Community health workers (CHWs) play an important role in health care in South Africa and similar countries, but relatively little is known about CHW motivations and experiences in the provision of care. This thesis considers these issues in three parts: 1. A protocol for a study of community health work in Khayelitsha, an impoverished peri-urban settlement near Cape Town, which is home to a number of ‘flagship’ public health interventions aimed at HIV/AIDS and TB. 2. A review of literature on community health work exploring naturalistic versus economistic discourses around care work, and the complex intersections of these discourses. 3. An ethnographic account of CHWs who provide a wide range of community-based care work in Khayelitsha.

Texto completoChemical hazard communication is intended to alert users of the potential hazards of chemicals. Apart from the fact that hazard information should be understood, it is also important that it should be recalled. Recall of hazard communication is critical when the written form of the information is not available at the time it is required. A cross-sectional study investigating predictors of the recall of chemical safety information on labels and safety data sheets amongst 315 workers (industry, transport and agriculture sectors) and 87 consumers in two provinces of South Africa was conducted. The recall of participants was tested using two modules (module 2 which relates to the demographics, and module 3 which relates to the recall of the participants) from the Hazard Communication Comprehensibility Testing (CT) Tool developed by the Centre for Environmental and Occupational Health at the University of Cape Town. Respondents were predominantly male (67.7%), the median age was 37 years (IQR: 30-46 years) and less than half of the participants completed high school (47.5%). The majority of participants were blue collar workers outside of industry (55.5%). The skull and crossbones symbol was the label element most recalled, both unprompted (79.6%) and prompted (94.8%), and the first aid and treatment measures the least frequently recalled (6.0%-29.9%). Multivariate analysis showed the predictors that were found to increase the recall of all the label elements were, industrial sector, transport sector, agriculture sector, gender, home language English and Afrikaans, reading English and Afrikaans, completing high school and non-industry white collar occupations. The predictors that were found to decrease recall were further education, not wearing glasses and non-industry blue collar occupations. This study found demographic factors to influence the recall of hazard information. Policy should ensure the implementation of procedures that promote the recall of hazard information to protect workers from hazardous exposures.

Texto completoIntroduction: There is a large treatment gap for people with mental disorders in Africa and other low resourced countries, estimated to be between 70% and 90%. The treatment gap is mainly due to the lack of trained mental health professionals and inadequate mental health service resources in Africa. There has been a growing global movement championed by the World Health Organisation (WHO) to integrate mental health into primary health care as the most effective way of reducing this treatment gap. This study aimed to investigate the impact of WHO Mental Health Gap Action Programme (mhGAP) training and supervision on primary health workers' knowledge, attitudes, confidence and detection rate of major mental disorders in the district of Mulanje, Malawi. Method: The study was a quantitative evaluation using a quasi-experimental method (single cohort pre- and post-measures) and an interrupted time-series design. Forty-three primary healthcare workers from Mulanje, Malawi completed pre- and post- training questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitudes and confidence regarding the assessment and management of major mental disorders. Rates of diagnosis of major mental disorders were obtained from clinic registers for 5 months prior to and 7 months following training. Results: The results showed a significant change on knowledge and confidence scores but not attitudes. The mean knowledge score showed a statistically significantly increase from 11.8 (standard deviation [SD]: 0.33) before training to 15.1 (SD: 0.38) immediately after training; t(42) = 7.79, p <.01. Mean knowledge score was also significantly higher six month post training (13.9, SD: 2.52) than before training; t(42) = 4.57, p < .01. Similarly, the mean confidence score increased significantly from 39.9 (SD): 7.68) before training to 49.6 (SD: 06.14) immediately after training; t(84) = 8.43, p <.01. Mean confidence score was also significantly higher six month post training (46.8, SD: 6.03) than before training; t(84) = 6.60, p <.01. There was no overall significant difference in mean CAMI scores before, immediately after and 6 months after training in all four of the CAMI components. The F-test statistic and P-value for Authoritarianism, Benevolence, Social Restrictiveness and Community Mental Health Ideology were: F2, 126, 0.05 = 2.5; p =.09, F2, 126, 0.05 = 0.1; p =.9, F2, 126, 0.05 = 0.03; p = 1.0 and F2, 126, 0.05 = 0.04; p = 1.0, respectively. In the months January to May 2014 (before training), median number of cases per month was 77 (inter quartile range [IQR]: 65-87) whereas after training (months June to December) median number of cases was 186 (IQR: 175-197) showing a significant increase in median number of cases before and after the training; p =0.001. Conclusion: The results show clear improvements in the knowledge, confidence and detection of severe mental illness in primary care in Mulanje and demonstrate the potential for narrowing the treatment gap by rolling out mhGAP training nationally in Malawi. The findings of this study add to the growing evidence for policy makers of the effectiveness of mental health training and supervision of primary care workers in a resource-constrained country. Further research is needed to evaluate factors that may lead to change in health worker attitudes, to evaluate training and supervision programmes using more robust evaluation designs, such as randomised controlled trials, and to assess the scale up of mhGAP programmes at larger population levels.

