Yummy or crummy?’ The multisensory components of medicines-taking among HIV-positive youth
The global rollout of Antiretroviral Treatment (ART) has revealed an urgent need to understand the medicines-taking practices of HIV-positive adolescents. In the last decade, the literature on the social determinants of health has broadened the evidence-base on ART adherence. Interdisciplinary studies have expanded conceptions of medicines-taking beyond clinical or health systems frameworks, recognising the importance of socio-structural conditio…
Understanding the medicines information‐seeking behaviour and information needs of S outh A frican long‐term patients with limited literacy skills
BACKGROUND: Although much health information-seeking behaviour (HISB) research has been reported in patients with good literacy skills, little is known about HISB in patients with limited literacy skills served by under-resourced health-care systems. OBJECTIVE: To investigate medicine information-seeking behaviour and information needs in patients with limited literacy. METHODS: Using a question guide, four focus group discussions (FGDs) were con…
Simple, illustrated medicines information improves ARV knowledge and patient self-efficacy in limited literacy South African HIV patients
Few studies have investigated antiretroviral (ARV) knowledge and self-efficacy in limited literacy patients. Using a randomized controlled study design, we investigated the influence of a simple pre-tested patient information leaflet (PIL) containing both text and illustrations on HIV- and ARV-related knowledge and on self-efficacy over six months in a limited literacy African population. The recruited patients were randomly allocated to either c…
Developing visual images for communicating information aboutantiretroviral side effects to a low-literate population
The side effects of antiretroviral (ARV) therapy are linked to altered quality of life and adherence. Poor adherence has also been associated with low health-literacy skills, with an uninformed patient more likely to make ARV-related decisions that compromise the efficacy of the treatment. Low literacy skills disempower patients in interactions with healthcare providers and preclude the use of existing written patient information materials, which…
