ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: A clear understanding of the knowledge and practices of a particular community can inform the design of behaviour change communication campaigns to influence acceptance and use of any malaria control measures. In this regard, a study was conducted guided by the following objective: To study the knowledge and practices regarding prevention of malaria among people of urban and rural of Rajkot District. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Multistage sampling method was used. 432 households, 216 each from urban and rural, were studied. Selection of were based on Annual Parasite Incidence. Six from urban and six talukas form rural were studied. Data were collected using a pretested semi structured questionnaire during the high transmission season (July-2011 to October-2011) of mosquito borne diseases. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analysis was done using Epi Info 6. RESULTS: 87.96% respondents knew that mosquito transmits malaria % respondents did not know how malaria is transmitted % respondents had wrong knowledge about mosquito breeding places. Fever (95.60%) and chills (71.06%) were the most common symptoms told by respondents % respondents knew that malaria can be prevented by using personal protective measures against mosquito bites % of the respondents did not use anything for prevention against mosquito bites. CONCLUSION: Overall knowledge regarding malaria was satisfactory. Knowledge regarding prevention of malaria was good and majority of the households were using preventive measures against mosquito bites. Keywords: Malaria, Knowledge, Practice, Rajkot, Gujarat INTRODUCTION The mosquito borne diseases of public health importance are complex and their occurrence depends on the interaction of various biological, ecological, social and economic factors. The mosquito-borne diseases results in avoidable ill health and death which also has been emphasized in National Health Policy and Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) in India. National Vector Borne Disease Control Programme (NVBDCP) under the aegis of National Health Mission (NRHM) is one of the most comprehensive and multifaceted public health activities in India including prevention and control of mosquito-borne diseases 1. Century ago, malaria was one of the biggest scourges affecting mankind and owing to the concerted global action under the leadership of the World Health Organization; there was a perceptible decrease in the incidence of malaria in most parts of the world. But, now malaria has made a dramatic come back and all the countries of the world are at the risk of importing malaria. Pattern of malaria transmission and disease vary markedly between regions and even within *Corresponding Author Dr. Mayur C. Vala (4 th Year Resident) Chandra Pushpa, Gandhigram main road No.2, B/h.

But, now malaria has made a dramatic come back and all the countries of the world are at the risk of importing malaria. Pattern of malaria transmission and disease vary markedly between regions and even within individual countries. This diversity is a result of variation between malaria parasite and mosquito vectors, ecological conditions affecting malaria transmission as well as socioeconomic factors 2. In recent years, vectorborne diseases have emerged as a serious public health problem in countries of the South-East Asia Region, including India 3. During 2010, Gujarat state reported a total of 66,501 malaria cases including 13,729 plasmodium falciparum cases and 71 deaths. From this, Rajkot district reported 2473 malaria cases including 463 plasmodium falciparum cases and 6 deaths and Rajkot Municipal Corporation reported total 499 malaria cases including 198 plasmodium falciparum cases and 1 death 4. Malaria is a growing urban problem because of unplanned urbanization, industrialization and excessive population growth coupled with rural to urban migration 5. Environmental control offers the best approach to the control of mosquitoes. Source reduction is potentially the ideal method for controlling mosquito. It is the method applied to prevent breeding of mosquito, by means of taking 38 Int J Res Med. 2013; 2(4);38-42 e ISSN: p ISSN:
2 care of the larval breeding sources. It requires public motivation through health education and usually legislation and law enforcement to encourage community participation. Community participation is essential for the prevention and control of an outbreak of mosquito borne disease 6. In spite of mass communication and educational approaches, community participation is far below expectation. Community participation in turn depends upon People s knowledge, awareness and attitude towards the disease 7. Several socioeconomic studies in various countries indicate variation in knowledge and practice related to mosquito-borne diseases Most organized vector control strategies require public support of one kind or another and the extent of people s cooperation can determine the success or failure of the entire campaign 11. Program implementers need to understand the disease-related knowledge, attitude, and practices of the community, because these are the important determinants of community participation 12. Despite of so many efforts to control malaria, this disease is still having a huge impact on health, wellbeing and economy of the people. Key success for Malaria Control depends not only on services provided by Health Authority but also on knowledge on clinical manifestation, awareness and early care seeking behaviour of the community. There is a need to know existing knowledge, practice and current situation regarding malaria and its control in community. MATERIALS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study to assess the knowledge and practices regarding malaria was conducted among people of urban and rural of Rajkot district. Study was conducted during high transmission period i.e. July-2011 to October-2011, so appropriate aspects of malaria can be studied. A household is considered as a sample unit. 432 households including 216 from urban and 216 from rural, were studied. Multistage sampling method was used to select households. In 1 st stage, it has been decided to study Rajkot city for urban study and three randomly selected talukas of Rajkot district for rural study. Rajkot city is divided into three zones and these three zones were studied as urban. Three different talukas of Rajkot district were selected randomly as rural. In 2 nd stage, two urban slums in each zone and two villages from each taluka, one of which having highest API (January-2011 to May-2011) and another one having lowest API (January 2011 to May 2011) were selected. If more than one area having same API then area was selected by random selection method (API of different were obtained from Rajkot Municipal Corporation and Jilla Panchayat). In 3 rd stage, 