Traditional Health Practitioners-Initiated HIV Testing and Counselling
A considerable proportion of people living with HIV remain unaware of their HIV status. In South Africa, individuals in rural areas often receive health care from both allopathic providers and traditional health practitioners (THPs). Our team piloted a task-shifting pilot study to determine the feasibility of THP-led HIV counselling and testing. Our team conducted semi-structured, qualitative interviews with healthcare workers, THPs who completed…
A individually randomized controlled trial comparing Healer-led vs. clinician- led training to improve personal protective equipment use among traditional healers in South Africa
Like allopathic healthcare workers, healers are also exposed to patients’ blood and body fluids. A widespread practice is the traditional “injection,” in which the healer performs subcutaneous incisions to rub herbs directly into the bloodied skin, resulting in 1,500 blood exposures over their lifetime. We tested the impact of healer-led PPE training, staffed by trained traditional healers who reported using PPE during each risky clinical encount…
Pulmonary tuberculosis vs. Tindzhaka and Mafularha
Although awareness of tuberculosis (TB) is high in South Africa, delays in TB testing or treatment persist. Even those with symptoms of TB often delay testing, with one study in Mpumalanga revealing a median allopathic care-seeking delay of four weeks. We sought to understand how traditional healers perceived TB symptoms among their patients, if they treated the disease, and what (if any) illnesses they defined as being traditional may have overl…
Exploratory validation of relationship functioning and non-pregnant partner behavior scales in pregnant people living with HIV in Mpumalanga Province, South Africa
Partner engagement in antenatal care can improve care for pregnant people living with HIV. However, concerns about engaging unsupportive non-pregnant partners warrant further study to avoid engaging partners who pressure their pregnant partner to refuse testing or treatment and/or perpetuate intimate partner violence. We adapted established relationship functioning and partner behaviour questionnaires among pregnant people living with HIV initiat…
Adolescents’ understanding of obesity
BACKGROUND: Levels of obesity are rising in South Africa, notably among adolescent females. Excessive energy-dense diets and physical inactivity are among the factors contributing to this increase. Given that these factors are largely behavioural, understanding young people's views of obesity can contribute to more targeted behavioural interventions. Yet little is known of how rural South African adolescents view obesity. OBJECTIVES: The aim of t…
Complexities in interdisciplinary community engagement projects
There is a growing interest in using drama techniques and theatrical performance to disseminate health information to lay audiences as part of community engagement projects. This process can be challenging for a number of reasons, however. In this paper, we describe the process and pitfalls of an interdisciplinary project involving the development and performance of a play about diabetes mellitus. The play formed part of a long-term, three-way co…
Reflections on First Wave Covid-19 Practice
This article reflects the experiences of a Family–Patient Liaison (FPL) team affiliated with a Field Hospital during the first wave of COVID-19 in South Africa. The reflection draws on our first 6-week experience providing telephonic support to low-income families resident in Gauteng. As FPLs, we formed part of an integrated healthcare programme and complimented the clinical treatment by providing ongoing support and advice to patients' families,…
