Background: India is the diabetic capital of the world with nearly 31.7 million people suffering from the disease in 2000 which is projected to become 79.4 million in the year 2030. The incidence of diabetes in India is around 8.8%. This study aims at developing a mini questionnaire to quickly assess the self-care practices among the diabetic patients attending rural health training centre and also to educate the diabetic patients about self-care practices and dietary pattern they need to follow.Methods: The study design is a community based cross-sectional study. All diabetic patients who visited rural health training centre attached to a private medical college aged 40 years and above in the period of June to July 2019 were included in our study. Institutional ethical clearance was taken before commencing the study. Construction of mini self-care practices questionnaire (MSCPQ) comprised of two phases. Trained medical students collected the data by interview method using semi-structured, pre-tested questionnaire.Results: The reliability of the MSCPQ using Cronbach’s alpha came to be 0.82 and the intra class correlation coefficient was 0.81; 95% CI (0.763-0.853) (p=<0.001). Around sixty six percent are having their health check-up regularly. Most (43%) of the study participants check their blood sugars monthly.Conclusions: Even though there are various factors contributing in facilitating self-care activities in patients living with diabetes, the role of health care physicians in educating about self-care practices are indispensable.

Open Field Defecation

Background: Almost 2.5 billion people don’t have the access to clean toilet globally. In 2011 sanitation coverage globally was 64%. While open defecation is declining across the globe, 15% (one billion) of the global population still defecate outdoors. OFD practices are associated with transmission of variety of infectious diseases. This study was conducted to understand the nature of defecation practices with respect to hygiene in a tribal community.Methods: It was a cross sectional study conducted among patients attending out-patient department of a rural health training center from a nearby tribal area, Thane district, Maharashtra which is a field practice area of rural health training centre of Seth GSMC and KEM Hospital, Mumbai.Results: Majority of the subjects practiced open field defecation (67%), followed by 18% subjects used household latrines and 15% used community based latrines. Majority of the study participants practiced open field defecation in agriculture fields (81%), while 44% preferred nearby water source as a site for defecation.Conclusions: The sanitary condition in the study area was poor. Rural areas with better literacy seems to have lower open field defecation prevalence and higher percentages of sanitary latrine usage.
