Abstract
COSTA, Elisângela Martins da Silva; CUNHA, Rivaldo Venâncio da and COSTA, Edgar Aparecido da. National Dengue Control Program implementation evaluation in two border municipalities in Mato Grosso do Sul State, Brazil, 2016. Epidemiol. Serv. Saúde [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.4, e2017478. Epub Oct 30, 2018. ISSN 1679-4974. http://dx.doi.org/10.5123/s1679-49742018000400007.
Objective:
to evaluate the degree of implementation of the National Dengue Control Program (PNCD) in two border municipalities in Mato Grosso do Sul State (Corumbá and Ponta Porã), Brazil, 2016.
Methods:
This was a normative evaluation based on indicators of service structure and work process; questionnaires were answered by health professionals involved in dengue prevention and control; the cut-off points used to determine the degree of implementation were 'implemented' (>75% of the activities implemented), 'partially implemented' (50 to 75%), 'low level of implementation' (25 to 49%), and 'not implemented' (<25%).
Results:
383 health professionals participated in this study, 227 of whom were from Corumbá and 156 from Ponta Porã; the degree of PNCD implementation was 63.1% and 66.4% for Corumbá and Ponta Porã, respectively, thus being classified as partially implemented in both municipalities.
Conclusion:
PNCD implementation was partial in both municipalities; problems observed indicate the need for program enhancement.
