  • Factors Affecting Adherence to National Malaria Treatment
    Bawate et al. Malar J (2016) 15:112 DOI 10.1186/s12936-016-1153-5 Malaria Journal RESEARCH Open Access Factors affecting adherence to national malaria treatment guidelines in management of malaria among public healthcare workers in Kamuli District, Uganda Charles Bawate1,2,4* , Sylvia T. Callender‑Carter4, Ben Nsajju4 and Denis Bwayo3 Abstract Background: Malaria remains a major public health threat accounting for 30.4 % of disease morbidity in outpatient clinic visits across all age groups in Uganda. Consequently, malaria control remains a major public health priority in endemic countries such as Uganda. Experiences from other countries in Africa that revised their malaria case manage‑ ment suggest that health workers adherence may be problematic. Methods: A descriptive, cross-sectional design was used and collected information on health system, health workers and patients. Using log-binomial regression model, adjusted prevalence risk ratios (PRRs) and their associated 95 % confidence intervals were determined in line with adherence to new treatment guidelines of parasitological diagnosis and prompt treatment with artemisinin combination therapy (ACT). Results: Nine health centres, 24 health workers and 240 patient consultations were evaluated. Overall adherence to national malaria treatment guidelines (NMTG) was 50.6 % (122/241). It was significantly high at HC III [115 (53 %)] than at HC IV (29 %) [PRR 0.28 (95 % CI 0.148 0.52), p 0.000]. Compared to the nursing aide, the adherence level was 1.57 times higher among= enrolled nurses (p 0.004)= and 1.68 times higher among nursing officers, p 0.238, with statistical significance among the former. No= attendance of facility malaria-specific continuing medical= education (CME) sessions [PRR 1.9 (95 % CI 1.29 2.78), p 0.001] and no display of malaria treatment job aides in consultation rooms [PRR 0.64 (95= % CI 0.4 1.03), p 0.07] was= associated with increased adherence to guidelines with the former showing a statistical= significance and the= association of the latter borderline statistical significance.

  • Antenatal Depression in a Rural District in Uganda: Findings from a Facility-Based Cross-Sectional Study
    Antenatal Depression in a Rural District in Uganda: findings from a facility-based cross-sectional Study. Oliva Nalwadda*, Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. [email protected] Robert Wamala, Makerere University, Kampala, Uganda. [email protected] Juliet E M Nakku, Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital, Kampala, Uganda. [email protected] *Corresponding author Oliva Nalwadda Butabika National Referral Mental Hospital P.O Box 7017 Kampala, Uganda Tel: + 256783513056 Email: [email protected] 1 Abstract Background Understanding the burden and risk factors for maternal mental disorders in sub-Saharan Africa is an urgent matter. However, the prevalence of perinatal mental disorders remains unknown in many areas, especially in rural communities. This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and intensity of antenatal depressive disorders as well as the risk factors among pregnant women in a rural district of Uganda. Methods All pregnant women in 2nd and 3rd trimester attending antenatal care services in five rural health facilities in Kamuli district were interviewed in a facility-based cross-sectional study. The pregnant women were administered a structured questionnaire, which included the 9-item patient health questionnaire (PHQ-9) to screen for depression as well as sections about demographic characteristics, domestic violence and maternal health. Results Among the 505 women enrolled in the study, slightly over one-in-every ten pregnant women (13%) had a depressive disorder. PHQ-9 scores were higher among women of advanced age and victims of domestic violence (P < 0.05). HIV negative was a protective factor for antenatal depression (OR=0.42). Conclusions Integration of mental health screening tools in maternal and child health services is essential to increase awareness and treatment uptake for common mental disorders in maternity.
