zika, from a community perspective. The following databases were searched: Ovid/Medline(R), Pubmed, and Scielo, using search criteria that included original articles and revisions in English, Spanish, or Portuguese, published between 2013-2019, available on the Internet, in full text and with a free access. Results: n= 11 studies showing that community interventions are effective in controlling arboviroses were selected. Such interventions resulted in an increased population's knowledge about arboviroses and an increased interest in participating in preventive measures, as well as a reduction in vector densities. Conclusions: community interventions are effective and must be the fundamental axis in the control of arboviroses. Success in the prevention of arboviroses is based on community involvement, health education and how people's empowerment can control mosquito breeding sites.
