This paper reports findings about self-care practices identified during four studies carried out over a ten-year period involving about 14,000 interviews in 7,400 households comprising over 48,000 people in three Indian states and three districts of Nepal. The proportion of ill individuals using self-care over a two-week period in the different study areas ranged from 19 to 42 percent. This involved 5 to 9 percent of the total population in self-care activities during these two weeks. Much larger differences were found between India and Nepal in the use of self-care during pregnancies. Self-care or care by relatives and friends was the predominant source of maternity care in Nepal, including deliveries, while Indian maternal care was dominated by traditional birth attendants. Comparisons also were made between self-care and the use of professional healers or health care services during the same time period. Differences in the use of self-care by age, sex, caste, access to government or special project services, type of illness, and duration and severity of illness have also been shown. The need for similar, better standardized surveys in combination with intensive studies examining the details and rationale behind self-care practices in different societies has been stressed as an essential step in developing programs to expand or modify self-care practices of individuals and their families.Type of Medium: Electronic ResourceURL:
