    Abstract: Epilepsy is a disorder in which nerve cell activity in the brain is disturbed, causing seizures. It may result from a genetic condition and occurs mainly in children, especially at a primary level. Most people living with Epilepsy suffer from stigma and discrimination because of a lack of knowledge regarding Epilepsy. This study aims to develop life skills education guidelines for primary school learners of Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces to educate learners about Epilepsy, thus decreasing stigma and discrimination. A multimethod research approach will be used in this study to fulfil its purpose. Both stages 1 and 2 of the empirical phase (phase 1) will employ an exploratory-descriptive study design focusing on the primary school teachers, life skills educational advisors and learners to obtain their perceptions or views regarding the need to include Epilepsy in life skills education. Data will be collected using individual interviews for life skill educational advisors and focus group discussions for teachers and learners at the sampled primary schools in Limpopo and Mpumalanga provinces. Phase two will conceptualise the phase 1 findings into the conceptual framework, and phase 3 will develop and validate the life skills guideline. This study will adhere to both internal and external ethical considerations. Recommendations will be made based on the findings of the study.

    Abstract: The high rate of malaria in the province has negatively impacted the department financially since medicines for malaria treatment are scarce and expensive. Many of the families live near the streams, and they are uninformed about malaria’s clinical manifestations and preventive measures. Aims: This study aimed to assess caregivers’ knowledge about malaria in children of selected villages within the Limpopo province of South Africa. Methods: Using a cross-sectional study design, this study was conducted in villages surrounding the Vhembe district of Limpopo province. A structured self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics. This study included 80 caregivers of children under 12 years of age. Results: It was found that approximately 85% of caregivers knew about malaria’s clinical manifestations and prevention measures. Conclusion: Community health care workers can improve the knowledge of caregivers by strengthening health education and preventive campaigns.

    Abstract: The lack of a conceptual framework that can be utilized to manage rape survivors diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorders presents a challenge in the North-West province. The study aims to provide a conceptual framework for managing rape survivors with PTSD in the province of the North-West using Practice-Oriented Theory and Donabedian’s Structure Process Outcome Model Features. The research was conducted using an explanatory, sequential and mixed-methods approach. Additionally, used was the descriptive and explorative programme evaluation design. The results of the study demonstrated the significance of PTSD assessment before management interventions for rape survivors. The study findings outlined and designed a framework to assess and manage PTSD among rape survivors consulting at Thuthuzela Care Centre and those referred to hospitals for further management. The Practice-Oriented theory by Dickoff, James and Wiedenbach, and the Structure Process Outcome model by Donabedian served as points of reference for the development of the conceptual framework. The study is limited to North-West provincial healthcare facilities and Thuthuzela care centres (TCCs), however, it highlights the lack of a conceptual framework pertaining to the psychological management of PTSD rape survivors in the province and South Africa.

    Abstract: South Africa has consistently had high reports on the prevalence of rape, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is the most common mental healthcare problem associated with rape. However, it seems that the provision of mental healthcare services for rape survivors is an acute challenge in the North West province and South Africa in general. Thuthuzela care centres provide care for rape survivors and these centres are located in public hospitals that mostly have mental health institutions that are well equipped with mental healthcare practitioners to assist rape survivors. This study explored and described the perceptions of mental healthcare practitioners regarding the psychological management of rape survivors suffering from PTSD in the North West province in South Africa. The study used a qualitative exploratory, descriptive and contextual research design to explore and describe the perceptions of mental healthcare practitioners regarding the psychological management of rape survivors suffering from PTSD. Data were collected using the purposive sampling method among mental healthcare practitioners through focus group discussions. Tesch’s method was used to analyse perceptions obtained from the participants. Five themes emerged: barriers to the psychological management of PTSD, assessments confirming diagnosis of PTSD, the use of various psychotherapeutic interventions, psychopharmacological management, and the involvement of various stakeholders. Therefore, recommendation is made for the implementation of effective psychotherapies such as debriefing, supportive counselling, trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, the provision of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, and brain working recursive therapy for the management of PTSD from post-rape experiences. Recommendations for the development of psychological management guidelines for rape survivors suffering from PTSD are also made for future research.

    Abstract: Cultural norms bring substantial weight in women’s decision-making, especially concerning the choice of the birth location. Cultural and religious practices may influence how pregnant women respond to Antenatal Care (ANC) services, feel confident about which questions to ask, or participate in the discussions about their care plan or birth options. Purpose: The study aimed to explore and describe the influence of cultural practices on the management of pregnancy in the Mbombela Municipality of Mpumalanga Province. Methods: Using a qualitative approach, pregnant women who failed to completely attend ANC services were purposively sampled, and individual unstructured in-depth interviews were employed to collect data. The study consisted of a sample size of 18 pregnant women, and data saturation was reached. Tech’s method of analysis was followed for data analysis. Results: Study findings revealed a significant theme: cultural practices and pregnancy management, encompassing three sub-themes: cultural practices in pregnancy, cultural medication taken by pregnant women, and the effects of cultural practices on pregnancy management. Conclusion: It is recommended that women should be given health education concerning ANC services every day while they wait in primary health care clinics. Accordingly, the healthcare professionals should encourage the active involvement of all pregnant women in health promotion gatherings and offer chances for clarity seeking. Despite the availability of free maternal healthcare services in primary healthcare clinics, women still consult traditional healers during pregnancy and believe in cultural practices. It is therefore important that programs developed for maternal services be congruent to the cultural practices of women to be serviced.

