II. Methodology
It was an observational descriptive study with institution based cross sectional design carried out in Tarakeswar rural hospital (field practice area of Medical College, Kolkata), district – Hooghly, West Bengal. Total study period was four month (January to April, 2014) out of which data collection period was two months. From the available record of last one year from Tarakeswar rural hospital it has been found that average number of patient attending OPD per day is 100, approximately 50 attending general OPD & 50 attending Maternal and Child Health OPD. With the pre testing it has been found that every day 12 proforma can be filled up. Going twice a week (Monday and Wednesday) for two month yields 17 working days. Therefore expected sample size was 204. But taking non respondents into consideration, ultimate sample size was 192. As the patient attending general OPD & MCH OPD was 1:1, therefore approximately 6 patient from general OPD (every 8th patient) & 6 patient from MCH OPD (every 8th patient) was taken into consideration. They were taken alternatively. Token cum paper, Pre-designed pre-tested schedule, Wrist watch and clip board were used as a tools. Consent from BMOH was taken. A table was arranged at the entrance of patient and times were calibrated in all OPD table & pathological/radiological centre. In all the OPD tables including pathological/radiological centres, it was informed to the concerned person to note down the time after end of the procedure. As the patient enters the rural hospital, a token cum paper with the names of all the tables was supplied. They were requested to come to the entrance table after the completion of all the procedures. Exit time was noted and socio demographic data was collected during the exit of the patient. Data was compiled and analysed by appropriate statistical method (SPSS 20.0 etc). Time was noted at the entrance (Table 0), After completion of registration (Table 3), After completion of taking medicine (Table 0), Those who are above 18 years old, those who have given consent, those who are not seriously ill, those completed at least up to taking medicine (i.e., up to Table 4) were included in the study.
