Resumen
Objetivo Describir el padecimiento de la malaria en la Comuna 5 de San Andrés de Tumaco–Nariño, Colombia, en cuanto a conocimientos, actitudes, percepciones, y prácticas comunitarias.Materiales y Métodos Estudio de corte transversal, realizado entre enero y mayo de 2014. Se realizó análisis logístico de la encuesta CAP-PP de la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS). El modelamiento estadístico se ajustó a través del test del logaritmo de la verosimilitud, el Pseudo R2, el Akaike’s Information Criterion (AIC) y el Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC).Resultados Las variables que influyen en el padecimiento de la malaria son: tomar medicamentos, examen para malaria y control de vectores mediante rociamiento en casa. Es importante mantener las zanjas limpias alrededor de la vivienda para protegerse contra la enfermedad.Conclusión A pesar de que la población manifiesta tener conocimientos, actitudes, prácticas comunitarias y percepciones, estas no generan protección contra la enfermedad. Variables como la realización de actividades en la familia y el desconocimiento del nombre del mosquito que trasmite la malaria deben ser tenidas en cuenta para la formulación de planes de intervención comunitaria.
Objective To describe the condition of malaria in the District 5 of San Andres de Tumaco-Nariño-Colombia, with regards to knowledge, attitudes, perceptions, and community practices.Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and May 2014. Logistic analysis of the CAP-PP survey of the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) was carried out. Statistical modeling was adjusted through the logarithm of likelihood test, the Pseudo R2, the Akaike's Information Criterion (AIC) and the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). Results The variables that influence the disease of malaria are: taking medicines, malaria tests and vector control by spraying at home. It is important to keep clean ditches around the house in order for people to be protected against the disease.Conclusion Although the population reported having knowledge, attitudes, community practices, and perceptions about the issue, these do not generate protection against the disease. Variables such as carrying out activities in the family and ignorance about the name of the mosquito that transmits malaria must be taken into account for the formulation of community intervention plans.
