Full textCommunity health workers (CHWs) are integral to improve Primary health care (PHC) coverage, utilising their unique skills within the community to make services accessible and equitable. PHC is the cornerstone of the National Health Insurance (NHI) Bill for the provision of Universal Health Care (UHC). The Department of Health (DOH) in the Western Cape, South Africa, has set priorities and requirements for the provision of funding to Non-profit organisations (NPOs) for forming coalitions with the Health Department to deliver various aspects of health care. The post-2015 agenda of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are underscored by a strong sense of intersectoral collaboration to work together to attain sufficient and sustainable progress. Collaboration between CHWs and PHC facilities is important in aligning goals and activities to ensure a comprehensive and sustainable approach to ensuring UHC

Full textPrimary Health Care (PHC) is the cornerstone of health care globally, nationally and locally and, therefore, should be regarded as the foundation of health care provision. In South Africa, Community Day Clinics (CDCs) are part of the bouquet of services that is being offered at a PHC level. There are various factors that generate inconsistency in the provision of care to people accessing these CDCs. The purpose of this study was to identify and explore how these factors impact on the care practices that health care professional’s provide. Research suggests that the majority of health care workers are women, who play a double role as carers in their professional and private lives. Therefore, the political ethics of care, a feminist theoretical approach, was utilized to understand care practices in these health settings. The aim of the study was to develop an in-depth understanding of the care practices of health care workers at two CDC facilities on the Cape Flats. A qualitative research methodology was used to explore and identify the phenomenon under study. The research project followed an explorative and descriptive research design, as the researcher sought to understand the care practices of health care workers and how their values and ethics further influenced care practices at these two CDC settings. The data was gathered using semi-structured one-on-one interviews, and later analysed using qualitative thematic analysis. The research findings were grouped in terms of the values entrenched in the political ethics ofcare, which are attentiveness, responsibility, competence, responsiveness and trust. The research findings identified various aspects that, either negatively or positively, impact on these values. Finally, recommendations were made to management, as well as care workers. These recommendations were in terms of implementing care services that are attentive to service-users and care-workers; providing a service that takes into consideration the value of responsibility; the provision of competent services; and finally creating trusting relationships within the CDC.

Full textThe evolution of the South African health system has been characterised by inequities, imbalances as well as fragmentation. The unification of South Africa in 1910 did not consolidate public health administration, which was characterised by increasing institutionalisation, professionalism and organisation. This was the status-quo up until after 1990, whereby there were marked efforts and endeavours to effect defragmentation. In the context of the dramatic political changes that the country has seen over recent years, many aspects of local health care have been upgraded. Issues such as policy making and planning, the development of human resources and training for health care and the establishment of health systems and structures requires a different approach from the previous. Effective human resources development and management in consultation with communities, can contribute towards improvement of service delivery around health issues. Personnel matters and skills development should be considered in the exercise to boost employee morale and job satisfaction. The challenge facing South Africa has been to design a comprehensive programme to redress social and economic injustices, to eradicate poverty, increase efficiency and reduce waste. In the health sector this has been ongoing to involve the complete transformation of the national health care delivery system and the relevant institutions. Health care workers jointly, require the right skills, knowledge and expertise with attitude in their duties and obligation to serve the community.

Full textPeople with disabilities (PWD) often come from disadvantaged communities and struggle to access health and rehabilitation, education and employment. This leads to poorer health outcomes, lower education achievements, and higher rate of unemployment in comparison to people without disabilities. Therefore there is a need to empower PWD to remove all barriers which prevent them from participating in all aspects of their communities. In South Africa, 5% of the population is disabled and in a worldwide review conducted on access to rehabilitation services, it was reported that South Africa provided 21% to 40% of the disabled population with rehabilitation services. In 2012 the Department of Health (DOH) trained a new cadre of community health worker (CHW) in the field of rehabilitation in order to improve PWDs‘ access to health services. As a result, health professionals in the Western Cape became concerned about the role of this new cadre of rehabilitation care worker in PHC and CBS. The aim of this study was therefore to explore health professionals‘ perceptions of the newly trained rehabilitation care workers (RCWs). Q methodology was selected as an appropriate research design to meet the objectives of this study as it can be used to analyse opinions, perceptions and attitudes. The study population consisted of all the health professionals who engaged with the RCWs in the clinical workplace during their clinical practice module. A convenient sample of sixteen health professionals participated in this study. Ethics approval was obtained to conduct this study and all participants gave written consent to participate in this study. The researcher gathered all the viewpoints of the health professionals regarding the new rehabilitation care workers (RCWs) by conducting focus group discussions and document analysis. Statements were then drawn up based on the health professionals' viewpoints. The participants then ranked these statements from strongly agree to strongly disagree on a Q data score grid, in a process called Q sorting. The completed Q data score grids, called Q sorts, were then entered into PQMethod software programme for statistical and factor analysis. From the results of this Q analysis, two factors emerged which were analysed and interpreted. A factor is representative of participants with similar opinions. The participants loading onto Factor one and Factor two shared similar opinions of the RCWs. The results indicated that the participants were of the opinion that RCWs‘ role would be to strengthen primary health care (PHC) and community-based rehabilitation (CBR) and promote the participation of PWD in society. The results suggested that the RCWs were capable of improving the quality of life of PWD by empowering PWD to become actively involved in all aspects of community life. The participants felt that the RCWs would be included in the health system by working at intermediate care centres (facility-based) and in the community (home-based). However, the participants agreed that the RCWs must work under the direct supervision of qualified health professionals. Participants loading onto Factor one and Factor two further agreed that RCWs worked well in the structured environment of intermediate care health facilities. They felt that it would be beneficial for RCWs to be employed at these health facilities as the RCWs reduced the workload of the health professionals. From the results, it was also found that health professionals were of the opinion that the RCWs displayed positive attitudes and good professional behaviour in the clinical environment. Health professionals however identified gaps in the knowledge of the RCWs and a lack of skills to perform certain tasks. However, health professionals agreed that the RCWs' skills will develop and improve with time and exposure. This study showed that health professionals had positive perceptions of the RCWs and this could indicate that RCWs will be well accepted by health professionals as part of the PHC team. This could lead to the effective utilisation of RCWs in community-based rehabilitation. Recommendations can be made to the developers and implementers of the RCW training curriculum to make adjustments to the curriculum so as to address the lack of knowledge and skills in certain aspects of health and disability. It can further be recommended that South Africa's National DOH capitalise on these positive perceptions and train more RCWs to extend rehabilitation and health services to more underserved communities. This will assist the South African Government in ensuring that more PWD receive rehabilitation and become included in all aspects of their communities as is envisaged in the 2020/2030 health plan.

