Knowledge, acceptability, and attitudes regarding minimally invasive tissue sampling (Mits) techniques in Brazil
Determining cause of death is fundamental for health services to guide the formulation of appropriate public policies to reduce and prevent mortality. In Brazil, some deaths still do not have their underlying cause defined, and in these cases, performing a complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) is essential. However, there are challenges that hinder its performance, and in this scenario, minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) could be a promising a…
Covid-19 vaccine acceptance and uptake in Indonesia, Nepal, and Vietnam
Since 2019, the WHO has included vaccine hesitancy among the top ten threats to global health. Additionally, there is global disparity in vaccine availability and access. As part of a mixed methods study that explored COVID-19 vaccine acceptance and access across Indonesia, Nepal and Vietnam from December 2021 to June 2022, we conducted 67 in-depth interviews with purposively selected community members from both urban and rural settings. We used …
Perceptions of death, dying and the body in Vietnamese culture
Background: Perceptions of death and dying has been attracting more attention in recent years with more advocacy on improving the end-of-life experiences and providing more support for families during these times. While these topics are important, Western views about death and dying have been more dominant, leaving a knowledge gap in how death and dying are perceived in Asian cultures. We used qualitative methods to explore how death and dying wa…
Exploring leprosy perceptions in South Sulawesi, Indonesia
Leprosy-related stigma has a profound impact on affected individuals and their communities. Embedded within the MetLep trial of adjunctive metformin for multibacillary leprosy, we explored knowledge and perceptions of leprosy in endemic communities in Sulawesi, Indonesia. We conducted a mixed-methods cross-sectional study using interview-administered questionnaires and qualitative methods. Quantitative data were collected using the ‘NLR Perceptio…
High immunisation coverage but sporadic outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases
These findings implicate the need for tailoring public health and socioeconomic interventions to enhance vaccination opportunities in the marginalised groups
Social cohesion among healthcare workers during Covid-19
Existing literature has portrayed numerous challenges that healthcare workers (HCWs) faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as heightened risks of transmission against the scarcity of protective equipment, burgeoning workload, and emotional distress, to name a few. However, most studies explored HCWs' experiences at the individual level rather than examining the collective responses. Exploring these experiences could reveal the social-cultural …
Hypothetical acceptability of minimally invasive tissue sampling and considerations for practice
The exact aetiology of the cause of death (COD) remains unknown for a high proportion of deaths caused by infectious diseases. Complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) is considered the gold standard to determine COD, but it is often not used in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), including Vietnam, for a variety of reasons. One alternative is minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS). This study was part of a larger project to explore the perceptio…
Dilemmas of care
Antimicrobial resistance is a silent pandemic to cause an estimated ten million deaths by 2050. Self-medication with antibiotics in low- and middle-income countries has been identified as a driver of antibiotic resistance. Interventions targeting solely individual behaviour change around antibiotic practices are often unsuccessful as they fail to address socio-cultural and structural causes of the problem. Understanding the context of antibiotic …
Knowledge and attitudes toward complete diagnostic autopsy and minimally invasive autopsy
Knowing the cause of death (CoD) plays an important role in developing strategies and interventions to prevent early mortality. In Vietnam, the CoD of the majority of patients who acquired infectious diseases remains unknown. While there are challenges that hinder the use of complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) in practice, minimally invasive autopsy (MIA) might be a promising alternative to establish CoD in Vietnam. The current study aims to explor…
Conducting Social Science Research During Epidemics and Pandemics
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on how field-based research is being conducted globally. Given the challenges of undertaking fieldwork during epidemics and the need for mixed methods research to address the social, political, and economic issues related to epidemics, there is a small but growing body of evidence in this area. To contribute to the logistical and ethical considerations for conducting research during a pandemic, w…
Challenges and Lessons Learned in the Development of a Participatory Learning and Action Intervention to Tackle Antibiotic Resistance
Antibiotic use in the community for humans and animals is high in Vietnam, driven by easy access to over-the counter medicines and poor understanding of the role of antibiotics. This has contributed to antibiotic resistance levels that are amongst the highest in the world. To address this problem, we developed a participatory learning and action (PLA) intervention. Here we describe challenges and lessons learned while developing and testing this …
Mapping for Engagement
BACKGROUND: Approximately 1. 07 million people in Vietnam are infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV). To address this epidemic, the South East Asian Research Collaborative in Hepatitis (SEARCH) launched a 600-patient cohort study and two clinical trials, both investigating shortened treatment strategies for chronic HCV infection with direct-acting antiviral drugs. We conducted ethnographic research with a subset of trial participants and found tha…
Depression, anxiety, and stress among frontline health workers during the second wave of Covid-19 in southern Vietnam
Health workers around the world have taken on massive frontline roles in the fight against COVID-19, often under intense pressure and in the face of uncertainty. In this study, we determined the rates of depression, anxiety, stress and related factors among health workers in COVID-19 designated hospitals in southern Vietnam during the second wave of COVID-19. From July-September 2020, we collected self-administered surveys from 499 health workers…
Labouring’ on the frontlines of global health research
Drawing on the reflections and discussions from a special session at the 2021 Global Health Bioethics Network summer school, this paper has summarised the key challenges faced by Frontline Workers (FWs) across research sites in Africa and Asia in performing the everyday 'body work' entailed in operationalising global health research. Using a 'body work' lens, we specifically explore and map key challenges that FWs face in Africa and Asia and the …
Care seeking and treatment for hepatitis C infection in Rwanda
An estimated 71 million people live with hepatitis C virus (HCV) and without an effective vaccination, control efforts depend entirely on prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment with direct acting antiviral medication. The experiences of accessing care and treatment, as well as how HCV is locally perceived, are context specific and require an understanding of local epidemics. The objectives of this study were to explore the experiences and dem…
Informed consent, community engagement, and study participation at a research site in Kigali, Rwanda
People enroll in medical research for many reasons ranging from decisions regarding their own or family members' health situation to broader considerations including access to health and financial resources. In socially vulnerable communities the choice to participate is often based on a risk‐benefit assessment that goes beyond the medical aspects of the research, and considers the benefits received. In this qualitative study, we examined the mot…