36 houses in each six urban slum and each six rural area were studied to study a total of 432 household in urban and rural. In 4 th stage, each study area was divided in 4 quadrants and 9 houses from each quadrant were selected for study. From the canter of the quadrant one house was selected randomly and remaining houses were selected as the nearest door of previous household. One adult female respondent of more than 21 years was selected for interview from each household. If more than one female aged 21 years or more were found then woman having higher literacy was chosen as a respondent. If literacy was also same then these women were given choice to decide who will be respondent in the study. If there was no eligible female in household then that household was skipped and next household was surveyed. Collected information includes socio demographic characteristics, knowledge regarding malaria transmission and symptoms, knowledge regarding mosquito breeding places, and preventive measured used against mosquito bites. Data were entered in Microsoft Excel and analysis was done using Epi Info 6. RESULTS 432 respondents were interviewed and mean (SD) age of the respondent was found to be 34(10.35) years. Most of the respondents (45.60%) were having education up to primary level and 31.48% respondents were illiterate. Illiteracy was found more among respondents from rural area [Table-1]. Table-2 describes knowledge regarding malaria transmission, symptoms and mosquito breeding places % respondents knew that malaria is transmitted by mosquito bite. Respondents from urban (94.44%) had more correct knowledge than rural (81.48%) and the difference was statistically significant (p value < 0.001). Most of the respondents had knowledge of fever (95.60%) and chills (71.06%) as common malaria symptoms. Almost 4% respondents had no knowledge regarding symptoms of malaria. Most of the respondents (90.05%) answered water collection as mosquito breeding place % respondents told ditches as mosquito breeding place. And 6.25% respondents did not know about mosquito breeding places. In general respondents of urban had good knowledge than respondents of rural. As shown in Table-3, nearly 90% respondents knew that malaria can be prevented by using personal protective measures against mosquito bites. None of the respondents knew that using larvivorous fishes can prevent malaria. Overall knowledge regarding prevention of malaria was more in urban respondents than in rural respondents. 226(52.31%) respondents were using liquid repellent vaporizer and 67(15.51%) respondents were using mosquito net as shown in Table-4. In 39 Int J Res Med. 2013; 2(4);38-42 e ISSN: p ISSN:
3 urban, most of the respondents (75.46%) were using liquid repellent vaporizer while in rural, vaporizer was used by only 29% respondents and the difference was statistically significant (p value < 0.01). But, 21.76% families in rural used mosquito nets while in urban use of mosquito net was less (9.26%) and the difference was statistically significant (p value < 0.05) % respondents of rural were not using anything for personal protection against mosquito bite. The difference between urban and rural regarding any personal protective measures taken against none taken was found statistically significant (p value < 0.001). Table-5 shows source of information of respondents. In the present study television was the most important source of information (62.27%). Health workers provided this information to 90 (20.83%) respondents.

A similar study by Unnikrishnan B et al 2, mean (SD) age of the respondents was 34.6 yrs (12.2) yrs. In our study 31.48% respondents were illiterate which is far less than that found in study by Muninarayana C et al 11 (68.67%). Kinung hi SM et al 13 had done a study in which almost quarter (23.6%) respondents were illiterate. Studies have proved that improved community knowledge of malaria and its source of transmission promote preventive and personal protection practices amongst the affected community This is an opportunity any malaria prevention and control intervention can utilize. There was a wide acceptance (87.96%) of mosquito bites as a cause of malaria which is far better than
4 study done by Matta S et al 16 (58%), Khan SJ et al 17 (55%) and Deressa W et al 18 (65%). Fever as a symptom of malaria was told by 95.60% respondents in our study which is quite comparable to study done by Kinung hi SM et al 13 (86%); but, in study by Patel AB et al 6, only 43% and in study by Paulander J et al 19, 56% respondents told fever as a symptom of malaria. In study of Paulander J et al 19, 74%, 56% and 28% told shivering, body pain and headache respectively; similarly, chills, body pain and headache in our study were 76.38%, 38.89% and 30.09% respectively. Majority of the respondents correctly associated water collection with breeding place (90.05%), which is much higher than the study by Matta S et al 16 (45%). In present study 52.55% respondents told ditches as mosquito breeding place, this is quite comparable to study done by Boratne et al 1 (34.95%). This study reveals that most of the respondents (90.51%) had knowledge that malaria can be prevented by taking personal protective measures. This includes using mosquito nets, repellents, mats vaporizers and coils. In study of Itrat A et al 20, 50.1% told to use mat/coil/liquid vaporizer for prevention of malaria. In our study, only 5.79% respondents told insecticidal spraying for prevention of malaria, this is quite less than study done by Itrat A et al 20 (54.9%), Hlongwana KW et al 21 (21.6%), Opiyo P et al 22 (16.1%) and Paulander J et al 19 (16%). Regarding practice, most of the respondents used liquid repellent vaporizer (52.31%), which is much higher than found in study by Yadav SP et al 8 (4%), Nalongsack S et al 23 (2%); but lower than study by Patel AB et al 6 (61%). Mosquito nets were used by 15.51% respondents, which is quite low than found in study by NalongsackSet al23(79%), Matta S et al 16 (34%),Yadav SP 8 et al (21%); but higher than study by Itrat A et al 20 (1.9%), Patel AB et al 6 (10%). In the present study television was the most important source of information (62.27%). Health workers provided this information to 90 (20.83%) respondents. In the study of Boratneet al 1, TV provided information to 75.93% respondents and health workers to 16.43%. Overall knowledge regarding malaria was satisfactory. Knowledge regarding prevention of malaria was good but still practice is lacking in so many households. Overall knowledge regarding malaria and prevention of malaria was found more in urban respondents than in rural respondents. So it is recommended that community should be encouraged to take necessary actions at household level to prevent malaria and the treating doctors and physicians should be encouraged to give health education to the patient about appropriate and affordable preventive measures.
