Abstract: (french)
Une étude de type transversale et analytique, a porté sur les facteurs de vulnérabilité économique des ménages vis-à-vis du paludisme dans la Zone de Sante de Miti-Murhesa pendant la période allant de Janvier à Décembre 2010 a connu la participation de 492 sujets enquêtés. Le ménage vulnérable économiquement est défini comme celui consommant plus de 13% de son revenu annuel pour la prise en charge des épisodes de paludisme. La méthodologie pour la collecte des données a consisté à l'administration d'un questionnaire individuel aux sujets et la revue documentaire. Les résultats de l'analyse uni varié montrent une association statistiquement significative entre la vulnérabilité économique des ménages et les facteurs suivants : un ménage qui a une femme comme responsable, le coût d'hospitalisation dépassant 10 $, un revenu annuel du ménage inférieur à 370 $, un ménage pour lequel le responsable n'a pas d'occupation, un ménage ayant plus de 7 personnes en son sein, un payement d'autres frais dépassant 2 $ en dehors de la facture, un coût indirect dépassant le coût direct des soins, un patient ayant fréquenté le tradi-praticien avant d'atteindre les structures de soins. L'analyse multi variée montre que le facteur, revenu annuel du ménage inférieur à 370 $ est le plus indépendant mais sur lequel nous ne disposons pas des solutions à court terme et le coût d'hospitalisation dépassant 10 $, facteur de vulnérabilité pour lequel la solution à court terme est possible.
