Background:

  • The 2015 dengue outbreak in Taiwan prompted an investigation into public reactions.
  • Understanding public perception is crucial for effective disease control strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify key factors influencing public reaction to the 2015 dengue outbreak in Taiwan.
  • To analyze the relationship between fear, risk perception, and psychological distress.

Main Methods:

  • A telephone survey was conducted with 1104 respondents aged 18 and over.
  • Multiple logistic regression analysis was employed to examine influencing factors.

Main Results:

  • Fear of dengue was higher in most affected areas and among individuals with infected contacts.
  • Females and the elderly reported greater fear, perceived risk, and psychological distress.
  • Perceived infection severity and adverse daily life effects contributed to distress.

Conclusions:

  • Public fear and psychological distress during dengue outbreaks are influenced by demographics and proximity to the outbreak.
  • Mass media and targeted health education are vital for communicating pandemic prevention measures effectively.
  • Interventions should consider gender and age, focusing on highly affected regions.
