| Abstract | Context:
Around 70% of the Indian population resides in rural areas and around 28% of the population live in below poverty line. Coverage of various health schemes falls short of the desirable coverage of 25% according to the National Health Policy. Out-of-pocket medical expenses account for more than four-fifths of total health-care spending in India. The major reason for low coverage in India is the lack of awareness of the health insurance schemes among people. Studies regarding government health schemes in the rural population are scarce. Hence, this study was conducted.
Aims:
The aim of this study was to assess the knowledge about national health schemes and to determine the association between knowledge with various sociodemographic variables among patients attending Rural Health Training Centre (RHTC) of Medical College in Visnagar.
Settings and Design:
A cross-sectional study was carried out among 107 patients attending the Outpatient Department at RHTC for 3 Months.
Subjects and Methods:
Data were collected with convenience sampling technique using a pretested, semi-structured questionnaire. Knowledge scores were used to categorize into good and poor knowledge.
Statistical Analysis Used:
The responses were entered and statistically analyzed by using SPSS v. 20. Chi-square test was applied to know the association between demographic variables and knowledge.
Results:
Only 35 (32.71%) participants ever applied while only 32 (29.90%) participants ever received benefit from any government health scheme. Furthermore, 66 (61.68%) participants had heard about Pradhan Mantri Jan Arogya Yojana which is highest. Out of all schemes, knowledge about Integrated Child Development Services Scheme was highest among participants, 39 (36.44%) participants knew about its benefits, 39 (36.44%) about beneficiary, 27 (25.23%) knew how to avail benefits, 26 (24.29%) about portability and 26 (24.29%) about goal. Awareness regarding various schemes was proportionately higher, 40 (52.63%), in age ≤30 and in male sex, 46 (60.52%), and card availability, 63 (82.89%).
Conclusions:
It is evident from the present study that knowledge regarding various health schemes in the study population is inadequate. |