Texto completoThe role of Community Health Workers (CHWs) in the HIV/AIDS Programme is directly dependent on the support systems provided by nurses, NGOs, the community, institutional frameworks, and government funding and stress management institutions. The Home-based caregivers that work in the HIV/AIDS Programme are CHWs who need maximum support from the above- mentioned institutions. The community is also reeling with the aggravating consequences of HIV/AIDS. CHWs play a role in trying to take care of the HIV patients within the home environment. People are cared for by the people they associate with and people who live with them. In order for CHWs to maximise their contribution to the HIV/AIDS Programme, there should be commitment from all stakeholders involved in the programme. Forty-one people from formal and non-formal structures took part in the study. The formal structures refer to clinics and hospitals, whereas informal structures refer to Home-based care (HBC) groups, volunteers, NGOs and international donor agencies. The study was conducted over a period of eight weeks. The study was conducted at Cork, Calcutta and Mkhuhlu clinics, and Mkhuhlu Home-based care and on USAID field officers. The results of the study suggested that with support systems from the relevant institutions, CHWs are able to carry their community obligations in an effective and efficient manner. These findings have positive relationship implications towards the reduction of HIV infections in the community. Hospitals that are faced with overcrowding also benefit in a way, when terminally ill patients are cared for at HBC centres.
Zenga, Debbie. "Perceived Effects of Microaggression on Peer Support Workers in Mental Health Recovery". Thesis, Alliant International University, 2018. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10815486.
Texto completoThis study explored the perceived effects of microaggressions on Peer Support Specialists (PSS). Although some research exists on the perceived effects of microaggression on individuals with lived experience of mental illness, known culturally as a marginalized group (Sue, 2010); none exists on PSS. The mental health movement began in the early 1900’s, which later evolved into mental health recovery and psychiatric rehabilitation. This movement brought forth the development of psychopharmacology, supportive services, and mental health programs. During the early phases of mental health recovery and treatment, individuals with lived experience of mental illness were utilized as peers and eventually as peer support specialists, or liaisons. Peer support specialists (PSS) provide an invaluable resource to individuals struggling with mental illness, as the literature supports. Despite strides towards societal acceptance, individuals with mental illness, continue to experience discrimination, stigma and microaggressions. Research on historical trauma, although beyond the scope of this research will be reviewed to provide an understanding of how microaggressions are passed on and additionally a narrative review of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC-25), aimed to contribute to the understanding of the history of trauma, engagement, and recovery. This research qualitatively explored the experience of sixteen participants who are PSS and in active recovery of mental illness. Semi structured focus group interviews revealed five major themes: Category 1–Microinvalidation: (1.1) Invalidation; (1.2) Second Class Citizen; Category 2–Resilience: (2.1) Advocacy; (2.2) Belonginess; (2.3) Perseverance.

Texto completoObesity is a serious global issue and it is increasing in prevalence in the United States. The purpose of this interpretive hermeneutic phenomenological study was to gain insight into the nature of the impact of work on obesity through reflecting on the lived experiences of employed adults. The research study used a van Kaam method as modified by Moustakas with in-depth, semi-structured interviews to explore factors surrounding the impact of work on obesity. Fifteen participants from two industries (Home Health Care and Education) were interviewed for the study. It was theorized that obesity was influenced by an inability to balance the demands and influence of the work environment with healthy weight management practices. The study revealed that the workplace does affect obesity because of food choices available within the organization, lack of health discussions, work hour demands, and lack of streamlined work processes that enables break periods. The most influential factors on the participants’ state of obesity were external to the workplace. The study also found that unhealthy habits and external relationships influence people’s state of obesity. Social policy change leaders should consider the person as the epicenter of the obesity issue because unhealthy habits are passed from generation to generation and a lack of both self-control and motivation exacerbates the obesity issue.

