Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

A qualitative study conducted in 2018 Exploring socio-cultural factors impacting adherence to type 2 diabetes therapy in rural Sargodha featured respondents who were primarily doctors, patients, and. Diet, exercise, and smoking were all variables. The void we investigators will fill will be comprised of several professionals assessing sleep and sedentary lifestyle. A book on anthropology published in 2021 shows the gap are still the same about sedentary life style.

The investigators aim to determine lifestyle practices in relation to sedentary behaviour in different occupations \& comparing which profession is prone to chronic diseases in accordance to lifestyle practices

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Considering all the numerous variables that can have an effect on someone's health, it seems obvious that prior research into all the potential determinants of a health intervention's success is necessary. Care for a sickness requires knowledge of both the disease itself and the patient's social and cultural context, thus it's important to learn about both. Since diabetes is chronic, it must be managed permanently. IDF's most recent projections for 2019 show that the prevalence of diabetes in Pakistan has risen dramatically. There will be 33 million diabetic adults in Pakistan in 2021, a 70% rise from 2019. After China (with 141 million cases) and India (with 102 million), Pakistan presently has the third-highest rate of diabetes prevalence worldwide (74 million). The growth in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes can be attributed to multiple variables, including but not limited to those in the areas of economics, demography, ecology, and heredity. Urbanization, an ageing population, a decline in physical activity, and a rise in overweight and obesity are all contributing factors.

In addition to providing useful information for larger-scale diabetes initiatives at the national and provincial levels (and their partners), this study's unique emphasis on the patient's point of view could be seen as groundbreaking (as an illness). The recommended treatment will be interpreted from patient's viewpoint and their respective issues, concerns, challenges and socio-cultural elements at large that may influence or compromise the adherence towards the proposed treatment of diabetes. Therefore, from the patient's vantage point, the proposed treatment's implementation through pilot intervention in chosen health facilities can be understood as an explanatory model of sickness (of/for diabetes).
