• W2463549348 abstract "To determine the myths and misconception about diabetes mellitus among non-diabetics attending primary health care centers of Gadap town, Karachi.Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of the Study: Primary Health Care Centers, Gadap Town, Karachi, during the month of July 2005.Data was collected from four primary health care centers, located at Gadap Town, Karachi, and about 198 non-diabetic patients, above 18 years of age, and resident of Gadap Town, coming consecutively during the month of July 2005, were interviewed after taking the informed consent by using a semi-structured pre-tested questionnaire regarding prevailing myths about diabetes mellitus. The data collected was entered and analyzed by using a statistical package SPSS 11.0. Myths are defined as stories shared by a group, as part of the cultural identity.There were 198 participants in the study. Mean age of study participants was 40 years with standard deviation of 13, while approximately two thirds, 62.6%, were females. About 39% had history of type II diabetes mellitus in family. Overall myths related to diabetes mellitus were common among the individuals, males reported myths pre-dominantly contagiousness of diabetes (p= < 0.03), diabetics becoming more ill (p=<0.009) and belief in spiritual treatment for permanent cure of diabetes (p=< 0.006). People having 5-16 years of education were less misconceived as compared to illiterates. The variables that showed significant difference were over-eating, causing diabetes (p= < 0.006), diabetics falling ill more than others (p=< 0.04), eating less starch (p= < 0.0006) and alternative treatment like spiritual treatment (p=< 0.00001). Family history of diabetes was also found significantly associated with reporting myths.Frequency of reporting myths was significantly high in this study with preponderance of males, family history of diabetes mellitus and educational status. Education serves as protective factor, hence efforts should be made to promote education and health awareness regarding the disease, with more emphasis on addressing myths regarding diabetes mellitus." @default.