    Abstract: Zimbabwe has the highest teenage pregnancy rate in Sub Saharan Africa. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) prevalence in adolescents that are from tribes that perform cultural initiations and subscribe to certain norms are higher than the national prevalence which is estimated at 12% (18 and 13.6% respectively) in Zimbabwe. Indigenous Health Systems (IHSs) and Modern Health Systems (MHSs) in Zimbabwe run parallel thereby introducing challenges in the management of adolescent sexual health due to conflicts. This study seeks to develop strategies that will facilitate the integration of IHSs and MHS in Mberengwa and Umguza districts. Methods This research will be conducted in two phases. The first phase would utilise a concurrent triangulation mixed methods design with both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The findings from the qualitative and quantitative approaches would be merged through a comparison of findings side by side. The second phase would focus on the development and validation of strategies that would facilitate the integration of IHSs and MHSs. The Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat (SWOT) analysis would be applied on interfaced findings from phase one. The Basic Logic and the Build, Overcome, Explore and Minimise (BOEM) models would then be used to develop strategies based on the SWOT findings. The developed strategies would be validated through the application of Delphi technique and administration of checklist to selected key stakeholders through organised workshops. Discussion There have been no known studies found in the literature that explores the possibility and developed strategies of integrating IHSs and MHSs so as to promote safe sexual practices in adolescents. Most programs on sexual health have ignored the role of IHSs and MHSs in influencing safe sexual practices leading to them failing to attain desired goals. A lot of emphases has been targeted at minimising the spread of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) through advocating for utilisation MHSs rather than focussing on an integrating systems that are meant to manage Adolescent Sexual Health (ASH) related issues. The study protocol was approved by the University of Venda Ethics Committee Registration ( SHS/19/PH/17/2608 ) on the 26th of August 2019.

    Abstract: Gesundheitsdienstleister spielen eine bedeutende Rolle bei der Ausarbeitung und Umsetzung von Gesundheitspolitiken und -programmen, die auf verschiedenen Ebenen des Gesundheitssystems mit sexuellen Gesundheitsproblemen bei Jugendlichen umgehen. Diese beeinflussen das sexuelle Verhalten und die Praktiken von Jugendlichen. Ziel Diese Studie untersuchte die Rolle von Gesundheitsdienstleistern beim Umgang mit sexuellen Problemen von Jugendlichen und wie sich dies auf ihr sexuelles Verhalten und ihre sexuellen Praktiken auswirkt. Die Studie untersuchte die Gesundheitsdienstleister weiter, wie das indigene Gesundheitssystem in das moderne Gesundheitssystem integriert werden könnte, um ein wirksames Management von Problemen im Zusammenhang mit der sexuellen Gesundheit von Jugendlichen zu ermöglichen. Methoden Eine qualitative Querschnittsbefragung wurde bei gezielt ausgewählten Gesundheitsdienstleistern in Gesundheitseinrichtungen in den Distrikten Mberengwa und Umguza durchgeführt. Die Datenerhebung erfolgte durch unstrukturierte Interviews, die aufgezeichnet, wörtlich transkribiert und thematisch analysiert wurden. Die Ergebnisse wurden klar definiert als über- und untergeordnete Themen präsentiert. Ergebnisse Aus den abgefragten Daten ergaben sich insgesamt fünf übergeordnete Themen und neunzehn untergeordnete Themen. Die übergeordneten Themen waren: Überblick über sexuelle Gesundheitsprobleme bei Jugendlichen, Rolle des modernen Gesundheitssystems in Fragen der sexuellen Gesundheit von Jugendlichen, aufgetretene Herausforderungen, Faktoren des indigenen Gesundheitssystems, die in moderne Gesundheitssysteme einbezogen werden könnten, und Strategien zur Förderung der Integration des indigenen Gesundheitssystems und Modernes Gesundheitssystem. Die untergeordneten Themen vertieften die Erkenntnisse der wichtigsten Stakeholder unter den fünf übergeordneten Themen. Schlussfolgerungen Aus den Ergebnissen kann geschlossen werden, dass Anbieter von Gesundheitsdiensten eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Gestaltung und Bereitstellung von Diensten zur sexuellen Gesundheit von Jugendlichen spielen, die Jugendliche trotz Herausforderungen nutzen, die die Nachfrage nach diesen Diensten verringert haben. Es muss daher darauf hingewiesen werden, dass es eine Gelegenheit gibt, die Zusammenarbeit zwischen dem indigenen Gesundheitssystem und dem modernen Gesundheitssystem zu fördern, während sie bestrebt sind, den Jugendlichen in unterschiedlichen Kontexten nach besten Kräften zu helfen.
