| Abstract |
Delays in seeking health care for dengue are associated with poor health outcomes. Despite this, the factors influencing such delays remain unclear, rendering interventions to improve health care-seeking for dengue ineffective. This systematic review aimed to synthesise the factors influencing health care-seeking of patients with dengue and form a comprehensive framework. This review included both qualitative and quantitative studies. Studies were obtained by searching five databases, contacting field experts, and performing backward reference searches. The best-fit meta-synthesis approach was used during data synthesis, where extracted data were fitted into the social-ecological model. Sub-analyses were conducted to identify the commonly reported factors and their level of statistical significance. Twenty studies were selected for meta-synthesis. Eighteen factors influencing health care-seeking in dengue were identified and categorised under four domains: individual (11 factors), interpersonal (1 factor), organisational (4 factors), and community (2 factors). The most reported factors were knowledge of dengue, access to health care, quality of health service and resource availability. Overall, more barriers to dengue health seeking than facilitators were found. History of dengue infection and having knowledge of dengue were found to be ambiguous as they both facilitated and hindered dengue health care-seeking. Contrary to common belief, women were less likely to seek help for dengue than men. The factors affecting dengue health care-seeking behaviour are diverse, can be ambiguous and are found across multiple social-ecological levels. Understanding these complexities is essential for the development of effective interventions to improve dengue health care-seeking behaviour. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 03 November 2021.
All research outputs
#7,307,806
of 25,392,582 outputs
Outputs from Tropical Medicine & International Health
#995
of 3,056 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#140,374
of 443,124 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Tropical Medicine & International Health
#7
of 28 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,392,582 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 71st percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,056 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 67% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 443,124 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 28 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its contemporaries.
