“…25 Data from illness narratives and projective illness dilemma stories (as well as case following) lead us to appreciate ways in which health care seeking is influenced by factors which do not emerge during the interviews focused on illness-specific behavior. A more "taskonomic" view of health seeking pathways is provided (Nichter 1989). An important finding is that mothers consult traditional practitioners for a broad range of respiratory illnesses based on a form of cost benefit reasoning.…”

“…La enfermedad se presenta como un constante desafío a la complaciente y cotidiana aceptación de las estructuras de sentido convencionales. (23) La mayoría de los trabajos antropológicos con relación a este tipo de problemáticas se ha centrado en el estudio de los sistemas etnomédicos, la identificación de taxonomías Folk y de los modelos explicativos tradicionales a estas enfermedades (24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31), presentando una descripción y caracterización de los conceptos utilizados para definir estos padecimientos y los elementos terapéuticos recomendados para su tratamiento en contextos culturales específicos. Entre ellos, el trabajo de E. A. Berlin et al (29), planteado desde un enfoque etnobiológico, realiza además una evaluación sobre la eficacia terapéutica de los recursos utilizados.…”

RESUMEN En este trabajo presentamos una revisión crítica de diferentes aproximaciones al estudio de patologías gastrointestinales, focalizando en las parasitosis intestinales en particular. Indagamos sobre el modo en que han sido construidas y definidas, de qué forma esto ha incidido en su tratamiento, y exploramos la posibilidad de plantear nuevas alternativas para su abordaje. Nuestro interés por el tema surge de los resultados obtenidos en diferentes instancias de investigación interdisciplinaria, desarrollada en dos comunidades Mbya Guaraní de la provincia de Misiones, Argentina. En este contexto, observamos que la ocurrencia de enfermedades gastrointestinales, parasitarias en particular, no responde a un conjunto limitado de causas, sino que presenta múltiples causas de naturaleza diversa. En este sentido, se plantea la necesidad de identificar y evaluar aspectos socioculturales no contemplados en los estudios epidemiológicos tradicionales, a fin de reconocer las condiciones bioculturales en que se instalan y prosperan estas infecciones.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of counseling in terms of knowledge, attitude, practices (KAP) outcomes. To counsel the diabetic patients about their disease, medications, and lifestyle modifications that are necessary for proper disease management. Materials and Methods:A randomized prospective controlled study was conducted for 6 months in the general medicine outpatient department of SSIMS and RC. Patients enrolled were randomized into test and control groups. Suitably designed and validated KAP questionnaire was applied at baseline and final follow-up for both groups. Results:At the end of the study, knowledge and attitude levels were markedly improved in test group patients. The fasting blood sugar of the patients in the test group were found to be significant (p<0.00) when compared from baseline to second assessment whereas in control group, no significant changes were observed (*p>0.05). Conclusion:The study concluded that the improved knowledge and attitude clearly indicates the benefits of pharmacist-provided counseling although they did not translate into improved practice outcomes. The study observed that hospital pharmacists can play a key role in the management of diabetes mellitus and patient care.
