‘It all depends on your faith’
Despite biomedical explanations for diseases being increasingly accepted in sub-Saharan Africa, traditional African explanatory models of illness remain widespread. This study sought to understand local explanatory models for illness and patient experiences with different traditional health practitioners (THPs) among a population of rural women in Limpopo, South Africa. This was a cross-sectional qualitative study in which eighty-two in-depth int…
Traditional beliefs and practices surrounding pregnancy loss in Limpopo Province, South Africa
South Africa has a diversity of traditional beliefs and practices within its existing sub-cultures which include complex belief patterns around women's sexual and reproductive health, including pregnancy loss (i.e. abortion or miscarriage). Causes of pregnancy loss among the different cultures can be attributed broadly to ancestors, bewitchment, and ritual pollution. However, of these factors, ritual pollution has not been adequately researched. …
Religious and Medical Pluralism Among Traditional Healers in Johannesburg, South Africa
Religion and spirituality are powerful social forces in contemporary South Africa. Traditional Health Practitioners (THPs) are commonly consulted for both spiritual and medical ailments as a first line of care. Many studies have assessed African traditional health seeking behaviors but few have examined beliefs, practices, and behaviors of THPs themselves. This study sought to explore spiritual worldviews among South African THPs. Semi-structured…
Adopting sustainable innovations for remote access to TB and HIV care in South Africa
For the last decade, South Africa has made substantial progress to control the dual HIV and TB epidemics. However, disruptions in TB and HIV treatment during the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to reverse this. This study aimed to identify adaptations in HIV and TB service delivery models in response to COVID-19 and government restrictions. This information informed the development of an online survey, which was utilized as part of a consultation ex…
Maladi Nanm, Maladi Zonbi, & Maladi Lalin
Cultural Concepts of Distress (CCDs) are culturally constructed diagnostic categories that exist within a specific society or culture. While several studies have assessed CCDs around the world, few studies have examined them in Haiti. This qualitative study examines manifestations of anxiety and depression via 'sent spirits' in the form of maladi nanm ('Soul disorder') and maladi zonbi ('Zombie disorder'), and bipolar disorder in the form of mala…
Determinants of mental illness and care seeking behaviours in Northern Haiti
Populations in countries such as Haiti demonstrate a high level of need for mental health care despite a lack of services and trained professionals. In addition to the dearth of biomedical services, local belief systems and explanatory models contribute to a majority of the population relying on traditional medicine as their first option for care. Using a mixed-methods approach, we aim to characterise mental illness at the first mental health cli…
Pathways to care among patients with mental illness at two psychiatric facilities in Johannesburg, South Africa
BACKGROUND: A patient's pathway to care is often characterized by a sequence of actions taken to remedy ill-health. Research exploring the help-seeking behavior of individuals with mental health problems in sub-Saharan Africa is relatively limited. This study assessed the perceptions and experiences of mental illness and treatment among patients with mental illness at two psychiatric facilities in Johannesburg, South Africa. METHODS: 309 intervie…
Examining the Etiology and Treatment of Mental Illness Among Vodou Priests in Northern Haiti
Perceptions of causes and treatment of mental illness among traditional health practitioners in Johannesburg, South Africa
Mental disorders are among the most poorly treated illnesses in sub-Saharan Africa. It is estimated that 70%–80% of South Africans consult traditional health practitioners for the treatment of psychological ailments. As traditional health practitioners maintain a strong role in assessing and treating patients with mental illness in this context, this study contributes to the burgeoning research literature on the topic. Semi-structured in-depth in…
Construct validation of measures of depression, anxiety, and functionality in Northern Haiti
Mental illness represents an increasing burden of disease and disability in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). With high levels of poverty, violence, and natural disasters, the population of Haiti is confronted with significant mental health challenges. In spite of this, few validated and culturally adapted tools exist to measure mental distress in Haitian Creole (Kreyòl). This study applied exploratory factor analysis to examine the facto…
Localizing syndemics
A Haitian-led mental health treatment center in Northern Haiti
Low-income countries suffer from a large gap between the burden of mental illness and access to treatment. In the Americas, no country exemplifies this disparity as much as Haiti, where services outside the capital remain virtually nonexistent. Started in 2016, the Mental Health Center at Morne Pelé (SSMMP in Krèyol) was established as the first mental health treatment facility in all of northern Haiti. With more than 3,000 patients treated since…
Social Enterprise and Development
Referred to as change agents, innovators, practical dreamers, and pioneers of our era, the literature on social entrepreneurs exhibits high hopes for the future of social enterprise in international development. Yet, the field has come to a crossroads in its history as many remain unsure of just how social enterprise differs from NGOs on the one hand, and standard commercial enterprises on the other. This article examines the relatively new roots…
