INTRODUCTION

Development programme in any developing society like India has two major components. One is the development input, be it agriculture, health and hygiene or social development. The other is the media, be it mass media, traditional media, interpersonal channels and digital media that is employed to carry the development input. The use of media resources for ‘Development Support Communication’ is to ensure the development inputs reach the beneficiaries.  Communication for development has three basic factors, Advocacy, Social Mobilization and Behavioural change. Health communication generally deals with the process of communicating promotional health information on personal health and hygiene and educational campaigns on public health and sanitation. Health communication pursues to increase target audience knowledge on health issues, demonstrate healthy practices, support health services and dispel the misconceptions about health and so on. To ensure that messages on health communication to reach target audiences accurately and quickly, health communication professionals must develop a health information package designed for the particular sections of the population in the society.Development Communication is the knowledge of social transformation carried out by the exploration, model, and skills in the communication to carry growth.

Development communication normally refers to communication policies and principles in the underdeveloped and developing countries. Development communication is resulting from social transformation to social growth and development theories that recognized the central issues of the post-world war era in terms of a lack of progress corresponding to first and second world countries.3

The UN General Assembly in Article 25 wherein it was clearly stated that Health is both a public and merit good. Health cannot be forced by affordability, and cannot, therefore, be left to the market. It is an understanding in which primary health and hygiene care, like primary education, qualifies as a merit good for the provision of which the state has to bear special responsibility”.2

This study aims to know about knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding health and hygiene and role of media providing healthinformation among the people of four selected villages in the sub-urban area of Jaipur city in Rajasthan.

The objective of this study:

  • To ascertain the knowledge, attitude and practices on health and hygiene in rural areas

  • To examine the use of conventional mass media by the target audience for information on health

  • To assess the role and use of digital media on delivering health information

  • RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The study is being conducted under Ex-Post-Facto conditions in four selected villages in the sub-urban area of Jaipur city in Rajasthan. Keeping the study objectives in view an interview schedule was developed for data collection. The questionnaire was administered through a Google form. Where ever respondents were not able to use the Google Form, the form was filled on their behalf through personal interviews. A random sample from the target audience group was selected for the study.  A total number of 133 respondents from four villages were responded to the survey. All these responses were calculated with the help of SPSS software.

ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

The data collected through the survey in Google form. Tables present the demography of the respondents. Majority of the respondents (52%) are less than 40 years of age. (24%) of the respondents are of 40 to 50 years of age. (12 %) of the respondents are of the age group from 51 to 62 years. Rest 12% respondent are more than 65 years of age. On the other hand, a majority (53%) of the respondents are male, (47%) of the respondents are female.

The (Table 1)above shows that a great majority (98 %) of the respondents are aware of health and hygiene. This a remarkable fete in rural areas, wherein the awareness about health and hygiene always remained low. This may be because there is a greater amount of information available today and better exposure as well.

To a question enquiry about the knowledge of personal hygiene, (Table 2) the data has revealed that more than 90% of the respondent had a fairly good idea about various aspects of personal hygiene. As the awareness was very high, further proving to show that personal hygiene factor-like washing hand before the food had an awareness of more than 97%. Other hygiene had its like bath daily, brushing teeth, hand washing after toilet, washing cloth had a high score of more than 90% among respondent. Even washing cloth regularly (90%) was attributed to hygiene practice. However, changing clothes daily as a hygiene practice was poor with 45%. Washing hands with soap scores a fairly good awareness of 75% among the respondent. Among the 62 women respondent, 93% of them consider protection during menstrual period as good hygiene habit.

A question was asked regarding the understanding of personal health, the data has revealed that rise in body temperature (fever) and viral fever is known to more than 90% respondents. Knowledge about Blood pressure among the respondent is also high (75%) in comparison to Sugar level (54%) and Diabetic (38%). One of the reasons for better awareness about viral fever and a health condition called diabetes is due to better availability of information through mass media. However, blood pressure and increased sugar level information which are slightly more technical have not been perceived by the rural community(Table 3).

