Well-being and quality of life of Kenyan nurses, midwives and community health volunteers
Healthcare workers’ quality of life (QoL) and well-being is directly linked to the quality of services they deliver.

Implementing routine provider-initiated HIV testing in public health care facilities in Kenya
Routine "provider-initiated testing and counselling" (PITC) for HIV has been implemented amidst concern over how consent, confidentiality and counselling (the 3Cs) can be maintained in under-resourced health care settings. In Kenya, PITC has been rolled out since 2005, HIV prevalence is 7.1% and more than 86% of adults have not been tested. Kenyan nurses are the main cadre implementing PITC, but little is known about their experiences of incorpor…
