BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE: Pharmacies play an important role in provision of health care to the community.The objective of the study was to explore the reasons for a variety of drugs sold without prescription for commonly presenting complaints in Rural and Urban Pharmacies of Faisalabad District. METHODOLOGY: This explanatory sequential mixed method design involved workers from twenty-five pharmacies from urban and rural areas of Faisalabad from February to July 2020. After obtaining informed consent, fifty pharmacy workers filled a pre-designed questionnaire (followed by twenty-five semi-structured, individual, face-to-face interviews. Quantitative data was analyzed via SPSS software and transcribed interviews were organized manually for data analysis. RESULTS: Response rate was 76.2%. As reported by the pharmacists,40% and 90% of urban and rural population respectively came to pharmacies for over-the-counter drugs. Fifty percent belonged to middle class among urban and 70% belonged to rural population. Data analysis led to formation of 36 codes, 6 subthemes and 3 themes. Out of the four reasons quoted by the pharmacists (time constraints, lack of basic facility locally, financial constraints, and myths/fear of going to doctor), there was a statistically significant difference for rural population going directly to pharmacies because of financial constraints. CONCLUSION: Lack of education and financial constraints are the leading influential factors for people taking over-the-counter drugs in both rural and urban population, with time constraints being at the top list among urban population. Robust policies and public health care programs can lead to public awareness at large and can help in creating an environment of health care provision with MINIMAL RISKS.

In the context of uncertainty, choice of health care facilities and care seeking process is interest of perennial concern. Understanding the injury care seeking process forms the central objective of the paper. It also tries to narrate the process of seeking care between different providers of care, levels of care and duration of treatment, determinants of choice of health care etc. The study utilised primary data collected from the injured (302 cases) who were discharged from selected public and private health facilities from three districts of Kerala, India. The injured had 488 overall interactions with medical care institutions/personnel yielding an average number of 1.6 interactions per injured person; 60.2 per cent of the interactions were accounted by public health care institutions with 54 per cent of the injured choosing them as their first point of contact. Length of treatment at different health facilities by the injured indicate that more than 70 per cent were treated as outpatient (including observation cases) and the rest were prescribed hospitalized treatment at the first pint of contact. Share of public sector health care institutions treating mild, moderate and severe injuries is 55.5 per cent, 54.6 per cent and 48.6 per cent respectively. In sum, public sector is the preferred choice of injury care seeking for moderate and severe road traffic injuries (cost of treatment, poor economic status) while mild injuries are primarily accounted for by the private sector.

The reviews of the consumers who are shopping online is playing very important role in shaping the intentions of the purchase of others. The digital platforms are increasing day by day which are giving the opportunity to the customers to share and express their views, comments and ideas, and at the same time it is establishing a powerful tool of marketing which is known as electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) which has become an important source to collect the details about any product for the consumers. Review consensus gives comprehensiveness to e-WOM. Single or limited reviews fail to give a complete picture to the e-WOM, hence to enable customers to make an appropriate decision multiple number of reviews with similarity among them are required. In the present, study a sample of 328 online customers has been considered through a structured questionnaire designed on five-point interval scale. Mean score and Multiple regression were used to analyze the data. The data analysis has been done with help of SPSS 20.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences). Through this study it is found that most of the aspects of review consensus have positive impact on e-WOM and E-Purchase Satisfaction for consumer goods.

Introduction: Social skills inventory is a measure used to evaluate two dimensions of communicational skills: emotional (non-verbal), and social (verbal). Each dimension evaluates three categories: expressiveness, sensibility, and control. Objective: We wanted to find out if there was a statistically significant difference in social skills, in health workers, in the city of Loznica. We hypothesized there weren't any differences in social skills inventories of men and women working in primary and secondary healthcare levels. Method: The participants were given the SSI (Social skills inventory) questionnaire. It contained 90 questions, divided into 6 categories. The total number of the participants (employees of the primary and secondary health care institutions in the city of Loznica) was 76, of whom 51 were women and 25 men, and their age ranged from 25 to 65. A university level of education had 47 participants, 4 had a college degree, and 25 had a high school degree. The inferential statistics (t-test) was used for data analysis. Results: After data analysis, based on statistical data handling (t-test of independent categories for singular samples) we got a p<0.05 for expressiveness, and it was more prominent in male participants and behavioral control in female participants. The p-value for the total score for social skills was p>0.05, which bore no statistical significance. There was no statistically significant difference in the total score of the inventory of social skills between male and female health care workers. Though, there was a statistically significant gender difference in expressiveness, in favor of men, and social control, in favor of women. Conclusion: The total score, after testing the inventory of social skills of health workers in Loznica, showed there was no statistically significant difference between men and women, but the level of expressiveness and behavioral control showed a statistically significant difference.
