Overview

Cross-sectional validation study assesses physician preparedness for arbovirus management, highlighting knowledge gaps.

Key Points

  • The aim is to develop and validate a comprehensive survey to evaluate physician preparedness for managing arboviruses in Venezuela.
  • Cross-sectional validation study conducted from April to May 2025 with a 47-item online survey.
  • Psychometric properties evaluated through item analysis and exploratory factor analysis with Promax rotation.
  • Internal consistency assessed using Cronbach’s alpha and the Kuder-Richardson 20 coefficient.
  • 43.8% of physicians demonstrated low knowledge, particularly among non-frontline physicians (55% vs. 37.3%, p = 0.028).
  • Attitude-practice gap identified, especially in system-dependent behaviors like disease notification.
  • Preliminary evidence of construct validity for the KAP-arbovirus survey.
