Resumen

Este estudio fue concebido para evaluar el nivel de conocimientos, las actitudes y las prácticas de los actores del sector ganadero (propietarios de ganado, pastores, veterinarios...) respecto a la giardiasis en la provincia de Jere, en el estado de Borno, al nordeste de Nigeria. Mediante un cuestionario, se interrogó a 278 actores de seis barrios de Jere, con una tasa de respuesta del 84 % (n = 252). La mayoría de las personas interrogadas tenían de 27 a 38 años (62,3 %), eran de sexo masculino (93,7 %) y de confesión musulmana (96 %). En lo que concierne al control y la prevención de la giardiasis, el 31,3 %, 44,8 % y 31,3 % de los encuestados tenían respectivamente buenos conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas. Las puntuaciones medias globales del 59,5 %, 64,8 % y 64,1 % para los conocimientos, las actitudes y las prácticas eran significativamente (p <0,05) inferiores al umbral de ≥ 75 % fijado para una buena puntuación KAP sobre la giardiasis. Además, había una correlación moderada, positiva y significativa (p < 0,05) entre la puntuación de los conocimientos y las puntuaciones de las actitudes y de las prácticas. Los conocimientos y las actitudes de los manipuladores estaban significativamente relacionados (p < 0,05) con su nivel de educación y sus años de experiencia, lo que significa que un nivel educativo elevado y una larga experiencia estaban asociados con una mejor sensibilización ante la giardiasis. El estudio concluye que existe un riesgo potencial de infección por Giardia lamblia para las personas en contacto con el ganado debido a sus niveles subóptimos de conocimientos, de actitudes y de prácticas respecto a la giardiasis observados en la zona de estudio. Debería incentivarse la sensibilización del conjunto de actores del sector ganadero ante el impacto en materia de salud pública de la giardiasis.
