Aedes mosquito is the primary vector of emerging or re-emerging arboviruses that threaten public health worldwide. Many efforts have been made to develop interventions to control the Aedes mosquito. This scoping review was conducted to identify the nature and scope of educational interventions to prevent and control diseases transmitted through the Aedes mosquito. The findings can be used to evaluate, compare, and develop appropriate control strategies.
The present scoping review was conducted in 2023 and used Arksey and O'Malley's approach, which involves five key stages. To search for academic papers, PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus and ScienceDirect databases were used with a combination of keywords about Aedes mosquitoes, educational interventions, and disease prevention and control. The search was not limited by the publication date, yet only included studies published in English. Studies were included that reported the educational interventions about Aedes mosquito control at the community or organizational level. The screening of papers was done based on the PRISMA-ScR guideline. Excel 2019 was used for data analysis.
Initially, 3,172 papers were extracted, and after screenings and reviews, a total number of 45 final papers were selected. The studies focused on educational interventions. Twenty interventional studies were at the organizational level and 25 at the community level. The latter was the most commonly used strategy. Interventions using educational approaches have achieved sustainable results. Out of the forty-five studies, twenty-one were assessed to have a low risk of bias.
The present scoping review evaluates the effectiveness of educational interventions at various community levels for controlling Aedes-borne diseases, emphasizing the need for multidisciplinary collaboration. Controlling Aedes mosquitoes using education and attracting the community's participation is an effective approach to reduce diseases transmitted through Aedes. The development of education at different levels of the community, such as educational and occupational environments, can play a role in the effectiveness of societal education and can be more cost-effective. Maintaining the effect of this approach is challenging because it requires multi-sector and multidisciplinary team participation and active community engagement over the long term. Further research is required to explore the removal of barriers to the implementation of educational interventions and the consistency of effects.
伊蚊是全球范围内对公共卫生构成威胁的新出现或再度出现的虫媒病毒的主要传播媒介。人们已做出诸多努力来开发控制伊蚊的干预措施。开展此项范围综述旨在确定预防和控制通过伊蚊传播疾病的教育干预措施的性质和范围。研究结果可用于评估、比较并制定适当的控制策略。
本范围综述于2023年开展，采用了阿克西和奥马利的方法，该方法涉及五个关键阶段。为检索学术论文，使用了PubMed、科学网、Scopus和ScienceDirect数据库，并结合了有关伊蚊、教育干预措施以及疾病预防控制的关键词。检索不受出版日期限制，但仅纳入英文发表的研究。纳入的研究报告了社区或组织层面有关伊蚊控制的教育干预措施。论文筛选依据PRISMA-ScR指南进行。使用Excel 2019进行数据分析。
最初提取了3172篇论文，经筛选和评审后，共选出45篇最终论文。这些研究聚焦于教育干预措施。20项干预性研究是在组织层面开展的，25项是在社区层面开展的。后者是最常用的策略。采用教育方法的干预措施取得了可持续的成果。在这45项研究中，有21项被评估为偏倚风险较低。
本范围综述评估了不同社区层面教育干预措施对控制伊蚊传播疾病的有效性，强调了多学科协作的必要性。利用教育手段控制伊蚊并吸引社区参与是减少伊蚊传播疾病的有效途径。在社区的不同层面开展教育，如教育和职业环境方面的教育，可对社会教育的有效性发挥作用，且可能更具成本效益。维持这种方法的效果具有挑战性，因为这需要多部门和多学科团队的长期参与以及社区的积极配合。需要进一步开展研究，以探索消除教育干预措施实施过程中的障碍以及效果的一致性。
