Data were collected by face-to-face interview of household representative using pretested structured questionnaire on medicines in households, their utilization, storage and disposal practices.\u0000Results: Most of the participants (78.3%) were educated to the level of graduation and above and their common reported source of procurement for stored medicines was doctor’s previous prescriptions (61.79%) where 42.5% of them stored medicines for anticipated future use. Commonly stored drugs in households were analgesics and antihistaminics and drugs for digestive system while only 5.3% stored antibiotics mostly for ongoing treatment. Unsafe storage practices like storing medicines without proper labelling (65%) and within reach of children (33.49%) were found in the study. Also, 42.45% participants reported to share stored medicines with family members and friends. Major practice for drug disposal was reported as throwing in household garbage (93.1%).\u0000Conclusion: In current study, 100% prevalence of in-home storage medication practices among the well-educated consumers without proper care taken for their use, storage and disposal which may pose a risk to the environment as well as humans.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"50 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139683850","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}

This study aimed to analyse the risk factors for pneumonia among under-fives in Wajo Regency.\u0000Methodology: This type of research was a quantitative study using a case-control study design. The population was all children in the working areas of Salewangeng Health Centre, Penrang Health Centre, and Belawa Health Centre. The sample size was 224 children consisting of 112 cases and 112 controls. The odds ratio test and logistic regression were used to evaluate the data.\u0000Results: Risk factors associated with pneumonia were under-five nutritional status (OR=3.563; 95%CI=1.57-8.65; p=0.0008), indoor smoke exposure (OR=5.852; 95%CI=2.88-12.36; p=0.000), maternal age (OR=2.575; 95%CI=1.45-4.58; p=0.0005), and number of children in the family (OR=3.133; 95%CI=1.65-6.05; p=0.0002).\u0000Conclusions: The most influential risk factor for under-five pneumonia was indoor smoke exposure. The probability of pneumonia among under-fives who were exposed to indoor smoke, had a maternal age 30 years, and had poor nutritional status was 89.8%. It is recommended for the community to reduce smoking activities in the house and reduce the use of mosquito coils to prevent smoke exposure to children at home.","PeriodicalId":430059,"journal":{"name":"National Journal of Community Medicine","volume":"12 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139872598","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}

Poor glycaemic control is a major risk factor for the development of diabetes-related complications. Hence, monitoring and achieving good glycaemic control is critical to reducing the risk of complications and improving outcomes in people with diabetes. This study conducted to determine the prevalence of poor glycaemic control and to identify the factors associated with poor glycaemic control.\u0000Methodology: This cross-sectional descriptive study conducted in an urban area among those patients having diabetes since more than five years. All participants were interviewed and tested for HbA1c. Cases with good glycaemic control (HbA1c <7%) were compared with those with poor glycaemic control (HbA1c ≥7%). Multivariate analysis was conducted to find out independent determinants.\u0000Results: Out of 632 cases, poor glycaemic control was found in 81.3% cases. Multivariate logistic regression indicated that living without a spouse (p 0.036), Female gender (p 0.032), MBI >23(kg/m2) (p <0.001), poor medication adherence (p 0.022), and high perceived stress level (p 0.011) were independent predictors of poor glycaemic control. More than 10 years duration of diabetes was found to be associated with good glycaemic control (p 0.016)\u0000Conclusion: There are a high proportion of patients with poor glycaemic control.
