Healthcare professionals' challenges and solutions in providing palliative care to patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Palliative care significantly improves the quality of life for individuals with advanced chronic diseases. However, access in Malaysia remains limited, particularly for patients with non-malignant conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Here, we discuss the barriers and solutions identified through a nine hour in-person stakeholder workshop to co-develop practical initiatives for integrating palliative care into the manag…
Development of a clinical algorithm-based scoring system to diagnose smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis in Sabah, Malaysia using the modified Delphi method
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major global health threat, particularly in resource-constrained settings where delayed diagnosis of smear-negative pulmonary TB (SNPTB) is common due to limited access to rapid molecular diagnostics. We aimed to develop a clinical algorithm-based scoring system to aid the diagnosis of SNPTB among symptomatic patients in Sabah, Malaysia. Methods: We conducted a modified Delphi process between January and Ju…
Stakeholder engagement champions
Stakeholder engagement is increasingly required by global health funders as a means to enhance research impact and bridge the gap between knowledge generation and its application in local health systems. However, global health researchers often face structural and operational barriers that limit meaningful stakeholder engagement. We present a practical model developed by a global respiratory health research programme implemented in four low- and …
Scaling digital health in low- and middle-income countries
The COVID-19 pandemic catalysed the development of digital health interventions across the globe, including low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) such as Malaysia. However, moving from pockets of innovation to sustainable implementation at scale remains a major challenge. This viewpoint presents insights from a digital health training programme using a multi-stakeholder engagement series convened by the National Institute for Health and Care R…
Exploring the disease experience and supportive care for people with very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in Malaysia
Background: In Malaysia, palliative services are almost non-existent for those with severe organ failure such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Access to palliative care services and awareness among the public and healthcare professionals remain low. While recognised as important in high income settings, the literature on palliative care for non-malignant disease is relatively uncommon in low- and middle-income countries, and none …
Barriers and enablers to centre-based pulmonary rehabilitation for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in low- and middle-income countries
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite the proven benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) for patients with COPD, its referral, uptake, and completion rates remain low. This systematic review aimed to identify the barriers and enablers to centre-based PR among patients with COPD in LMICs. Methods: We searched PubMed, Web of Scien…
Qualitative research influencing guideline and policy
Clinical and health guidelines are important documents that support health care providers, patients, and organisations by recommending models of care for daily practice. They are developed based on scientific evidence, yet their implementation (especially for guidelines on complex interventions) needs to take local context into consideration [1]. Specifically, these guidelines are typically based on evidence [...]
Developing a home-based pulmonary rehabilitation programme for patients with chronic respiratory diseases in Malaysia
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of remote healthcare and home-based interventions, including pulmonary rehabilitation, for patients with chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs). It has also heightened the vulnerability of individuals with underlying respiratory conditions to severe illness from COVID-19, necessitating exploration and assessment of the feasibility of delivering home - pulmonary rehabilitation (home-PR)…
Pulmonary rehabilitation capacity building through a teach-the-teacher programme
CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASES AND PULMONARY REHABILITATION Chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are a leading cause of death and hospitalisation in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) [1], with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) being a major contributor to work productivity loss [2]. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR) is a low-cost therapy that improves symptoms, quality of life, and exercise [...]
Sustaining stakeholder engagement for health research during the Covid-19 pandemic
Governments worldwide responded to the continual waves of the COVID-19 pandemic with unprecedented measures ranging from social distancing and cancellation of public events to border restrictions and complete closure of all but essential services [1]. Health research studies were suspended, becoming casualties of COVID-19-related lockdowns and distancing policies [2]. Engaging and involving stakeholders including patients, [...]
Barriers and challenges of implementing pulmonary rehabilitation in Malaysia
lobally, chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) are one of the most common non-communicable diseases. Of these, asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are the most prevalent, and post-tuberculosis lung disorders, bronchiectasis and interstitial lung disease are growing problems especially in developing countries By 2030, CRD mortality rate is expected to rise to 8.6%, making it the world's third leading cause of death [2]. Between 1…