Texto completoBackground: Globally, neonatal mortality (i.e. deaths occurring during the first month of life) accounts for 44% of the 11 million infants that die every year (Lawn, Cousens &
Zupan, 2005). Early 
detection of illness and referral of mothers and infants during the peri-natal period to higher levels of care can lead to substantial reductions in maternal and child mortality in developing 
countries. Establishing effective referral systems from the community to health facilities can be achieved through greater utilization of community health workers and improved health seeking 
behaviour. Study design: The Good Start Saving Newborn Lives study being conducted in Umlazi, KwaZulu-Natal, is a community randomized trial to assess the effect of an integrated home 
visit package delivered to mothers during pregnancy and post delivery on uptake of PMTCT interventions and appropriate newborn care practices. The home visit package is delivered by community health workers in fifteen intervention clusters. Control clusters receive routine health facility antenatal and postpartum care. For any identified danger signs during a home visit, 
community health workers write a referral and if necessary refer infants to a local clinic or hospital. The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of this referral system by describing 
community health worker referral completion rates as well as health-care seeking practices and perceptions of mothers. A cross- sectional survey was undertaken using a structured 
questionnaire with all mothers who had been referred to a clinic or hospital by a community health worker since the start of the Good Start Saving Newborn Lives Trial. Data collection: Informed consent was obtained from willing participants. Interviews were conducted by a trained research assistant in the mothers&rsquo
home or at the study 
offices. Road to Health Cards were reviewed to confirm referral completion. Data was collected by means of a cell phone (mobile researcher software) and the database was later transferred to Epi-info and STATA IC 11 for analysis. 
Descriptive analysis was 
conducted so as to establish associations between explanatory factors and referral completion and to describe referral processes experienced by caregivers. Significant 
associations between categorical variables were assessed using chi square tests and continuous variables using analysis of variance. Results: A total of 2423 women were 
enrolled in the SNL study and 148 had received a referral for a sick infant by a CHW by June 2010. The majority (95%) of infants were referred only once during the time of enrolment, the 
highest number of which occurred within 
the first 4 weeks of life (62%) with 22% of these being between birth and 2 weeks of age. Almost all mothers (95%) completed the referral by taking 
their child to a health facility. Difficulty in breathing and rash accounted for the highest number of referrals (26% and 19% respectively). None of the six mothers who did not complete referral recognised any danger signs in their infants. In only 16% of cases did a health worker give written feedback on the outcome of the referral to the referring CHW. 
Conclusion: This study found 
high compliance with referrals for sick infants by community health workers in Umlazi. This supports the current primary health care re-engineering process being undertaken by the South 
African National Department of Health (SANDOH) which will involve the establishment of family health worker teams 
including community health workers. A key function of these workers will 
be to conduct antenatal and postnatal visits to women in their homes and to identify and refer ill children. Failure of mothers to identify danger signs in the infant was associated with 
non-completion of referral. This highlights the need for thorough counseling of mothers during the antenatal and early postnatal period on neonatal danger signs which can be reinforced by 
community health workers. Most of the referrals in this study were 
neonates which strengthens the need for home visit packages delivered by community health workers during the antenatal 
and post-natal period as currently planned by the South African National Department of Health.Recommendations: This study supports the current plans of the Department of Health for greater involvement of CHWs in Primary Health Care. Attention should be given to improving communication between health facilities and CHWs to ensure continuity of care and greater 
realization of a team approach to PHC.

Texto completoGenerally, sex workers are a socially marginalized group with poor physical health. Within the hierarchy of sex workers, street-based sex workers are at the bottom. Street-based sex workers face different kinds of work experiences and exposure, with varying degrees of health problems. Their health problems are more severe and worse than the other classes of sex workers. Street-based sex workers are subjected to considerable risks of physical abuse, beatings and rape. These impact greatly on their health. This study explored the general health problems of street-based female sex workers. The study was carried out in Cape Town among street-based female sex workers aged 18 years and above. It was cross-sectional, conducted over a period of six months using fifteen (15) in-depth interviews and four (4) focus group discussions. The respondents were non-randomly recruited through the Embrace Dignity Project, whose activities involved sex workers. The study discovered that condom use was inconsistent as a result of financial incentives, condom breakage, violence, rape and non-payment from clients when insisting on condom use. But some respondents were not using condoms at all. The majority of respondents reported stigmatization and discrimination by community members and the police. Most of the respondents do not go for routine and other medical checks. Some respondents were not satisfied with health care provision due to discrimination by providers and long waiting times. Notwithstanding, respondents reported a long list of health problems including: flu, cough, HIV/AIDS, TB, headache, vaginal discharge, itchy vagina, sleeplessness, high blood pressure, fever, heart problems, diarrhoea, sweating at night, arthritis, diabetes, alcoholic problems, bad breath, sore throat, and mouth rash. Physical and psychological problems were also mentioned. Most respondents rated their health status as bad. The illegality of sex work in South Africa pushes sex workers to practice the trade in obscure places making them very vulnerable. Street-based female sex workers have numerous general health problems, but with limited access to health services. The law does not also help the course of street-based female sex workers. There is an urgent need to partially criminalize sex work. Reorientation and education of sex workers and providers is also required. All these will help promote the welfare of sex workers.

