Study on health seeking behaviour and determinants of undiagnosed hypertension in poor households in the Philippines, part of the Respond study (SHARP-Respond)
Hypertension is one of the leading preventable causes of premature death. Although it can be effectively managed with relatively simple interventions, up to 50% of individuals with hypertension in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) remain undiagnosed. Key factors influencing the health-seeking behaviour of patients with hypertension include household wealth, knowledge about hypertension, perceptions of treatment effectiveness, and access to…
Assessing Covid-19 pandemic’s impact on essential diabetes care in Manila, the Philippines: A mixed methods study
The COVID-19 pandemic directly increased mortality and morbidity globally. In addition, it has had extensive indirect ill effects on healthcare service delivery across health systems worldwide. We aimed to describe how patient access to diabetes care was affected by the pandemic in Manila, the Philippines. We used an explanatory, sequential mixed method approach including a cross-sectional survey (n = 150) and in-depth interviews of patients (n =…
Strong structuration analysis of patterns of adherence to hypertension medication
Achieving blood pressure control is among the highest priorities for reducing the burden of cardiovascular diseases globally. Control is poor in the Philippines, especially in socioeconomically marginalised communities. This paper explores long-term adherence to anti-hypertensive medication in these communities, identifying 4 distinct medication adherence patterns. We draw on Strong Structuration Theory to explore motivations of action for those …
(De)constructing 'therapeutic itineraries' of hypertension care: A qualitative study in the Philippines
Hypertension, a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases, remains poorly controlled in many countries. In the Philippines, it is still one of the leading causes of preventable deaths despite the accessibility and availability of essential technologies and medicine to detect and treat hypertension. This paper characterizes the 'therapeutic itineraries' of people with hypertension from poor communities in rural and urban settings in the Phil…
Participant Use of Digital Diaries in Qualitative Research: A Strong Structuration Analysis
Lived experiences of chronic conditions are marked by fluidity and change, which should be considered if care is to be truly patient-centered. Seeking to capture this fluidity, we used digital diaries via mobile phones to communicate with hypertensive patients in the Philippines over approximately 12 months. This paper draws on Strong Structuration Theory to conceptualize the complex array of factors shaping participants' usage (and non-usage) of…
Doing' hypertension: Experiential knowledge and practice in the self-management of 'high blood' in the Philippines
Patients' embodied experiences do not always correspond to the biomedical concepts of particular diseases. Drawing from year-long fieldwork in the Philippines that involved semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions and digital diaries, we examine how individuals 'do' hypertension through their embodied experiences and the knowledge and practice that emerge from them. Drawing inspiration from Annemarie Mol's work on the notion of 'multip…
Strengths and Weaknesses of Digital Diaries as a Means to Study Patient Pathways: Experiences With a Study of Hypertension in the Philippines
The rise of digital mobile communications has made possible novel research methods that can provide a better understanding of patients' experience of non-communicable diseases. This study explores the opportunities and challenges in employing 'digital diaries' via mobile phones to track the lived experiences of people with hypertension in the Philippines. Following in-depth interviews, 40 hypertensive adults were invited to submit digital diaries…
Enhancing the use of stakeholder analysis for policy implementation research: Towards a novel framing and operationalised measures
BACKGROUND: Policy is shaped and influenced by a diverse set of stakeholders at the global, national and local levels. While stakeholder analysis is a recognised practical tool to assess the positions and engagement of actors relevant to policy, few empirical studies provide details of how complex concepts such as power, interest and position are operationalised and assessed in these types of analyses. This study aims to address this gap by revie…
Nasa dugo (‘It’s in the blood’): Lay conceptions of hypertension in the Philippines
INTRODUCTION: Understanding explanatory models is important for hypertension, a leading risk factor for cardiovascular disease and stroke. This article aims to determine what adult patients with hypertension in the Philippines attribute their condition to, how these views might be explained and what the implications are for hypertension management. METHODS: This is a qualitative study drawing on 71 semistructured interviews (40 initial and 31 fol…
Wealth and cardiovascular health: A cross-sectional study of wealth-related inequalities in the awareness, treatment and control of hypertension in high-, middle- and low-income countries
Inequality in hypertension management outcomes decreased as countries became richer, but the considerable variation in patterns of wealth-related inequality - even among countries at similar levels of economic development - underscores the importance of health systems in improving hypertension management for all. These findings show that some, but not all, countries, including those with limited resources, have been able to achieve more equitable…
