RESUMO

Do persons who utilize the services of the alternative therapist demonstrate a greater self-care response to illness? This cross-sectional study was done to compare the health perceptions and self-care response to minor illness among users of conventional medical care and alternative therapy. Data were collected with a pre-tested, self-administered questionnaire to 99 patients of medical practitioner and 74 of alternative therapists. Results indicated statistically significant differences in some health perceptions such as ways to improve general health and responsibility for personal health. For both groups there were similarities in socio-demographic characteristics and self-care responses to minor illness, such as headaches, constipation, diarrhoea, sinus congestion and colds or flu. Also, results reflected a common practice of self-management of minor illness and an overlap in attendance by patients to both groups of practitioners. Recommendations are made for the public to be guided in its practice of self-management of minor illness and that a regulatory body be set up to govern the practice of alternative therapy in Jamaica.

RESUMO

Consultation with alternative therapists appears to be common place. This cross- sectional survey explored the health perceptions and self-care responses to illness among users of alternative therapy and conventional medical services. Data were collected by a self administered questionnaire to 74 users of alternative therapy and 99 from general practitioners. These indicated that users of alternative care were more likely to have the felt-need to improve their health by dietary changes (p<0.0002), and to report improvement in their dietary habits in response to chronic illness (p<0.02). Further, users of conventional medicine were more likely to mention their "family" as being resposible for their personal health (p<0.03). There was no statistically significant differences between respondents from alternative care and conventional medical care with respect to age, sex

RESUMO

The difficulties in the way of achieving satisfactory diabetic control are considered - dietetic modification is the main problem, but in addition less than 40 percent of those requiring insulin inject themselves, less than 50 percent of the patients test their urine for sugar, and attendance at the diabetic clinic of the University College of the West Indies is expensive for the country patients. The high incidence of complications encountered among Jamaican diabetics make it essential that the facilities available to the patients be improved. Publicity for the disease so that patients attend early in the course of their illness, better education of the patient in the management and implications of diabetes, and more readily available treatment for the country patients should gradually improve the lot of the diabetic subject.
