The IN-Fakt Study Protocol
Background: In the UK 1500 kidney transplants fail each year. 2% of living-donor transplants and 5% of deceased-donor transplants fail within a year of transplantation. Many decisions need to be made when a kidney transplant fails, including whether the transplant should be removed, and which immunosuppression medication should be stopped. There is limited evidence on which to base these decisions. We do not understand how decisions are made in t…
Uncertainty and Covid-19
As if writing prophetically about the global Covid-19 pandemic, in 1984 Eddy suggested, “Uncertainty creeps into medical practice through every pore. Whether a physician is defining a disease, making a diagnosis, selecting a procedure, observing outcomes, assessing probabilities, assigning preferences, or putting it all together, he (or she) is walking on very slippery terrain” 1. Covid-19 has rapidly become a disease associated with unbridled un…
Effect of participation in a randomised controlled trial of an integrated palliative care intervention on HIV-associated stigma
We conducted in Kenya a mixed-methods randomised controlled trial (RCT) of a nurse-led palliative care intervention integrated with anti-retroviral therapy (ART) provision for the management of HIV. Here we report qualitative findings showing increased resistance to HIV-associated stigma among trial participants. A mixed method design was chosen to enable identification of the active ingredients of the intervention and exploration of participants…
Conducting experimental research in marginalised populations
Experimental studies to test interventions for people living with HIV in low- and middle-income countries are essential to ensure appropriate and effective clinical care. The implications of study participation on outcome data in such populations have been discussed theoretically, but rarely empirically examined. We aimed to explore the effects of participating in a randomised controlled trial conducted in an HIV clinic in Mombasa, Kenya. We repo…
Measuring health-related quality of life in patients with conservatively managed stage 5 chronic kidney disease
This small study of patients with conservatively managed stage 5 CKD found that only the summary measures of SF-36 and 2 of its 8 scales can be used to assess changes in HRQoL over time. These findings suggest that in this population, alternative HRQoL assessment tools should be considered for future studies
Experience of persistent psychological symptoms and perceived stigma among people with HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART)
Stressors and Resources of Caregivers of Patients With Incurable Progressive Illness in Sub-Saharan Africa
Family caregivers are central to palliative care in sub-Saharan Africa. Yet although supporting caregivers requires a comprehensive understanding of caregiver burden, there has been little research into this topic in Africa. Using the Stress Process Model to investigate the burden experienced by caregivers in South Africa and Uganda, we interviewed 37 caregivers and analyzed the data thematically. Caregivers' primary stressors related to day-to-d…
