Conocimiento acerca de la enfermedad del dengue en los departamentos de la región de la selva del Perú reportado por la Encuesta Nacional de Programas Presupuestales 2019

Abstract

El objetivo del estudio fue determinar el conocimiento que posee la población que habita en los departamentos de la región de la selva del Perú acerca de la enfermedad del dengue según los resultados de la Encuesta Nacional de Programas Presupuestales 2019. Para ello, se resumió mediante estadística descriptivas las variables dependientes, las cuales son el departamento, la ubicación del hogar, el sexo y el estrato socioeconómico, y las independientes, las cuales son el conocimiento de los métodos de transmisión, síntomas, acciones a tomar en caso de presentarlos y métodos de prevención de la enfermedad. Estas variables fueron presentadas mediante tablas de frecuencia. Se halló que el 77.3% de la población conocen el mecanismo de transmisión del virus, mientras que un porcentaje menor a 5% se inclinan a otros mecanismos. Entre los síntomas más reconocidos por la población estudiada está la fiebre (84.3%) y el dolor de cabeza (60.8%). Un 89.8% de la población sabe que debe acudir a centros de salud en casos de presentar signos relacionados a la enfermedad, pero la única acción preventiva conocida por más del 50% de la población fue el desecho de recipientes que pueden acumular agua (55.3%). Este estudio fue realizado debido a que el Aedes es un vector que está incrementando su número y expandiéndose debido al calentamiento global, incrementando los casos de dengue ocasionando pérdidas humanas y económicas. Por lo tanto, el conocimiento de la enfermedad por parte de los pobladores es un aspecto clave para la eliminación de la enfermedad en nuestro país y cuya difusión está encargada a las autoridades de salud del estado peruano.

The objective of this study was to determine the knowledge about dengue of the population who live in the departments of the Peruvian jungle region, according to the results of the 2019 National Budget Program Survey. To do this, descriptive statistics shall be used to summarize the dependent variables, which are the department, location of the home, the gender and the socioeconomic stratum and the independent variables, which are the knowledge of transmission method of the disease, symptoms, actions to be taken in case that these symptoms appear and prevention methods of the disease. These variables were analyzed and presented in frequency tables. It was found that 77.3% of the population know the mechanism of transmission of the virus, while a percentage less than 5% are inclined to other mechanisms. Among the symptoms, the most recognized by the population studied were fever (84.3%) and headache (60.8%). 89.8% of the population knows that they should go to a health center in case of presenting signs related to the disease, but the only preventive action known to more than 50% of the population was the disposal of containers that can accumulate water (55.3%). This study made because Aedes is a vector that is increasing in number and expanding due to global warming, increasing the dengue cases and causing human and economic losses. Therefore, the knowledge of the disease by the inhabitants is a key aspect for the elimination of this disease in our country and whose information dissemination is in charge of the health authorities of the Peruvian state.
