Empowering Health Workers to Protect their Own Health: A Study of Enabling Factors and Barriers to Implementing HealthWise in Mozambique, South Africa, and Zimbabwe
Ways to address the increasing global health workforce shortage include improving the occupational health and safety of health workers, particularly those in high-risk, low-resource settings. The World Health Organization and International Labour Organization designed HealthWISE, a quality improvement tool to help health workers identify workplace hazards to find and apply low-cost solutions. However, its implementation had never been systematica…
An embodied exercise to address HIV- and tuberculosisrelated stigma of healthcare workers in Southern Africa
Healthcare workers (HCW) face the risk of occupational exposure to infectious diseases, especially in countries with high burdens of tuberculosis (TB) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Disclosure of TB and/or HIV status is needed to ensure prompt action and treatment, and, in the case of TB, prevent transmission to co-workers and patients. Traditional education and training has had limited impact. It is known that stigma plays a major role …
Implementation of shared decision-making in healthcare policy and practice: A complex adaptive systems perspective
Background: Despite the suggested benefits of shared decision-making (SDM), its implementation in policy and practice has been slow and inconsistent. Use of complex adaptive systems (CAS) theory may provide understanding of how healthcare system factors influence implementation of SDM. Methods: Using the example of choice of mode of birth after a previous caesarean section, in-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with patients, provid…

To date, much research has focused on individual health, with a paucity of attention to public health implications. This is a critical oversight owing to the potentially shared nature of the human microbiome across communities and vertical and horizontal mechanisms for transferring microbiomes among…
