abstract: 'Background: Empirical studies have used a piecemeal approach to the
|
||||
|
||||
examination of health, health care-seeking, uninsured people and the
|
||||
|
||||
health status of those who are chronically ill, but no study emerged in
|
||||
|
||||
an extensive literature search, on the developing nations, and in
|
||||
|
||||
particular Latin America and the Caribbean, that has investigated health
|
||||
|
||||
and health care-seeking behaviour among uninsured ill people in a single
|
||||
|
||||
research.
|
||||
|
||||
Aims: The current study aims to narrow this divide by investigating
|
||||
|
||||
health, self-reported diagnosed health conditions, and health
|
||||
|
||||
care-seeking behaviour among uninsured ill Jamaicans, and to model
|
||||
|
||||
factors which account for their moderate-to-very good health status as
|
||||
|
||||
well as health care-seeking behaviour.
|
||||
|
||||
Methods and materials: The current study utilises cross-sectional survey
|
||||
|
||||
data on Jamaicans which was collected in 2007. The survey is a
|
||||
|
||||
modification of the World Bank''s Living Standard Household Survey. This
|
||||
|
||||
work extracted a sample of 736 respondents who indicated that they were
|
||||
|
||||
ill and uninsured from a sample of 6,783 respondents. Logistic
|
||||
|
||||
regression analyses examined 1) the relationship between
|
||||
|
||||
moderate-to-very good health status and some socio-demographic, economic
|
||||
|
||||
and biological variables; as well as 2) a correlation between medical
|
||||
|
||||
care-seeking behaviour and some socio-demographic, economic and
|
||||
|
||||
biological variables.
|
||||
|
||||
Results: Sixty out of every 100 uninsured ill Jamaicans were females; 43
|
||||
|
||||
out of every 100 were poor; 59 out of every 100 uninsured ill persons
|
||||
|
||||
dwelled in rural areas; 1 of every 2 utilised public health care
|
||||
|
||||
facilities, two-thirds had chronic health conditions, and 22 out of
|
||||
|
||||
every 100 reported at least poor health. Moderate-to-very good health
|
||||
|
||||
status was correlated with age (OR = 0.97, 95\% CI = 0.95-0.98); male
|
||||
|
||||
(OR = 0.60, 95\% CI = 0.37-0.97); middle class (OR = 0.45, 95\% CI =
|
||||
|
||||
0.21-0.95); logged income (OR = 2.87, 95\% CI = 1.50-5.49); area of
|
||||
|
||||
residence (Other Town - OR = 2.33, 95(boolean AND)\% CI = 1.19-4.54;
|
||||
|
||||
Urban - OR = 2.01, 95\% CI = 1.11-3.62), and health care-seeking
|
||||
|
||||
behaviour (OR = 0.45, 95\% CI = 0.27-0.74). Sixty-one of every 100
|
||||
|
||||
uninsured respondents with ill health sought medical care. Medical
|
||||
|
||||
care-seeking behaviour was significantly related to chronic illness (OR
|
||||
|
||||
= 2.25, 95\% CI = 1.31-3.88); age (OR = 1.03, 95\% CI = 1.01-1.04);
|
||||
|
||||
crowding (OR = 1.12, 1.01-1.24); income (OR = 1.00, 95\% CI =
|
||||
|
||||
1.00-1.00); and married people (OR = 0.48, 95\% CI = 0.28-0.82).
|
||||
|
||||
Uninsured ill Jamaicans who resided in rural areas had the lowest
|
||||
|
||||
moderate-to-very good health status, but there was no difference in
|
||||
|
||||
health care-seeking behaviour based on the geographical location of
|
||||
|
||||
residence.
|
||||
|
||||
Conclusion: Despite the fact that there is health insurance coverage
|
||||
|
||||
available for those who are chronically ill and elderly in Jamaica,
|
||||
|
||||
there are still many such people who are without health insurance
|
||||
|
||||
coverage. The task of public health specialists and policy makers is to
|
||||
|
||||
fashion public education and interventions that will address many of the
|
||||
|
||||
realities which emerged in this research.'
