Experiences of reintegration, relapse, and readmission
Introduction: Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD) is a significant public health concern in Uganda, with many patients experiencing relapses. Despite the implementation of various interventions and support services aimed at managing AUD, a substantial number of patients continue to experience relapses, resulting in frequent readmissions. These relapses and readmissions add additional strain to the already burdened healthcare system. Gaining insight into p…
The mediating effect of individual beliefs between self-testing knowledge and HIV self-testing use
Background : HIV self-testing has been introduced as a secondary mode of testing in most countries as a way of counteracting the barriers associated with the traditional clinic-based method of testing. As the entry point into the HIV care cascade, testing signifies a unique contribution in the fight to end HIV by 2030. However, in Uganda, the uptake of self-testing services remains contested, especially in low-skilled communities. Using the healt…
A workplace-based HIV self-testing intervention as a determinant for self-testing knowledge, beliefs, and use among unskilled workers in Wakiso Uganda
Efforts should be directed toward advocating for frequent knowledge sharing about self-testing such as this study has provided among unskilled working populations in Uganda. Organizations, alongside HIV testing implementing partners, should awaken people operating in risky environments and those engaging in risky sexual acts on the threat of succumbing to HIV as this greatly increases HIVST and repeat testing
The Lived Experiences of Unhealthy Alcohol Use among Young People with HIV in Southwestern Uganda
Unhealthy alcohol use among adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYAH), is common and poses risks to their health and social wellbeing. However, research that explores comorbid unhealthy drinking and HIV among AYAH is limited in Uganda. We conducted semi-structured in-depth interviews with 14 AYAH who self-reported current alcohol use, recruited from the adolescent immunosuppression (ISS) clinic of Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in S…
Adapting the comprehensive assessment of acceptance and commitment therapy processes (CompACT) questionnaire for contextual relevance in Uganda
The global utility of acceptance and commitment therapy highlights the need for adapting measures that can effectively capture the richness of psychological flexibility. One such instrument is the Comprehensive Assessment of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy Processes (CompACT). We translated the CompACT into Luganda and adapted it for use in Uganda. The original CompACT was translated into the Luganda language and reviewed through a series of ev…
Self-testing knowledge and beliefs on HIV self-testing use in central Uganda
The government of Uganda and its implementing partners have made significant investments in HIV self-testing (HST) services to reduce clinic-related barriers to HIV testing. However, although HSTs have been around for a reasonable time, their uptake, especially among unskilled working individuals, has remained suboptimal, which threatens the efforts to achieve the 95-95-95 UNAIDS goals to end HIV by 2030. This study set out to examine whether kno…
Culturally adapting a mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention to support the mental health of adolescents on antiretroviral therapy in Uganda
The dual burden of living with HIV and negotiating life stage changes has been identified as a contributing factor to lapsed adherence among adolescents with HIV in sub-Saharan Africa. While psychosocial support can promote medication adherence, most interventions in use with adolescents were originally developed for the general population creating a gap in appropriate support. Life-stage-appropriate, evidence-based psychosocial support intervent…
Serially mediated effects of psychological inflexibility on quality of life of refugees in Uganda during coronavirus pandemic
The unexpected outbreak and rapid spread of COVID-19 necessitated radical and stringent control measures, consequently changing how people live globally. To vulnerable populations like refugees, who were already living a disrupted life, the outbreak of COVID-19 and accompanying control measures complicated their living conditions and drastically affected their mental health and, consequently, their quality of life. The current study aimed to test…
Associations of psychological inflexibility with posttraumatic stress disorder and adherence to Covid-19 control measures among refugees in Uganda
Acceptability of an adapted mindfulness and acceptance-based intervention to support adolescents with HIV
While the adaptation of evidence-based psychosocial support tailors the intervention components to the targeted context, minimizing the associated costs of developing new interventions for low-income contexts, the acceptability of such adapted interventions is important for augmenting successful implementation and sustainability. Given that psychosocial support to persons living with HIV is mostly rendered by healthcare providers, their acceptanc…
