Tinnitus can affect an individual at any point of time and has multiple causes. Limited studies have investigated the awareness of tinnitus and the experience of tinnitus among healthy young adults. The current survey investigated the awareness and experience of ‘tinnitus’ among healthy young adults in the state of Karnataka, India through an online survey. Healthy young adults aged 18 to 40 years from different parts of the state of Karnataka were targeted and a total of 304 individuals voluntarily participated in the online survey. Responses showed that about 55% ofparticipants have heard the term “tinnitus” and only 36.18% were aware of tinnitus. When the term ‘tinnitus’ was defined, more than 54% of participants responded that they have experienced tinnitus at least once in their lifetime. Majority of the participants reported prolonged use of personal listening devices at loud and moderate volumes. 13.81% of participants believed that tinnitus can have a devastating effect on the quality of life and only few (29.62%) were aware that tinnitus could be treated. Unhealthy listening habits are potential risk factors for developing hearing loss and tinnitus among young adults. The survey highlights the need for creating awareness about seeking timely management and developing healthy listening habits among young adults to prevent the adverse effects of tinnitus. This needs to be implemented through future preventive campaigns, educational, and social media awareness programs.","PeriodicalId":22689,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Community Health Management","volume":"29 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75020775","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A cross-sectional study was conducted online for 131 residents who completed the original version (34 items) of the Personal Report of Public Speaking Anxiety (PRPSA) scale. The PRPSA score (range 34-170) was calculated as the sum of the item scores, and three PSA levels were defined including low (PRPSA score <98), moderate (PRPSA score 98-131), and high (PRPSA score>131). Sociodemographic and academic data were collected and analyzed as factors of PSA. The mean PRPSA was 100.27 out of 170 (SD = 18.10). Of the participants, 55.0% had moderate and 6.9% had high PRPSA scores. Female participants had a higher percentage of moderate (61.5% vs 45.3%) and high (9.0% vs 3.8%) PRPSA scores compared with males, respectively (p=0.041). A previous negative experience with public speech was also associated with a higher percentage of moderate (73.7% vs 47.3%) and high (15.8% vs 3.2%) PRPSA scores compared to absence of such an experience (p<0.001). Likewise, participants with a family history of social anxiety had a higher risk of increased PRPSA (p=0.022). The latency and high prevalence of PSA among family medicine residents highlight the relevance of incorporating curricula to enhance public speaking and communication skills among medical trainees.","PeriodicalId":22689,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Community Health Management","volume":"80 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88995651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For NCD surveillance, there are national and international targets. However, India lacks good quality data for NCD surveillance.

Most of the patients with NCDs seek care at the primary level and these facilities lack NCD record management. Through this paper, we share our experience of planning and setting up of a paper-based NCD health record system at a primary health care setting. We developed a system to generate and maintain patient health records which consisted of unique ID generation, index register, NCD record file and NCD passbook (Dhirghayu card) for each patient. We reorientated the process and devised a mechanism for record-keeping and data management. We faced several challenges during its implementation and overcame those with the mentioned solutions. Findings from this paper can be used to develop a similar system for patient health records at primary health care facilities, which can be used for NCD surveillance and patient monitoring purposes.","PeriodicalId":22689,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Community Health Management","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81336334","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although health insurance is not a new concept, people are still unfamiliar with it. Hence, the present study was conducted to assess the utilization, awareness and perception regarding health insurance policies in patients attending OPD at a Tertiary Care Hospital.It was a cross-sectional study carried out among the patients attending the outpatient department of a Tertiary Care Hospital, Lucknow from October 2020 to January 2021. Study participants were interviewed using a semi-structured questionnaire. The data obtained were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Though the majority (84.3%) of the participants had heard about the existence of health insurance policies, only one-third (33.6%) of the participants were covered under health insurance policy. Inadequate knowledge regarding benefits, low income, preference for other investments, and no felt need were some of the barriers to subscription.Inadequate knowledge regarding health insurance among health care seekers is a major roadblock in the government's ambitious project of Ayushman Bharat and other health insurance schemes. Emphasis should be given to educating the people regarding their rights and the benefits of health insurance.","PeriodicalId":22689,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Community Health Management","volume":"209 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73778104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The access to health care services has a very low coverage in rural region of the country especially in tribal communities.

Findings towards accessing quality health care services revealed that difficult geographical situation, communication in own language, financial constraint, low level of education, illiteracy, approaching traditional medicine and ancient culture as community barriers were remained constant. Low level of education, strong cultural believes and traditional culture norms are the strongest community barriers reflected their self-decision-making for not accessing the modern health care facility. An approach as creating effective awareness in harmonic way could be useful for bridging the gaps by involving existing medical resources and staffs, which can play a critical role in reducing the barriers. Thus, review findings suggest the need for implementing awareness programs can divert towards quality health care and thereby can “connect the unconnected” to stay healthy.","PeriodicalId":22689,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Community Health Management","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83690286","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