In response to a question regarding falling ill more than 85% among the respondent beliefs in visiting Government Doctors in comparison to Private Doctors only 54%. The data has also revealed that more than 50% of the respondents believe in home remedy and 22% believe in God. However, visiting Seva Kendra in their village scores poorly 2.5% among respondent. The data shows that there is a need to strengthen the health facilities under the Government (Table 4).

To a question on self-protection from any disease, more than 90% of respondents’ state that they drink potable water, and keep the surroundings clean. During the viral affection, more than 80% respondent had a fair idea of not to visit the affected place and person both. More than 70% of the respondent belief in taking proper diet during viral infection. Taking medicine as a precaution during by viral disease was poorly rated only 9%. This indicates that there is a greater awareness among the rural community about issues related to health and precautions need to be taken (Table 5).

 

To a question on from where did you get information on Personal Health and Hygiene, radio and television score high more than 70% in comparison to newspaper, magazine, poster, and brochures are 30%, 1.5%, 3%, 3% respectively ( Table 6). The indication is that the audio-visual medium is more sought after for information on health and hygiene. The print media is not the sought source of information since it is a literate medium and also the coverage of information on health and hygiene is also pretty low. Surprisingly, even posters which are abundant in-display do not look atthe popular source of information.

To a question about the sources of information on health programme of government, Social media including mobile apps score more than 70%. Electronic media information on health programme of the government was fairly good scores about 54% among the respondents. Print media only 12% among the respondent was the fairly poor medium of information regarding health awareness programme of government is a concern ( Fig. 1).

To a question analysis on receiving information by the government about maintaining personal health and hygiene. The respondent response to this particular question mostly in the negative way of more than 85% ( Fig. 2).

In an analysis about media is creating awareness on personal health and hygiene, it was found that social media is creating more awareness (87 %) among them through awareness campaigns. Through mobile apps, 52% of respondent had positively aware of health and hygiene. Information about health and hygiene awareness programme by Television and Radio scores more than 75%.  Creating an awareness programme among respondents by newspaper and magazine was poorly about less than 19% ( fig 3).

Keeping the consistency in the response, 69 % of the respondents said they depend on social media and 63 % of on mobile applications (Fig. 4). Traditional mass media like print, electronic and outdoor media has the very little role as the most preferred source of information. 

For any development message to be diffused in a community, the dispersion of the message through appropriate media is essential. The data has revealed that a host of social media platforms play a very important role in the diffusion of information. According to the study, social media platforms (66 %) have a major role, followed by mobile apps (48 %) ( Fig. No. 5). Traditional media and mass media also play an important role. The high dependency on social media platforms and mobiles apps even rural areas is because of the percolation of internet facilities. Besides, not so expensive and affordable mobile phone technology is also there.

To a question on the media supporting to maintain personal health and hygiene, the respondents reported that updated information on social media (68%) and mobile apps (55%) play a vital role. Besides, the latest information provided by radio and TV (63 %) also have an important in this regard (Fig. 6). The data also reveals that print media as a source has a limited role.

Considering the role and impotence of health worker in supporting health and hygiene in rural areas, a question was asked about the frequency of health worker visit or contact. A majority (68 %) of the respondents said it never happened and some 27 % said once in a way the health worker contacted for providing information on health and hygiene ( Fig. 7). 

Also a question on providing some basic training on health and hygiene, 77 % of the respondents said such training was never given (Fig. 8). However, a bit surprisingly some 19 % said at some point in time some basic training on health and hygiene was given in the villages.

CONCLUSION

The study reveals that the respondents have a fairly good knowledge of personal health and hygiene. The respondents have a very positive perception of health and hygiene and its importance to individual wellbeing. In this study, ‘Development Support Communication’ revealed the technology has changed the present situation in the diffusion of information to mass regarding awareness on their health and hygiene. The study also supports the advancement of technology in the field of Communication in the form of mobile applications to avail of this benefit. Media is creating awareness on various aspects of health and hygiene but the medium is changed from traditional to digital. The study revealed the government official and intuition are hardly concerned about support and training of personal health and hygiene. Seva Kendra and government health professional is a failure in providing information among these four sub-urban villages of Jaipur on personal health and hygiene. Digital media extensively used to access the information, for their health and hygiene issues. The study also reveals the use of smartphones for easy access, with constantly updated on the news apps, to save their time and money.
