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…
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…
Healthcare workers’ perspective about barriers and facilitators to pediatric HIV status disclosure in eastern Uganda using capability opportunity and motivation of behavior change model
HIV status disclosure by caregivers to children and adolescents living with HIV (CALH) remains a public health concern in countries with a high burden of HIV despite guidelines for healthcare workers (HCWs) to facilitate the process. This study explored barriers and facilitators to HIV disclosure at two referral hospitals in eastern Uganda focusing on the utilization of existing guidelines. In-depth qualitative interviews were conducted among all…
Lived experiences and coping mechanisms among children and adolescents living with HIV after HIV disclosure in Eastern Uganda
PURPOSE: To understand the experiences and coping mechanisms of children and adolescents living with HIV (CALH) after HIV disclosure. METHODS: We conducted a qualitative study among CALH after HIV disclosure receiving care from two referral hospitals in eastern Uganda. In-depth interviews were conducted using an interview guide during routine outpatient visits to HIV clinics until data saturation was achieved. All interviews were audiotaped, and …
Influence of education status, age, and gender on HIV prevention awareness and preferences among youth in a rural Ugandan district
Education status, age, and gender influence HIV prevention awareness through differences in access to information, risk perception, and preference of prevention methods among youth in rural Uganda. Therefore, aligning HIV prevention strategies with the specific needs and preferences of different youth subgroups can enhance awareness, risk perception, and utilization of HIV prevention methods
“If you find that I am HIV positive, don’t tell me”
Globally, the majority of new HIV infections are recorded in Eastern and Southern Africa, with the youth being disproportionately affected. HIV prevention is the cornerstone of controlling the spread of HIV and ending this epidemic by 2030. However, barriers to the utilization of HIV prevention services remained underexplored especially among the youth in rural settings in sub-Saharan Africa. This qualitative study, conducted between February and…
Coping strategies, challenges and potential interventions among adult patients with HIV and mental illness comorbidity in southwestern Uganda
HIV and mental illness comorbidity presents significant healthcare challenges, especially in low- and middle-income countries where healthcare systems often address individual conditions rather than comorbidities. This results in poor coping, increased vulnerability and diminished health-related quality of life. This study investigated coping strategies, challenges and potential interventions for individuals with HIV-mental illness comorbidity in…
Cognitive impairment following traumatic brain injury in Uganda
Background As the burden of dementia continues to rise in sub-Saharan Africa, it is crucial to develop an evidence base for potentially modifiable risk factors such as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). Cognitive impairment may result from TBI and since it is an established prodromal form of dementia, we investigated the burden of cognitive impairment and associated factors in persons with a history of TBI in southwestern Uganda. Methods This was a co…
A qualitative investigation of the psychosocial services utilised by care-givers of patients with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in southwestern Uganda
Individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias often require substantial support from other people. Much of the care-giving is from family members who eventually experience physical, emotional and financial stress, depression and fatigue. In Uganda, families are a cornerstone in providing care to individuals with dementia. However, little is known about the psychosocial supports available to the care-givers in their care-giving role. …
