Sikap Pihak Berkepentingan terhadap Teknik Fogging di Malaysia (Stakeholder’s Attitude towards Fogging Technique in Malaysia)
Abstract
Pelbagai teknik pengawalan denggi telah diperkenalkan dalam usaha untuk melindungi kesihatan masyarakat umum dan mempromosi alam sekitar tanpa denggi. Namun, fogging kekal sebagai teknik kaedah utama untuk mengawal vektor denggi di Malaysia.Artikel ini bertujuanuntuk menilai dan membandingkan tahap sikap terhadap teknik fogging merentas faktor jantina, pihak berkepentingan, agama, tahap pendidikan dan umur. Seramai 399 responden dewasa di kawasan Lembah Klang, Malaysia telah dipilih berdasarkan persampelan rawak mudah untuk terlibat dalam kajian ini. Hasil kajian mendapati pihak berkepentingan dalam kalangan saintis dan orang awam amat yakin kepada kewibawaan pihak berkeutamaan seperti kerajaan, institusi penyelidikan dan industri pengeluar racun serangga atau farmaseutikal yang terlibat dalam pengawalan denggi. Mereka menganggap fogging sebagai mempunyai faedah yang tinggi disamping mendapat galakan yang tinggi bagi pengunaannya. Namun, mereka juga bersikap berhati-hati dengan mengakui ‘fogging’ juga mempunyai risiko yang sederhana. Pihak berkepentingan dalam kajian ini mengakui mempunyai komitmen keagamaan yang tinggi.Malahan, mereka lebih cenderung untuk mengutamakan alam semulajadi berbanding nilai material. Ujian MANOVA sehala telah mengesan perbezaan signifikan merentas faktorjantina, pihak berkepentingan, agama, tahap pendidikan dan umur. Analisis Post Hoc mengesahkan perbezaan yang signifikan bagi tanggapan risiko dan galakan merentas umur, sementara komitmen keagamaan merentas tahap pendidikan. Manakalaanalisis lanjutan ANOVA mengesahkan perbezaan signifikan tanggapan risiko merentas pihak berkepentingan, sementara komitmen keagamaan berbeza merentas jantina danagama. Hasil kajian ini penting sebagai penanda aras yang bermanfaat kepada pihak yang terlibat dalam pengawalan denggi untuk memahami sikap pihak berkepentingan terhadap teknik fogging.

Abstract
Several dengue control techniques have been introduced in order to protect public health and promote a dengue-free environment. However, fogging remains the main technique of controlling dengue vectors in Malaysia. This study was aims to evaluate and compare the attitudes towards fogging across gender, stakeholders, religion, education level and age. A total of 399 adult respondents in the Klang Valley, Malaysia were chosen randomly to be involved in this study. Results of the study showed that the stakeholders, which are mostly scientists and general public, have high trust on the key actors such as government, research institutions, pesticides and pharmaceutical industries which involves controlling dengue. They rated fogging highly beneficial while encouraging its application. The stakeholder’s attitudes were also found to be attached with religious values. In relation, they were more inclined to prioritize nature as compared to materials. One-way MANOVA detected significant differences across gender, stakeholders, religion, education level and age. PostHoc analysis confirmed that significant differences were only detected for perceived risk and encouragement across age, while religiousness differs across education level. Further analysis of ANOVA also confirmed significant differences for perceived risk across stakeholders, while religiousness differs across gender and religion. The results of this study are important as a useful benchmark for those involved in dengue control to understand the attitude of stakeholders towards fogging techniques.
