Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Pharmacy (IOSRPHR) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 1
Abstract
The farm women are one of the neglected individuals in the farm ecology in Indian scenario. They have to work for a longer time under the scorching sun and rain in the field as well as they serve their family along with. So, they suffer from various types of diseases and physical problems all the year round. But at the end of the day their health issues are severely neglected. Sometimes they pay visit to the doctor at later stages of problem or sometimes there is no visit to doctor . Lack of systematic screening and prevention for both acute and chronic illness is a greater constraint for poor farm women. The present study focuses its target on the farm womens’ frequency of visit to the doctor.A study on this topic, was carried out at Boinchigram village under Pandua Block in Hooghly district of west bengal with objectives to generate classified information on occupational hazards of farm women,to estimate the level visit to doctor by the farm women s in terms of a score of socio-economic and ecological factors ,to estimate the interactive relationships between frequency of doctor’s visit and the set of socio-economic and ecological variables and to generate micro level policy implication based on the empirical study. In order to collect the reliable experimental data, the selected parameters were taken, like: Height, Weight, B.M.I., Blood report, Perceived physical problems, functional literacy, mental stress, frequency of visit to doctor etc. Majority of the population under study are poor, undernourished farm women. From the study it has seen that the variable Body Mass Index (BMI) has recorded both the highest direct and indirect effect to the dependent variable frequency of visit to doctor. Because , who are physically weak and have less weight and height mainly suffer from many physical problems and the frequency of visit to doctor is highest in case of them .And the total calorie consumption per day has recorded the highest indirect effect because calorie is the most important component to eke out one’s daily lives. So, we should immediately take both preventive and curative measures, otherwise it will affect future workforce of Agriculture.