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

Texto completoSouth Africa has an estimated two million documented and undocumented immigrants. In addition, Statistics South Africa (2014) notes very significant internal migration. This mobile population is affected by chronic communicable and non-communicable diseases such as TB, HIV, and diabetes, although it has a Constitutional right to health and healthcare. Their quality of healthcare and disease control also affects the general population and the burden on the health system can be increased by inadequately managed chronic conditions as well as acute health care needs. Access to healthcare and continuity of care reflect both patient agency and the health system. Community Health Workers (CHWs) play an important role in linking communities and patients to health services and vice versa. The aim of this study was to understand how agricultural migrants in the Cape Winelands District of Western Cape Province of South Africa navigated the healthcare system to access healthcare services including securing continuity of care, and in particular the role of CHWs in this process, in order to inform policy and practice.
Siemon, Mark. "The impact of state certification of community health workers on team climate among registered nurses in the United States". Thesis, The University of New Mexico, 2014. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3630354.
Texto completoA number of states have adopted certification programs for community health workers (CHWs) to increase oversight, allow for direct funding, and improve recognition of CHWs as members of the health care team. More states are considering CHW certification programs to increase the use of CHWs by health care organizations with the hopes of improving health outcomes and decreasing health disparities. There has been little research into the impact of state CHW certification on the adoption and dissemination of CHWs into the existing health care system. This study examined the impact of state CHW certification on the perceptions of team climate among registered nurses (RNs) who work with CHWs in states with and without CHW certification programs. Team climate is defined as the perceptions of team members on how they work together, share a single vision, are open to new ideas, and if they feel safe and supported by other team members. This study recruited RNs using an online purposeful sampling method to compare the perceptions of team climate using the Team Climate Inventory (TCI) short-form. The study found no significant differences in the overall mean TCI score or TCI subscale scores between RNs who work in states with CHW certification programs (n = 81) and those who work in states without CHW certification programs (n = 115). There was a significant difference in one survey question on the RNs views of whether state certification of CHW improved the ability of their health care team to deliver quality care. Further analysis of the results using multiple regression found few significant predictors of overall TCI and TCI subscale scores among the independent variables used in the regression models. Registered nurses are the largest part of the professional health care workforce, and their ability to collaborate and work with CHWs is critical to the integration of CHWs into existing health care organizations. More research on the impact of state certification of CHW and the factors that influence the adoption of innovative health care delivery methods is needed to meet the national goal of eliminating health disparities and improving health in minority and underserved populations.

Texto completoThis research investigates the nature and extent of community participation and involvement in the recruitment and selection processes for Community Health Workers (CHWs), primarily through detailed case studies of three CHW programmes, one in the Western Cape, another in KwaZulu-Natal, and a third which operates in the Western Cape and KwaZulu-Natal. The first utilizes CHWs in health education and home-based care in Khayelitsha and Nyanga. The second specializes in the training, management and supervision of home-based care CHWs in the rural areas of KwaZulu-Natal. The third utilizes CHWs in addressing maternal and child health issues in targeted peri-urban and rural areas in the three provinces. The mini-thesis is organized into five chapters: the first chapter provides the introduction and background as well as the methodological design of the mini-thesis
the second chapter focuses on providing a detailed literature review of relevant materials that cover the subject matter
the third chapter provides the descriptive background of the history of CHWs, CHW policies and community participation in South Africa, as well as a description of the three case study organizations
the fourth chapter describes and discusses the findings and the last and fifth chapter provides a summary of the findings as well as recommendations and conclusions.