Full textWomen are the principle providers of their families when it comes to issues of health care, even though their health needs and efforts are neglected. The contributions that they make to health development seem to be undervalued, and their working conditions ignored. Societies depend heavily on women as role players in the welfare of their families and of national economics together with their physical well-being which determines the ability to be productive. The study has provided an overview of the experiences of women concerning primary health care and the quality of service in Nolungile PHC Khayelitsha, Cape Town. Primary health care (PHC) forms an integral part both of the country‘s health system and the overall social and economic development of the community. Central to the PHC approach is full community participation in the planning, provision, control and monitoring of services. Priority has to be given to the improvement of women‘s social and economic status.A much neglected perspective in health issues is that, a number of questions arise from the provision of PHC. Does PHC rely on the contribution of women and if so, why women? Women in their communities have joined their hands together as community health workers, educating community members on issues of health. The study has provided an insight of the work that women are doing in their communities, and how do they give meaning to their experiences in PHC. The study also answered questions that raise fundamental issues on gender stereotyping and disparities in PHC. The study gave me an opportunity to work closely with the women while observing the challenges that they are facing and how to they overcome them in the daily lives.Changes are called towards the attitudes of health care providers working in the formal and nonformal sectors. The provision of health education for women ultimately empowers them as health educators for the community.

Full textThe question of treatment adherence remains a concern that affects the health outcomes of patients attending public health clinics in South Africa. Patients with chronic illnesses who reside in impoverished communities face particular challenges in terms of managing the often complex aspects of their treatment. The sample for the study was selected from patients diagnosed with diabetes or hypertension attending public health clinics in the Boland area of the Western Cape. A total of 23 patients between the ages of 32 and 80 participated in the study. All participants were Afrikaans-speaking had been classified as Black or "Coloured" under the apartheid system and as such were all historically disadvantaged. Participants were selected by means of convenience sampling and were asked to participate in qualitative interviews under confidential conditions. The interviews addressed various aspects of the participants' experience of their illness and treatment and were conducted by two trained interviewers. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and entered into Atlas.ti, a computer programme that assists in the analysis of textual data. The analysis of the data focused on the content of participants' concerns and difficulties associated with adhering to treatment recommendations. The themes that emerged from the study included participants' attribution of the origin of their illness, their experience of their illness and of the health care system, their own concerns about the consequences of poor adherence, financial and problems, psychosocial support, spirituality, alternative medicine, and patients' own understanding of the symptoms of poor adherence. The results of the study are discussed in terms of the often hierarchical relationship between health care workers and patients. Public health care workers often hold sceptical and suspicious views about their patients regarding their illness, symptoms, and level of adherence. As such, patients may be regarded in a paternalistic manner and in some cases even be admonished by health care workers for poor adherence. Yet, competing social realities often inhibit patient adherence. These include financial constraints, being labelled a patient, side effects of medication and family opposition to treatment. Adherence may also be related to the notion of responsibility for the causes of and solutions to medical problems. The results of the study were considered in terms of four models of attribution of responsibility for the origin of and solution to the medical problem as identified by Brickman, Rabinovits, Karuza, Coates, Cohn, and Kidder (1982). These models are the moral model, the compensatory model, the medical model, and the enlightenment model. The medical model is the most dominant in the South African public health system. Yet, in many instances, participants appeared to adopt other models of engaging with the causes and solutions to their illness conditions. The question of participants' understanding of the consequences of adherence is discussed in terms of the theoretical work by Pepper's (1942), who proposed four possible perspectives with which people may view the world. These world-views are formism, mechanism, contextualism, and organicism. In many instances adherence as a means of controlling somatic symptoms occurs as part of a logical and mechanistic understanding of health. However, in terms of an organismic worldview, adherence may represent an effort to restore equilibrium to the patient's constitution that has spiralled into disequilibrium as a result of disease.
