Bridging gaps in community cancer care
BACKGROUND: Despite the rising cancer burden in Soweto, South Africa and the recognized role of Traditional Health Practitioners (THPs) in the pluralistic health system, their role in cancer care remains underexplored. This study provides novel insights into THPs' understanding of cancer and their potential contribution to community awareness and early detection within complex sociocultural and health system contexts. OBJECTIVE: To explore THPs p…
Experiences of family caregivers caring for cancer patients at home
The rising global cancer incidence and mortality rates increase burden for family caregivers of patients at home. Much research reflects Western-centric views, overlooking cultural, relational, and structural contexts worldwide. We compared experiences of family caregivers in high-income countries (HICs) and low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) through a qualitative systematic review using JBI methodology. We searched eight databases and scre…
Capacity to care
Timely breast cancer care remains challenging in South Africa, where both health-system and patient-level barriers contribute to delayed diagnosis and treatment. This study explored healthcare providers' experiences and perspectives on breast cancer care at Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital in Soweto and its two referring secondary hospitals in Johannesburg. Using a cross-sectional qualitative design informed by phenomenology, we conducted…
A qualitative study to explore healthcare providers’ perspectives on barriers and enablers to early detection of breast and cervical cancers among women attending primary healthcare clinics in Johanne…
Low-and-middle income countries (LMICs) contribute approximately 70% of global cancer deaths, and the cancer incidence in these countries is rapidly increasing. Sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries, including South Africa (SA), bear some of the world’s highest cancer case fatality rates, largely attributed to late diagnosis. We explored contextual enablers and barriers for early detection of breast and cervical cancers according to facility manage…
