Appropriateness of digital vending machines and mobile phone applications in increasing access to HIV testing among adolescents and young people aged 18–24 in an urban community in Zambia
Determinants of disability three months after hospital discharge among patients with road traffic injuries at the university teaching hospital
The global community faces a significant disability burden from road traffic injuries (RTIs). This study investigated factors associated with disability three months after hospital discharge among patients with RTIs at the University Teaching Hospital, Lusaka, Zambia. We analysed secondary data from a prospective observational study, conducted between October 2021 and April 2022, of adults aged ≥ 18 with moderate-to-severe RTIs. Patients were con…
Exploring the barriers, facilitators, and opportunities to enhance uptake of sexual and reproductive health, HIV and GBV services among adolescent girls and young women in Zambia
The researchers acknowledge facilitators and opportunities that enhance the uptake of HIV, GBV, and SRH services. However, failure to address barriers at the individual and health systems level always negatively impacts the uptake of known and effective interventions. They propose that programme managers exploit the identified opportunities to enhance uptake of these services for the young population
Collaborative dynamics and shared motivation
In Zambia, efforts to produce a tobacco control policy have stalled for over a decade, and the country is not yet close to developing one. Limited studies have explored the dynamics in this policy process and how they affect the attainment of policy goals and outcomes. This study explored how collaborative dynamics within tobacco control policy development shaped shared motivation among stakeholders in Zambia. The study used a qualitative case st…
Applying community health systems lenses to identify determinants of access to surgery among mobile & migrant populations with hydrocele in Zambia
Hydrocele which is caused by long term lymphatic filariasis infection can be treated through the provision of surgery. Access to surgeries remains low particularly for hard to reach populations. This study applied community health system lenses to identify determinants to the adoption, implementation and integration of hydrocele surgeries among migrants &mobile populations in Luangwa District, Zambia. A concurrent mixed methods design consisting …
The role of principled engagement in public health policymaking
BACKGROUND: The Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) requires countries to develop and implement multi-sectoral tobacco control strategies, including policies and legislation. Zambia, potentially faced by a rising problem of tobacco smoking, signed the FCTC in 2008 but has been unable to enact a tobacco policy for over a decade. OBJECTIVE: This study explores the role of 'principled engagement', a key element of the theoretical framewor…
Motivation and retention of primary healthcare workers in rural health facilities
Rural areas have the greatest health needs and yet they face the largest shortage of human resources for health which negatively impacts health systems capacity to deliver quality care as they struggle to motivate and retain healthcare workers in such settings. This study explored factors that shape motivation and retention of primary healthcare workers in rural health facilities in Chipata and Chadiza Districts of Zambia using a phenomenological…
Sociodemographic factors associated with daily tobacco smoking and binge drinking among Zambians
This study shows huge differences between men and women regarding tobacco smoking and binge drinking in Zambia. A high occurrence of tobacco smoking was observed among men, older members of society and those with lower levels of education, while binge drinking was more common in men and in those living in urban areas. There is a need to reshape and refine preventive and control interventions for tobacco smoking and binge drinking to target the mo…
Mental health, coping and resilience among young men who have sex with men in Zambia
Current law in Zambia criminalises same-sex sexual contact while strong socio-cultural values drive a profoundly negative view of the moral status of gender and sexual minorities. Despite this, Zambia's national HIV programme has recently identified the predominantly young population of men who have sex with men as a priority group for HIV and other sexual health programming. Research in other African settings has shown how the sexual health of t…
