Abstract

Older Indian diabetics lack proper health literacy making them vulnerable to complications. Assessment of health literacy was done by hospital-based cross-sectional study. Face-to-face interview was conducted by pretested structured questionnaires. Diabetes patients aged ≥60 years consisted of 56.22% males and 43.78% females; in addition, 34.2% respondents were without formal schooling. Diabetes was known to 63.56% respondents. Total knowledge and practice score of the respondents was good (18.9% and 35.1%), average (30.7% and 46.9%), and poor (50.4% and 18%), respectively. Knowledge and practice score was strongly associated ( P < .01) with religion, educational status, and diabetes duration with positive relationship ( R² = 0.247, P < .01) between knowledge and practice score. The study highlights lack of health literacy among older diabetics undergoing ayurveda management. Baseline statistics will pave the way toward ayurpharmacoepidemiology.

阿育吠陀药物流行病学视角:印度阿育吠陀教学医院老年糖尿病患者的健康素养(知识和实践)

印度老年糖尿病患者缺乏适当的健康知识，使他们容易出现并发症。健康素养评估采用基于医院的横断面研究。面对面访谈采用预测结构化问卷。年龄≥60岁的糖尿病患者中男性占56.22%，女性占43.78%;此外，34.2%的受访者没有受过正规教育。63.56%的受访者知道糖尿病。受访者的知识和实践总分分别为良好(18.9%和35.1%)、一般(30.7%和46.9%)和较差(50.4%和18%)。知识与实践得分与宗教信仰、文化程度、糖尿病病程呈显著正相关(R2 = 0.247, P < 0.01)。该研究强调了在接受阿育吠陀治疗的老年糖尿病患者中缺乏健康知识。基线统计数据将为门诊药物流行病学铺平道路。
