  • Diabetes mellitus and associated risk factors among HIV infected patients on Haart

    Open AccessLucy Kanyara, Rency Lel et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2024

    Understanding the impact of disease associations is becoming a priority in Kenya and other countries bearing the load of infectious diseases. With the increased incidences of non-communicable diseases and the endemicity of infectious diseases in Sub-Saharan Africa, their co-existence poses significant challenges to patients, health workers and an overwhelmed health sector. Classical risk factors for diabetes such as physical inactivity and unheal…

  • Sources of stress and coping mechanisms

    Open AccessMonica Getahun, Edwina N Oboke et al.ARTICLEPLOS Global Public Health2023

    The dynamic and complex nature of care provision predisposes healthcare workers to stress, including physical, emotional, or psychological fatigue due to individual, interpersonal, or organizational factors. We conducted a convergent mixed-methods study with maternity providers to understand their sources of stress and coping mechanisms they adopt. Data were collected in Migori County in western Kenya utilizing quantitative surveys with n = 101 m…

  • Caring for providers to improve patient experience (CPIPE)

    Open AccessPatience A Afulani, Edwina N Oboke et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2023

    A growing body of research has documented disrespectful, abusive, and neglectful treatment of women in facilities during childbirth, as well as the drivers of such mistreatment. Yet, little research exists on effective interventions to improve Person-Centred Maternal Care (PCMC)—care that is respectful and responsive to individual women's preferences, needs, and values. We sought to extend knowledge on interventions to improve PCMC, with a focus …

  • Perinatal care and breastfeeding education during the Covid‐19 pandemic

    Open AccessScott B Ickes, Hellen Lemein et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2023

    The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on breastfeeding (BF) practices in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) is not well understood. Modifications in BF guidelines and delivery platforms for breastfeeding education during the COVID-19 pandemic are hypothesised to have affected BF practices. We aimed to understand the experiences with perinatal care, BF education and practice among Kenyan mothers who delivered infants during the COVID-19 pandem…

  • Exclusive breastfeeding among working mothers in Kenya

    Open AccessScott B Ickes, Hannah Sanders et al.ARTICLEMaternal and Child Nutrition2021

    Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) for the first 6 months of life improves survival, growth and development. In Kenya, recent legislation and policies advocate for maternity leave and workplace support for breastfeeding and breast milk expression. We conducted a qualitative study to describe factors influencing EBF for 6 months among mothers employed in commercial agriculture and tourism. We interviewed employed mothers (n = 42), alternate caregivers …

  • Psychological and physiological stress and burnout among maternity providers in a rural county in Kenya

    Open AccessPatience A Afulani, Linnet Ongeri et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2021

    Most providers experienced moderate to high levels of stress and burnout. Individuals who were more driven to work excessively were particularly at risk for higher stress and burnout. Higher HRV of support staff and providers under age 30 suggest their more adaptive autonomic nervous system response to stress. Given its impact on provider wellbeing and quality of care, interventions to help providers manage stress are critical

  • Provider perceptions of lack of supportive care during childbirth

    Open AccessLaura Buback, Joyceline Kinyua et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2021

    Supportive care is a key component of person-centered maternity care (PCMC), and includes aspects such as timely and attentive care, pain control, and the health facility environment. Yet, few researchers have explored the degree of supportive care delivered or providers' perceptions on supportive care practices during childbirth. The researchers' aim is to evaluate the extent of supportive care provided to women during childbirth and to identify…
