Social determinants of academic performance among undergraduate health professional students at Mbarara University of Science and Technology, Uganda
Impact of the micro-research model on building research capacity in undergraduate health professions students in HIV-related research
BACKGROUND: Low-income settings such as Uganda bear a disproportionately high burden of diseases such as HIV/AIDS, but contribute little to knowledge production to address their health challenges. The training of health professionals traditionally focuses on clinical skills with less emphasis on research; yet, in practice, health professionals are expected to do operational research. In this study, we evaluate the impact of a micro-research model…

BACKGROUND: Pharmacy graduates are expected to collaborate effectively within interprofessional healthcare teams. However, current training lacks structured opportunities for interprofessional learning. Simulation-based interprofessional education (sim-IPE) offers a promising approach to address this gap. This study explored the training needs and perceptions of pharmacy students regarding sim-IPE at Mbarara University of Science and Technology (…
Alcohol Use Disorder in Southwestern and Northern Uganda
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) among adults is a major public health concern globally. Alcohol use disorder affects livelihood and contributes to adverse health outcomes. We investigated the prevalence of AUD and associated factors among adults (≥ 18years) in Lira and Isingiro districts in Uganda. This was a cross-sectional study conducted among adults (≥18 years) in households, selected using multistage sampling. Data were collected using an intervi…
Exploring the relationship between religiosity and coping strategies among individuals with mental illness in Uganda
Mental illnesses are leading causes of disability worldwide, and individuals often turn to religion as a source of support and resilience. In Uganda, where religious participation is deeply embedded in society, the influence of religiosity on coping strategies among individuals with mental illnesses remains underexplored. This study examined the relationship between religiosity and coping strategies among people with mental illnesses at Mbarara R…

Background: The occurrence of multiple morbidities of postpartum depression (PPD), hypertension and diabetes mellitus (DM) among postpartum mothers poses a health care challenge because it not only affects the mother but also the life of the new born baby and that of close family members. Therefore, this study aimed at examining the prevalence and factors associated with these comorbidities among mothers in public health facilities in Mbarara, so…
Post-traumatic stress disorder and associated factors among soldiers retiring from active service in Uganda
Background Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the commonest mental health challenges among veterans and service members. However, studies on PTSD and its associated factors among military personnel in Uganda are limited. This study estimated the prevalence of PTSD and associated factors among soldiers retiring from active service in Uganda. Methods In this cross- sectional study we recruited 247 retiring soldiers and assessed for PTS…
Longitudinal Trends in Physical Activity Among Older Adults With and Without HIV in Uganda
Introduction Physical Activity (PA) and its links to frailty, quality of life (QoL), and other comorbidities in older Ugandans living with HIV remain under-explored. Methods We analyzed data from three annual assessments of older people living with HIV (PLWH) and age- and sex-similar people not living with HIV (PnLWH). We fitted linear generalized estimating equations (GEE) regression models to estimate the correlates of PA, including demographic…
Correlates of HIV treatment adherence self-efficacy among adolescents and young adults living with HIV in southwestern Uganda
Adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART) among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYLHIV) in sub-Saharan Africa is sub-optimal compared to younger children and older adults. Adherence self-efficacy is one of the intrapersonal factors most strongly correlated with ART adherence. The role of adherence self-efficacy in ART adherence among AYLHIV is not well studied in Uganda. We enrolled 300 AYLHIV between October and December 2021 from …
A qualitative analysis of self-management needs of adolescents and young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV in rural, southwestern Uganda
The number of adolescents living with HIV remains high in sub-Saharan Africa with poorer HIV treatment outcomes among adolescents and young adults compared to individuals in other age groups. For adolescents and young adults living with perinatally acquired HIV (AYLPHIV), the transition from pediatric to adult HIV care is a particularly high-risk period. We conducted a qualitative study to understand self-management needs of AYLPHIV in rural, sou…
Psychometric evaluation of the affiliate stigma scale for caregivers of people with mental illness in Uganda
The study findings show the affiliate stigma scale as a valid measure of affiliate stigma among the caregivers of patients with mental illness in southwestern Uganda. Therefore, this scale provides an opportunity to mental health care providers to assess affiliate stigma and develop interventions aimed at prevention stigma among caregivers and improve outcomes among people with mental illness
Prevalence and correlates of intimate partner violence following partner notification among index HIV clients attending primary healthcare facilities in Uganda
Assisted partner notification (APN) program was adopted by Uganda to increase individuals testing for HIV through their partners who test HIV positive. Thus, early enrollment in treatment and ensuring prevention services for the affected couple. However, APN is associated with high levels of Intimate partner violence (IPV). We aimed at determining the prevalence of IPV following APN in a cross-sectional study of newly diagnosed HIV clients in sou…
Treatment outcomes of alcohol use disorder by traditional medicine practitioners using plant derivatives in southwestern Uganda
People who were treatment for alcohol drinking problems by traditional healers using plant derivatives in this study described personal and social benefits after stopping drinking. This calls for further research to the plants used
Challenges and Fears of Adolescents and Young Adults Living with HIV Facing Transition to Adult HIV Care
Caregiving burden and mental health problems among family caregivers of people with dementia in rural Uganda
Family caregivers of people with dementia in rural Uganda experience a high caregiving burden, which is associated with symptoms of depression and anxiety. Interventions aimed at reducing caregiving burden may have important collateral mental health benefits
Community beliefs, HIV stigma, and depression among adolescents living with HIV in rural Uganda
The availability of and increased access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) has significantly reduced the morbidity and mortality associated with HIV. As a result, perinatally infected youth are increasingly able to reach adolescence. There is limited information about the psychosocial challenges facing adolescents living with HIV (ALWH) in rural settings of sub-Saharan Africa. We sought to understand psychosocial challenges facing ALWH in rural Uga…
Development and validation of a 20-item screening scale to detect major depressive disorder among adolescents with HIV in rural Uganda
This new 20-item depression scale was reliable and valid for detecting major depressive disorder among ALWH in rural Uganda
Burden of depressive symptoms and non-alcohol substance abuse; and their association with alcohol use and partner violence
In sub-Saharan Africa, there are limited data on burden of non-alcohol substance abuse (NAS) and depressive symptoms (DS), yet potential risk factors such as alcohol and intimate partner violence (IPV) are common and NAS abuse may be the rise. The aim of this study was to measure the burden of DS and NAS abuse, and determine whether alcohol use and IPV are associated with DS and/or NAS abuse. We conducted a cross-sectional study at five sites in …
Internalized HIV stigma, bullying, major depressive disorder, and high-risk suicidality among HIV-positive adolescents in rural Uganda
Among ALWH in rural Uganda, stigma and bullying are strongly associated with major depressive disorder and suicidality. There is a need to incorporate psychological interventions in the mainstream HIV care to address these challenges for optimal management of HIV among ALWH
