BACKGROUND India is doubly burdened with communicable and non-communicable diseases (NCD). Knowledge regarding morbidity profile is important for timely intervention so as to improve the quality of life. For effective health strategies, it is important to know the disease burden of a community. As for the effective preventive strategies, it’s important to know the information regarding disease burden and changing trends of diseases in the locality. Hence this study was done to find the morbidity pattern of urban population in Bellary district, Karnataka. METHODS A cross sectional study was carried out in Millerpet, urban health training centre (UHTC), Bellary, Karnataka. The respective UHTC covers 69195 populations, which has eight wards. Simple random sampling technique was adopted to select the ward. The study was carried out in the selected ward and the study duration was for a period of 3 months. Based on the estimated sample size, 416 houses were selected using random number method. Statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) software version 26 was used for analysing data. Descriptive statistics were used to describe socio demographic and morbidity conditions. RESULTS The most common morbidity among 416 houses were found to be diabetes (22.8 %) followed by hypertension (20 %) and musculoskeletal problems (9 %). Majority of the houses were of nuclear type and the most common age group was 31 - 60 (91.8 %) years followed by 13 - 30 years (80.8 %). 167 (40.1 %) houses had at least one morbidity and 451 (41.4) subjects had at least one morbidity. Socio-demographic variables like age group, family size, monthly income, occupation of head of the family and type of the family were found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The study revealed that non communicable are the most common diseases present and there is a need to further evaluate the factors responsible so that preventive measures can be taken at the earliest so as to improve the quality of life.

Introduction: Nepal like many other developing countries in the world is witnessing the rapid ageing of population. Quality of life (QOL) of elderly people is becoming even more relevant towards an ageing society. In Nepal, less is known regarding special needs and quality of life of elderly people either in familial situations or in old age residences. Objectives: The present study was undertaken to assess and compare the quality of life of elderly living with the family and in old age home. Methodology: A Cross sectional descriptive study was conducted from October 2016 to April 2017 among elderly population aged 60 years and above. A total of 50 elderly people were enrolled from old age home (OAH) using total enumeration sampling technique and equal number of sample was selected from the family setting. QOL of elderly was assessed using WHOQOL-BRIEF questionnaire after taking informed consent from the participants. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Results: The mean scores of QOL domains were better among the age group 60-70 years, males, married, literates and who had children. The mean scores of QOL in physical, psychological and environmental domains were better in elderly living with the family than living in OAH. Low scores were found on social domain among elderly compared to other domain irrespective of their residence. Conclusion: QOL score among elderly is average, while social relationship domain of QOL scores was found to be low. Social activities should be expanded for these residents in order to promote social health. The QOL which each individual possesses is very important in all aspects be it physical, psychological, social & environmental. Furthermore, programs that help elderly people live in their own homes and social environments should be promoted.BIBECHANA 16 (2019) 221-227

The quality of life (QOL) of post-stroke patients can be assessed from the reports of patients themselves obtained through a structured interview or a questionnaire. However, some individuals are unable to comprehensively describe their QOL because of language disorders, cognitive effects caused by stroke, or pre-existing conditions. This study aims to identify differences in post-stroke QOL perception between patients and caregivers. A cross-sectional design involving 115 stroke patients and 115 caregivers was adopted, and Mann–Whitney test was used for statistical analysis. Results showed no significant difference in QOL perception (p = 0.166; α < 0.05), particularly in the physical (p = 0.278; α < 0.05), psychological (p = 0.068; α < 0.05), social relationship (p = 0.976; α < 0.05), and environmental (p = 0.157; α < 0.05) domains between patients and caregivers. Therefore, information from caregivers can be used to assess QOL when patients are incapable of reporting their condition. AbstrakKualitas Hidup Pasca Stroke yang Dipersepsikan oleh Pasien dan Caregiver. Kualitas hidup pasien pasca stroke dapat diketahui berdasarkan laporan dari pasien stroke dengan wawancara terstruktur atau dengan pengisian kuesioner. Namun, beberapa dari pasien stroke tidak dapat menggambarkan kualitas hidup mereka karena adanya gangguan bahasa dan efek kognitif lainnya akibat stroke atau kondisi yang sudah ada sebelumnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengidentifikasi perbedaan persepsi kualitas hidup antara perspektif pasien pasca stroke dan  caregiver. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain cross sectional yang melibatkan 115 pasien dan 115 caregiver dengan menggunakan analisis statistik Mann Whitney. Hasil analisis menunjukkan tidak terdapat perbedaan secara signifikan antara persepsi kualitas hidup dari pasien dan caregiver (p = 0,166 ; α < 0,05), khususnya pada domain fisik (p = 0,278; α < 0,05), psikologis (p = 0,068; α < 0,05), hubungan sosial (p = 0,976; α < 0,05), dan lingkungan (p = 0.157; α < 0,05) dari kualitas hidup yang dipersepsikan oleh pasien dan yang dipersepsikan oleh caregiver. Informasi dari caregiver dapat digunakan saat pasien tidak dapat memberikan informasi terkait kualitas hidupnya.Kata Kunci: caregiver, kualitas hidup, persepsi, stroke
