Dengue is a disease that constitutes a public health problem difficult to control due to the multidimensionality of associated factors and the particularities of the territories. This article analyzes the notion of family empowerment related to the prevention and control of dengue in Córdoba, Colombia. From July to October 2023, using a qualitative approach, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 30 family groups located in the municipalities of San Andrés de Sotavento, San Bernardo del Viento, Pueblo Nuevo, and Montería, selected for being indigenous, Afro-descendant, or rural and urban populations in vulnerable conditions. The results show that families, beyond their particular arrangements in terms of structure and dynamics, are aware of their role in the prevention and control of diseases, identifying the capacities required to face dengue. However, they reproduce narratives of conceptual and power dominance that assign a greater commitment on the part of educational and health agents to promote alternatives that contribute to reducing the risks of dengue. The challenges that must be faced for effective family empowerment are discussed, so that prevention practices gain greater strength.
登革热是一种公共卫生问题，由于相关因素的多维度性和领土的特殊性，难以控制。本文分析了与哥伦比亚科尔多瓦登革热预防和控制相关的家庭赋权概念。2023 年 7 月至 10 月，采用定性方法，对来自 San Andrés de Sotavento、San Bernardo del Viento、Pueblo Nuevo 和 Montería 市的 30 个家庭群体进行了半结构化访谈，这些家庭群体是根据其在结构和动态方面的特点选择的，包括土著、非裔和农村和城市弱势群体。结果表明，家庭不仅在结构和动态方面有其特殊的安排，而且意识到自己在疾病预防和控制方面的作用，确定了应对登革热所需的能力。然而，他们复制了概念和权力主导的叙述，认为教育和卫生机构应该承担更大的责任，推广有助于降低登革热风险的替代方案。讨论了为实现有效的家庭赋权而必须面对的挑战，以使预防措施更具影响力。
