摘要

Our aim was to identify the factors that influence the care-seeking behaviour of chest symptomatics in urban and rural areas in South India. We conducted in-depth interviews with 649 participants: 80% of 310 urban residents and 63% of 339 rural people had sought care (P < 0.01), 93% within 1 month of onset of symptoms. Private health care facilities were the first and preferred point of contact for 57% of urban and 48% of rural participants; the major reasons were proximity to residence and their perception that good-quality care would be available there. Symptomatics who did not seek care attributed their inaction to insufficient severity of symptoms (51%), unaffordability (46%) and lack of time due to work pressures (25%). Socio-economic factors such as literacy and family income significantly influenced care-seeking behaviour. Our results indicate that most chest symptomatics seek care promptly; their initial response is to go to the nearest private health care facility, shifting to another if they are dissatisfied. Fifty per cent of the participants who did not seek care felt that their symptoms were not severe.
