Transforming mental health care in Kenya
This short communication advocates for the strategic implementation of Routine Outcome Monitoring (ROM) systems within Kenya's specialized mental health institutions, especially teaching and referral hospitals. The proposed shift aims to transform these institutions into learning health systems, dynamic structures that systematically capture and utilize data from everyday clinical practice to drive continuous improvement in care quality, accounta…
Socioeconomic inequalities, substance use, and chronic multimorbidity in Kiambu and Nakuru counties in Kenya
Multimorbidity, defined as the coexistence of two or more chronic conditions in an individual, is a growing public health concern associated with increased healthcare costs, poorer quality of life, and increased mortality. Substance use, defined as the consumption of alcohol, tobacco, or other psychoactive substances, may influence the development of multimorbidity, but evidence from sub-Saharan Africa remains limited. We examined the prevalence …
Explanatory models, illness, and treatment experiences of patients with psychosis using the services of traditional and faith healers in three African countries
As part of formative studies to design a program of collaborative care for persons with psychosis, we explored personal experience and lay attributions of illness as well as treatment among persons who had recently received care at traditional and faith healers' (TFHs) facilities in three cultural groups in Sub-Saharan Africa. A purposive sample of 85 individuals in Ibadan (Nigeria), Kumasi (Ghana), and Nairobi (Kenya) were interviewed. Data was …
Factor analysis of the Clinical Outcomes in Routine Evaluation – Outcome Measures (Core-OM) in a Kenyan sample
The English language version of the CORE-OM can be used with psychiatric patients attending psychiatric treatment in Nairobi. The factor structure was more or less the same as has been shown in previous studies. The most important limitation is the relatively small sample size
Collaboration Between Biomedical and Complementary and Alternative Care Providers
We examined the scope of collaborative care for persons with mental illness as implemented by traditional healers, faith healers, and biomedical care providers. We conducted semistructured focus group discussions in Ghana, Kenya, and Nigeria with traditional healers, faith healers, biomedical care providers, patients, and their caregivers. Transcribed data were thematically analyzed. A barrier to collaboration was distrust, influenced by factiona…
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder symptom self-report in adults in Kenya and its associated risk factors, an analysis from a household survey in a demographic surveillance site
The study demonstrates the magnitude of ADHD symptoms as a public health issue, relevant for health worker training, and the importance of further research into its prevalence in adults and associated risk factors
Adult Psychotic Symptoms, Their Associated Risk Factors and Changes in Prevalence in Men and Women Over a Decade in a Poor Rural District of Kenya
There have been no repeat surveys of psychotic symptoms in Kenya or indeed subSaharan Africa. A mental health epidemiological survey was therefore conducted in a demographic surveillance site of a Kenyan household population in 2013 to test the hypothesis that the prevalence of psychotic symptoms would be similar to that found in an earlier sample drawn from the same sample frame in 2004, using the same overall methodology and instruments. This 2…
Probable Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in Kenya and Its Associated Risk Factors
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and its associated risk factors in a general household population in Kenya. Data were drawn from a cross-sectional household survey of mental disorders and their associated risk factors. The participants received a structured epidemiological assessment of common mental disorders, and symptoms of PTSD, accompanied by additional sections on socio-demographi…
Tedium vitae, death wishes, suicidal ideation and attempts in Kenya-prevalence and risk factors
Suicidal ideation and attempts pose a significant public health burden in this poor rural area of Kenya. The findings are relevant for mental health promotion and prevention programmes, public education and professional training programmes in relevant sectors, especially in front line health workers and social workers
Improving adherence to ante-retroviral treatment for people with harmful alcohol use in Kariobangi, Kenya through participatory research and action
We propose that PRA could be useful in improving communication between the health workers and the clients attending primary health care (PHC) facilities and can be applied to strengthen involvement of support groups and community health workers in follow up and counselling. Integrating these features into primary health care (PHC) would be important not only to PLWHA but also to other diseases in the PHC setting . Longer term follow up is needed …
