Methods Forty people who were either HIV positive (7/40) or had high risk behavior (33/40) were interviewed. Focus group discussion was held in the interview with people who were suspected to be infected with HIV, and in-depth interview was conducted in the survey of HIV positive persons whose privacy was strictly protected to ensure the confidentiality of the collected information. Results It was identified that six forms of discrimination against people living with HIV occurred in health care service in Gejiu, including speaking to patients in an insulting manner, refusing to provide health care service, delaying treatment, treating differently, uncovering patients' privacy, and over-protecting themselves against patients. Discrimination against people living with HIV greatly affected their health conditions. Conclusions Discrimination against people living with HIV in health service has negative impact on their physical and mental health.展开更多

The major conclusions are as follows. First, predisposing factors, enabling factors, health care need factors, and lifestyle factors affect health care utilization. Second, results using DID methods indicate that NCMS did not affect health care service utilization (outpatient and inpatient) of individuals when ill, but it might increase the possibility of getting a health examination. Third, there is no difference in health care service utilization (both outpatient and inpatient) between the NCMS enrollment group and the non-enrollment group in both working age group (15-59) and the elderly group (60 and over). Therefore, it can be said that NCMS did not affect the health care utilization in both the group. However, NCMS positively affects disease prevention behavior (visiting the hospital to receive a health examination) in the working age group, but the effect did not appear in the elderly group.展开更多

There is a greatest burden of oral diseases on the underprivileged group. In developing countries like India the affordability to oral health care services is very limited thereby leading to poor oral wellness & millions suffer intractable toothache and poor quality of living and end up with few dentition. Objective: To assess the utilization level of oral health services among women in Chennai. Material and methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 200 women in Teynampet Zone in Chennai District, Tamil Nadu. The women were chosen by simple random sampling and were interviewed using the semi-stzuctured questionnaire to assess their utilization level during the period of June to July 2016. The data were analyzed by SPSS Version 22. Result: Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis--MANOVA were used to analyze the utilization level. Majority of the respondents were in the age group of 30-35years, most of the respondents had oral problem and almost everyone had visited dentist at least once within 3 years. Multivariate analysis--MANOVA also showed that the utilization levels were directly influenced by accessibility, availability and affordability and showed statistical significance (p value 〈 0.05) and also from MANOVA analysis it showed that the respondents who had poor oral hygiene did not utilize oral health care services as the affordability was a problem although accessibility and availability was adequate. Conclusion: Our fmdings suggest that people who had oral problem had visited dentist in previous 3 years and most of the people who visited dentist had a good oral hygiene. Cost of the treatment affected the dental visits. They believed that visiting the dentist is necessary only for pain relief.展开更多

文摘AIM:To evaluate the knowledge,attitudes,and practices regarding eye-care seeking practices of visually impaired adults in a rural area Yueqing,and explore factors influencing their behavior.METHODS:A stratified sampling method was used to select 48 villages in Yueqing,from which 2400 people were selected to receive vision screenings conducted by oculists during a household visit.Those presenting visual acuity≥0.5 log MAR in either eye completed a self-designed questionnaire investigating their knowledge about medical eye-care seeking,attitudes about eye health and eye-careseeking behavior.RESULTS:Totally 165 people with moderate-to-severe visual impairment were identified(6.9%,165/2400),and 146 eligible participants were recruited(response rate:88.4%,mean age:68.6±15.0 y),among which 88(60.3%)were female.They had 82(56.2%)and 64(43.8%)monocular and binocular visual impairments respectively.A total of 67(45.9%)subjects demonstrated a high knowledge level about medical eye-care seeking and 88(60.3%)had self-rated poor vision,with 23(15%)receiving regular vision checks.The 105(71.9%)subjects had never been to hospital for an eye examination."No need"and"schedule conflicts"were the main reasons for not seeking eye care.Having extensive knowledge of medical eye-care seeking was positively associated with high education levels(OR=3.73,P=0.045)and negatively correlated with older age(OR=0.97,P=0.043).Both the self-perceived vision condition(OR=2.59,P=0.03)and regular vision check behavior(OR=6.50,P<0.01)were related with seeking eye care services.CONCLUSION:In rural Yueqing,intervention is required to increase public knowledge about seeking medical eye care among people with moderate-to-severe visual impairment,especially for the elderly and poorly education.Regular vision checks may be useful to promote their medical eye-care utilization.

文摘Using the 2000, 2004, and 2006 CHNS longitudinal survey data and econometric methods (random-effect probit regression model and DID methods), this study conducted an empirical analysis to estimate the impact of NCMS. The major conclusions are as follows. First, predisposing factors, enabling factors, health care need factors, and lifestyle factors affect health care utilization. Second, results using DID methods indicate that NCMS did not affect health care service utilization (outpatient and inpatient) of individuals when ill, but it might increase the possibility of getting a health examination. Third, there is no difference in health care service utilization (both outpatient and inpatient) between the NCMS enrollment group and the non-enrollment group in both working age group (15-59) and the elderly group (60 and over). Therefore, it can be said that NCMS did not affect the health care utilization in both the group. However, NCMS positively affects disease prevention behavior (visiting the hospital to receive a health examination) in the working age group, but the effect did not appear in the elderly group.
文摘Introduction: Oral health is window to overall health. There is a greatest burden of oral diseases on the underprivileged group. In developing countries like India the affordability to oral health care services is very limited thereby leading to poor oral wellness & millions suffer intractable toothache and poor quality of living and end up with few dentition. Objective: To assess the utilization level of oral health services among women in Chennai. Material and methods: A cross-sectional questionnaire survey was conducted among 200 women in Teynampet Zone in Chennai District, Tamil Nadu. The women were chosen by simple random sampling and were interviewed using the semi-stzuctured questionnaire to assess their utilization level during the period of June to July 2016. The data were analyzed by SPSS Version 22. Result: Descriptive statistics and multivariate analysis--MANOVA were used to analyze the utilization level. Majority of the respondents were in the age group of 30-35years, most of the respondents had oral problem and almost everyone had visited dentist at least once within 3 years. Multivariate analysis--MANOVA also showed that the utilization levels were directly influenced by accessibility, availability and affordability and showed statistical significance (p value 〈 0.05) and also from MANOVA analysis it showed that the respondents who had poor oral hygiene did not utilize oral health care services as the affordability was a problem although accessibility and availability was adequate. Conclusion: Our fmdings suggest that people who had oral problem had visited dentist in previous 3 years and most of the people who visited dentist had a good oral hygiene. Cost of the treatment affected the dental visits. They believed that visiting the dentist is necessary only for pain relief.
