Acceptability of alcohol-based hand rub during neonatal care in rural Ugandan households: a qualitative study nested within the BabyGel trial.

BACKGROUND: Poor access to water, sanitation and hygiene exacerbates the spread of infections among newborns. The BabyGel cluster randomised trial assessed the effectiveness of a community-level alcohol-based hand rub with a training component in reducing infection or death rates among newborns in Uganda. OBJECTIVE: Nested in the BabyGel trial, this study investigated the acceptability of the BabyGel intervention among mothers and household members in Eastern Uganda, using the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability. METHODS: In 2022, we conducted individual semistructured interviews with mothers, and group interviews with mothers and other household members, all recruited from intervention-arm clusters. Thematic analysis combined inductive and deductive coding, structured by the framework's seven constructs: affective attitude, burden, ethicality, intervention coherence, opportunity costs, perceived effectiveness and self-efficacy. RESULTS: Twenty mothers and 14 household members participated in 10 individual and 10 small group interviews. Participants found the intervention generally acceptable, appreciating its convenience and perceived protection against infection. Many described hand hygiene changes that persisted beyond the intervention period. However, concerns related to its harmful effects, spiritual beliefs and social tensions with visitors occasionally influenced its use. CONCLUSION: Alcohol-based hand rub combined with a training component was generally well accepted, driven by perceived health and practical benefits, although concerns related to safety, belief systems and social dynamics remained. Because data collection coincided with the COVID-19 pandemic, a period of heightened hygiene awareness, the acceptability observed could differ in nonpandemic periods. Culturally adapted education, community engagement and reinforcement of correct use may enhance acceptability and sustainability in similar settings.

Pathways of onward HIV disclosure in relationships among young people living with vertically acquired HIV receiving antiretroviral therapy: A qualitative analysis from the BREATHER Plus trial, South Africa.

For young people living with HIV (YPLHIV) navigating their status since birth, managing onward disclosure of a potentially stigmatising condition in relationships is challenging, and may or may not lead to social support, with implications for wellbeing. In a clinical trial setting in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, we investigate how young people living with vertically acquired HIV navigate onward disclosure. Data were from the qualitative component of the BREATHER Plus randomised controlled trial evaluating the efficacy, safety and acceptability of short-cycle dolutegravir/tenofovir-based triple antiretroviral therapy (ART) in young people aged 12-19 years. We analyse data on 35 participants receiving ART engaged in clinical trials at the research site: 29 in longitudinal in-depth interviews (IDIs) and 12 across three focus group discussions (FGDs), including 6 in IDIs and FGDs. The Disclosure Processes Model was applied in the thematic analysis. Pre-disclosure was characterised by social assessments of potential confidants. During disclosure, reciprocal vulnerability and partial information-sharing were employed. Post-disclosure processes entailed linear and non-linear feedback trajectories, impacting future disclosures. The findings show that the study cohort of young people receiving ART navigated many bidirectional disclosure pathways to maintain social connections in relationships, and counselling guidelines need to be responsive to this.

Evaluating a culturally adapted question prompt list to improve end-of-life communication among indonesian migrant caregivers: A randomized controlled trial with qualitative insights.

OBJECTIVE: Indonesian caregivers serve as essential providers of end-of-life (EOL) care in Taiwan. But often face communication challenges due to language, cultural, and hierarchical barriers. This study evaluated the effectiveness of a culturally adapted Question Prompt List (QPL). METHODS: This study employed a two-arm randomized controlled trial design supplemented with qualitative interviews. The study was conducted in a hospice ward and home care setting within a medical center in Taiwan. A total of sixty Indonesian caregivers were recruited and randomly assigned to either the intervention group (n&#x202f;=&#x202f;30) or the control group (n&#x202f;=&#x202f;30). The intervention group received routine end-of-life (EOL) education along with a culturally adapted Question Prompt List (QPL), which consisted of 37 items covering domains including the dying process, emotional support, communication, symptom management, and care decision-making. The control group received routine EOL education. Outcome measures included caregiving preparedness, communication self-efficacy, satisfaction, and question-asking behavior. In addition, semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants, and the data were analyzed using thematic content analysis. RESULTS: Analysis of covariance revealed no statistically significant between-group differences in caregiving preparedness (F = 1.58, p&#x202f;=&#x202f;.215 [-0.41, 0.44]) or communication selfefficacy (F = 0.83, p&#x202f;=&#x202f;.366 [-0.44, 0.79]). However, communication satisfaction was significantly higher in the intervention group (F = 4.19, p&#x202f;<&#x202f;.05 [0.04, 0.44]). The number of questions asked was also significantly higher in the intervention group (t&#x202f;=&#x202f;-4.35, p&#x202f;<&#x202f;.001 [-5.41, -1.98]). Thematic analysis of qualitative data identified 4 themes and 14 subthemes, illustrating how the QPL reduced anxiety, clarified care needs, and improved confidence. CONCLUSIONS: A culturally adapted QPL can enhance communication engagement and satisfaction among migrant caregivers. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS: Integrating culturally tailored QPLs into caregiver education and palliative care practice may promote more inclusive and effective communication.
