Abstract

Importance Hypertension is the largest contributor to the Global Burden of Disease. In Rwanda, as in most low-income and middle-income countries, an increasing prevalence of hypertension and its associated morbidity and mortality is causing major healthcare and economic impact. Understanding healthcare systems context in hypertension care is necessary. Objective To study the hypertension healthcare context as perceived by healthcare providers using the Context Assessment for Community Health (COACH) tool. Design A cross-sectional cohort responded to the COACH questionnaire and a survey about hypertension training. Setting Three tertiary care hospitals in Rwanda. Participants Healthcare professionals (n=223). Primary outcome(s) and measure(s) The COACH tool consists of 49 items with eight subscales: resources, community engagement, commitment to work, informal payment, leadership, work culture, monitoring services for action (5-point Likert Scale) and sources of knowledge (on a 0-1 scale). Four questions surveyed training on hypertension. Results Responders (n=223, 75% women; 56% aged 20-35 years) included nurses (n=142, 64%, midwives (n=42, 19%), primary care physicians (n=28, 13%) and physician specialists (n=11, 5%)). The subscales commitment to work, leadership, work culture and informal payment scored between 4.7 and 4.1 and the community engagement, monitoring services for action and organizational resources scored between 3.1 and 3.5. Sources of knowledge had a mean score of 0.6 +/- 0.3. While 73% reported having attended a didactic hypertension seminar in the past year, only 28% had received long-term training and 51% had <3-year experience working with hypertension care delivery. The majority (99%) indicated a need for additional training in hypertension care. Conclusions There is a need for increased and continuous training in Rwanda. Healthcare responders stated a commitment to work and reported supportive leadership, while acknowledging limited resourc

Abstract

Introduction: Effective and appropriate use of information and communication technologies is an essential competency for all healthcare professionals. To achieve this goal, healthcare professionals should receive the requisite health informatics training during basic and advanced educational programs. This study assessed health informatics competencies in existing curricula of the University of Rwanda for undergraduate training of healthcare professionals in Rwanda. Healthcare professionals often lack knowledge of systematically processing data and information, which affects the decisionmaking process. As health information technologies increasingly become part of the health care environment, the need to train healthcare professionals with health informatics competencies is growing. Methods: A descriptive crosssectional study with a review of document approach was conducted. Using a census method we assessed the availability of health informatics competencies in existing curricula for undergraduate training of healthcare professionals in Rwanda. Results: There is a low presence of health informatics competencies in the studied curricula with only 11 out of 23 competencies (47.8%) having a score of presence greater than 50%. Conclusion: To bridge the gap we propose that more health informatics competencies be included in all undergraduate health professions’ curricula. Furthermore, the establishment of continuous on-the-job training in health informatics for those who are already practicing is also essential.

Abstract

Objective: To assess the level of compliance with COVID-19 preventive measures and compliance-associated factors in the Rwanda community., Design: Cross-sectional study., Settings: Country-wide community survey in Rwanda., Participants: 4763 participants were randomly sampled following the sampling frame used for the recent Rwanda Demographic Health Survey. Participants were aged between 22 years and 94 years., Outcomes: The participants' compliance with three preventive measures (wearing a face mask, washing hands and social distancing) was the main outcome., Methods: From 14 February 2022 to 27 February 2022, a cross-sectional survey using telephone calls was conducted. Study questionnaires included different questions such as participants' demographics and compliance with COVID-19 preventives measures. Verbal consent was obtained from each participant. The compliance on three main preventive measures (wearing a mask, washing hands and social distancing) were the main outcomes. Univariate and multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate factors associated with compliance (age, gender, level of education, socioeconomic status)., Results: Compliance with the three primary preventive measures (washing hands 98%, wearing a mask 97% and observing social distance 98%) was at a rate of 95%. The respondents' mean age was 46±11 SD (range 22-98) years. In addition, 69% were female and 86% had attended primary education. Bivariate and regression analyses indicated a significant association among the three primary preventive measures (p<0.05). The results showed factors associated significantly between the different models (p<0.05): proper mask use and social distancing in the hand washing model; hand washing, social distancing, avoiding handshakes and not attending gatherings in the proper mask use model; hand washing and avoiding handshakes in the social distancing model., Conclusion: Compliance with the three key preventive measures against COVID-19 was high in the Rwandan community and these measures were interdependent. Therefore, the importance of all three measures should be emphasised for effective disease control., Competing Interests: Competing interests: None declared., (© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2024.
