CHAPTERS DATAANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF FINDINGS FORAN EVALUATIVE STUDY OF COMMUNITY-BASED REHA,BILITATIVE CARE FOR AMPUTATED PATIENTS LIVING IN THE SUBURBANAl\1> RURAL 5.1 INTRODUCTION AREA NORTH OF DURBAN METRO REGION F This chapter discusses a quantitative and qualitative study conducted on the amputated patients living in the suburban area north of Durban Metro, Region F. The data will be analyzed and presented in the form of graphs, figures and tables and will be interpreted simultaneously in order to attain the meaning ofthe study. This analysis is directed at the patients only. 5.2 SECTION A: DEMOGRAPHfCDATA This section was included for comparative purposes to find out which sex and ages are affected more than the other. These varieties are thought to be closely related to causal factors ofamputation, for instance, males are more commonly involved in violence and car accidents than females, as they are the power and working force. With amputated female patients the cause is thought to be related to the physical medical illnesses rather than injury. The age distnbution is also thought to be a contributory factor to amputation. Adults outnumber children that are amputated. The reason for this is that children use transport less frequently, except those who attend schools that are far from their homes. The number ofchildren that are amputated are commonly those who play on the road or are injured by tractors on the farms and rural areas, as well as complicated fractures that result in vascular injury. In suburban areas amputations are thought to be commonly 40 •
caused by accidents. As far as rehabilitation is concerned children are rehabilitated easier than adults. 5.2.1 ITEM I GENDER DISTRIBUTION OF AMPUTATED PATIENTS TABLE 5.1 GEJ\i-nERDlSTRIBUflONS OF AMPUfATED PATIENTS Gender Frequency Percentage Males IS 60% Females IO 40% Total 25 100% Table 5.1 indicates that amongst the respondents there were (15) 60% males as compared to (10) 40% females. This reveals that male amputees outnumber female amputees, thus more males were affected than females. The common cause of amputation in males was crushing injuries to those who were pedestrians, gunshot with vascular injuries and complicated fractures sustained during accidents while driving. Among these male respondents, one amputation was due to snakebite. The majority ofamputations amongst female respondents were due to vascular injuries though a few were also due to injuries sustained from road and railway accidents. 5.2.2 ITEM 2 AGE OF THE RESPONDENTS TABLE 5.% AGES OFTHE RESPONDENTS Age Distribution Below IS years Frequency - Percentage - 15-25 years 1 4% 26-35 years 4 16% 36-45years 12 "' 48% 46-55 years 7 28% 56 and above 1 4% Total 25 100% 41 . •
