Clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with sickle cell disease at steady state in Uganda
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is associated with chronic systemic morbidity that extends beyond acute crises. However, data describing the clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with SCD at steady state in sub-Saharan Africa are limited. We described clinical and laboratory characteristics of adolescents and young adults with SCD at steady state in Uganda. We conducted a hospital-based cross-sectional study of 60 adol…
Experiences of nursing and medical students with the use of Artificial Intelligence tools such as ChatGPT in Uganda
Medical and nursing students widely use ChatGPT and other artificial intelligence (AI) for their educational and learning needs. However, there are concerns of misuse and abuse of AI tools in medical education. We explored the experiences of medical students with the use of ChatGPT and other AI tools in education. This was a qualitative descriptive study to explore experiences of medical students, including students of Bachelor of Medicine and Su…
‘ It is a complex process, but it’s very important to return these results to participants’ . Stakeholders’ perspectives on the ethical considerations for returning individual pharmacogenomics researc…
This study aimed to explore stakeholders’ perspectives on the ethical considerations for returning individual pharmacogenomics research results to people living with HIV. A qualitative approach to investigation involved five focus group discussions with 30 Community representatives, 12 key informant interviews with researchers, and 12 in-depth interviews with research ethics committee members. In total, 54 stakeholders who were involved in pharma…
Genetic and Genomic Researchers’ Perspectives on Biological Sample Sharing in Collaborative Research in Uganda
Numerous ethical, legal, and social issues arise with biological sample sharing. The study explored the perspectives of genetic and genomic researchers on the sharing of biological samples in international collaborative research. Qualitative in-depth interviews were conducted with 15 researchers. Participants expressed positive attitudes towards biobanking and appreciated the benefits of cross-border sharing of biological samples but noted that t…
Research Participants’ Preferences for Individual Results of Pharmacogenomics Research
Little is known about whether people living with HIV would like to receive their results from pharmacogenomics research. This study explored the factors influencing participants' preferences and the reasons for their desire to receive individual results from pharmacogenomics research. We employed a convergent parallel mixed methods study design comprising a survey of 225 research participants and 5 deliberative focus group discussions with 30 pur…
Understanding of Critical Elements of Informed Consent in Genomic Research
Several studies have reported inadequate comprehension of informed consent for genomic research. This study aimed to assess research participants' understanding of critical elements of informed consent for genomic research. A cross-sectional survey involving 123 parents/caregivers of children participating in a paediatric genomic TB/HIV study was conducted . Only 47.2% of the participants had adequate understanding of consent information. The mea…
The role of medical equipment in the spread of nosocomial infections
These results provides strong support for strengthening overall disinfection/sterilization practices around medical equipment use in public health facilities in Uganda. There's also need for further research to make a direct link to the bacterial isolates identified and cases of infections recorded among patients in similar settings
