Mathematical Analysis of the Effect of Education Campaign on Chickenpox Transmission Dynamics
Main Article Content
Abstract
The research objective is to develop and evaluate the stability of mathematical modelling for controlling the spread of chickenpox in the education campaign. The model is analyzed using standard methods, the equilibrium point, stability of the equilibrium points and analytic solutions. The effectiveness of the education campaign in mathematical modelling and numerical solutions is studied. The findings of the analysis indicate that the effectiveness of the education campaign constitutes a significant factor influencing the dynamics of the mathematical model developed to control the spread of chickenpox. It was found that if the population at risk of infection with chickenpox has knowledge about the prevention of chickenpox, it will contribute less to the increase in the spread of the disease. If the population at risk of infection with chickenpox has knowledge about the prevention of chickenpox, it will contribute to the decrease in the spread of the disease until there is no further spread of chickenpox infection. The population at risk of infection with knowledge about the prevention of chickenpox is not less than 50 percent of the total population and will contribute to the decrease in disease spread until there is no further spread of infection. This highlights the importance of public health education in controlling outbreaks. By ensuring that a significant portion of the population understands how to prevent transmission, the overall health of the community can be safeguarded and the incidence of chickenpox can be significantly reduced.
