Effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions delivered in clinical settings in South Asia
Background Despite the burden of tobacco use, access to cessation support in South Asia remains scarce.Objective This review evaluates the effectiveness of tobacco cessation interventions delivered in clinical settings in South Asia.Methods Five relevant databases were searched from inception to February 2025. Eligibility criteria included randomized and non-randomized studies evaluating behavioral, pharmacotherapy, and multicomponent interventio…
Fostering deliberation and action in context
Strengthening health systems through workforce development is central to combating health crises and inequalities in some of the world's poorest countries and is a key objective for implementation research (IR). Workforce development programmes often include blended and online modalities, offering the means to reach relevant communities at scale, removing barriers in accessing lifelong learning opportunities. However, approaches that privilege is…
Prevalence and types of lower limb conditions in Nepal
Background Understanding the burden of lower limb conditions (LLCs) is essential for effective health planning, yet data in low-resource settings like Nepal is scarce. LLCs, encompassing diverse issues such as pain, injuries and amputations, can profoundly impact mobility, well-being, and livelihoods. With limited healthcare access and growing non-communicable diseases, the scale and impact of LLCs in Nepal remain unknown. This study estimates th…
Co-creating community engagement and involvement strategies
Living with multiple long-term conditions (MLTCs) presents significant healthcare and patient-level challenges, which are further compounded by fragmented and poorly coordinated healthcare systems, leading to difficulties in access, dissatisfaction with quality of services, non-engagement with treatment protocols and poor outcomes. Overcoming these barriers requires a strong and equitable primary healthcare system that prioritises people-centred …
Overweight, obesity and physical inactivity among women of reproductive age in Eastern Nepal
Overweight, obesity, and physical inactivity have become more common in Nepal. The prevalence of overweight/obesity is higher among women than men, while the prevalence of physical activity is not well studied. This study aimed to understand the prevalence of overweight/obesity and physical inactivity among women of reproductive age in Eastern Nepal. We conducted a community-based cross-sectional study among women of reproductive age (18-49 years…
Physical activity and its correlates among school teachers in a semi-urban district of Nepal
Regular physical activity (PA) is one of the effective strategies for mitigating non-communicable diseases, promoting healthy ageing, and preventing premature mortality. In South Asia, up to 34.0% of adults are insufficiently active, and up to 44.1% of adults in Nepal. We sought to assess self-reported PA status and its correlates among teachers in the semi-urban district of Nepal. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted among teachers …
Barriers and facilitators for treatment and control of high blood pressure among hypertensive patients in Kathmandu, Nepal
This formative study, using the COM-B model of behaviour change identified several known and unknown barriers and facilitators that influence poor control of blood pressure among people diagnosed with hypertension in Kathmandu, Nepal. These findings need to be considered when developing targeted interventions to improve treatment adherence and blood pressure control of hypertensive patients
The role of tobacco and alcohol use in the interaction of social determinants of non-communicable diseases in Nepal
Tobacco and alcohol use facilitated interaction of the social determinants of NCDs in the context of Nepal. Socio-economic status of families was both driver and outcome of tobacco and alcohol use. Health system actions to prevent NCDs were delayed mainly due to lack of system insights and commercial influence. A multi-sectoral response led by the health system is urgently needed
Effectiveness of health promotion regarding diet and physical activity among Nepalese mothers and their young children
Background: Nepal, like many low- and middle-income countries, exhibits rising burden of cardiovascular diseases. Misconceptions, poor behavior, and a high prevalence of risk factors contribute to this development. Health promotion efforts along with primary prevention strategies, including risk factor reduction in both adults and children, are therefore critical.Objectives: This study assessed the effectiveness of a health promotion intervention…
Diabetes management training for female community health volunteers in Western Nepal
If FCHVs are appropriately trained they may be instrumental in providing counseling and screening for diabetes management in their communities
Pesticide poisoning in Chitwan, Nepal
This study has indicated that young adults, females and socially disadvantaged ethnic groups are at a higher risk of pesticides poisoning. Pesticides are mostly misused intentionally as an easy means for committing suicide. It is recommended that the supply of pesticides be properly regulated to prevent easy accessibility and misuse. A population-based study is warranted to reveal the actual problem of pesticides exposure and intoxication in the …
Jhaukhel-Duwakot Health Demographic Surveillance Site, Nepal
BACKGROUND: Estimates of disease burden in Nepal are based on cross-sectional studies that provide inadequate epidemiological information to support public health decisions. This study compares the health and demographic indicators at the end of 2012 in the Jhaukhel-Duwakot Health Demographic Surveillance Site (JD-HDSS) with the baseline conducted at the end of 2010. We also report on the use of skilled birth attendants (SBAs) and associated fact…
Experiences and perceptions about cause and prevention of cardiovascular disease among people with cardiometabolic conditions
BACKGROUND: Nepal currently faces an increasing burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Earlier studies on health literacy and the behavior dimension of cardiovascular health reported a substantial gap between knowledge and practice. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study aimed to deepen understanding of the community perspective on cardiovascular health from the patients' viewpoint. DESIGN: We conducted in-depth interviews (IDIs) with 13 individuals …
Obesity Prevalence in Nepal
The future toll of the obesity epidemic will likely hit hardest in low- and middle-income countries. Ongoing urbanization promotes risk factors including sedentary lifestyle and fat- and sugar-laden diets. Low-income countries like Nepal experience a double disease burden: infectious diseases as well as rising incidence of noncommunicable diseases (e.g., cardiovascular disease and diabetes mellitus) frequently characterized by obesity. Nepal curr…
Death Anxiety as a Personality Dimension of Alcoholics and Non-Alcoholics
Walton (8) reported that personality type determines the form of alcoholism exhibited after finding that gamma (loss of control) and delta (inability to abstain) drinkers scored differenrly o n various personality measures. Subsequent investigators also have reported that gamma and delta alcoholics can be differentiated from non-alcoholics o n various personality dimensions, including anxiery ( 2 ) , depression ( 7 ) , selfesteem (2, 3 ) , and lo…
