A Systematic Review of Asian Households’ Dengue-Related Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices

Abstract Globally, dengue is the most common vector-borne viral infection in the current century, which results in high morbidity and mortality globally. It is a preventable infection, and the success of dengue control depends largely on good knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAPs) of targeted communities towards the disease and its preventive measures. Therefore, this present study reviews and analyses two decades of research on KAPs towards dengue among Asian households. The PRISMA approach is used in the study to conduct a systematic literature review on dengue-related KAPs. Major search engines were used in the completion of studies published between 2010 and 2022. The findings revealed that, while the majority of the respondents demonstrated adequate dengue-related knowledge, attitudes, and preventive practices, some loops required significant improvement. Authorities should continue to prioritize health education campaigns and programs to boost households’ knowledge and understanding of dengue.
