Resumo

Fundamento. Evaluar el nivel de conocimiento y percepción del riesgo de la sociedad española respecto a enfermedades transmitidas por vectores e identificar los factores de riesgo relacionados con su conocimiento. Material y métodos. Encuesta online con once preguntas sobre el conocimiento y percepción del riesgo de las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, enviada entre enero y mayo de 2021 a adultos españoles. Mediante regresión logística múltiple se analizaron las variables sociodemográficas predictoras de la variable de resultado (tener un nivel objetivo de conocimiento: haber nombrado correctamente dos enfermedades transmitidas por vectores), que se comparó con el conocimiento declarado por los participantes mediante el coeficiente kappa (k). Resultados. De los 1.646 encuestados (72,2% mujeres, 59,8% con edad >40 años), el 87,3% mostraron elevada percepción de riesgo y el 61,7% declararon tener conocimiento sobre qué es un vector. Sin embargo, solamente el 36,3% demostraron tener un nivel objetivo de conocimiento (k= 0,353). Las variables edad >40 años (p <0,0001), ingresos mensuales >1.500€ (p <0,0001) y ser propietario de mascotas (p= 0,0423) se asociaron a tener un nivel objetivo de conocimiento sobre enfermedades transmitidas por vectores (efectos ajustados). Conclusiones. Tanto el conocimiento como la percepción del riesgo de las enfermedades transmitidas por vectores deben reforzarse en España, especialmente en áreas endémicas, emergentes y re-emergentes de enfermedades transmitidas por vectores. Este resultado preliminar confirma la necesidad de mejorar los mecanismos institucionales para promover una sólida base de conocimientos en la sociedad española fuera de los foros científicos.
