| description | Knowledge of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and hypertension on various body organs among health workers is necessary to educate patients. Body mapping is a tool used for exploring perceptions as a part of qualitative research. This study assesses the perceptions of health-care workers on the effects of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and hypertension on the human body using the body mapping technique. All 19 staff members of an Urban Primary Health Center were asked to draw a human body and map the parts affected by uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and hypertension. The mean age of the participants was 35.42 ± 10.54 years, and median years of work experience were 4 (3, 7) years. Fourteen (74%) participants had mapped kidneys and 11 (58%) participants had mapped head/brain indicating stroke to indicate damage due to uncontrolled diabetes mellitus and hypertension. Only 7 (37%) and 4 (26%) participants perceived that feet and eyes could be affected. |
