- Description: The World Health Organisation (WHO) declared tuberculosis (TB) a global emergency, and this infectious disease remains a health threat by being the leading cause of death amongst adults (Naidoo, Dick & Cooper, 2008:55). In 2005, South Africa was ranked seventh in the world for having the highest TB rate and the lowest TB success rate in the world. As a professional nurse involved in the tuberculosis programme at a clinic in the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality at local government level for approximately three years, the researcher observed that the morale of professional nurses who provide TB services appeared to be low. They also appeared to be frustrated because they feel that they are not winning the battle with regard to the TB epidemic in their communities irrespective of their efforts to try and curb the spread of the disease. The extent of the workload per person also appeared to add to the low morale and frustration of the professional nurses rendering TB health services because they feel that they are unable to manage everything. The objectives of the study were therefore to explore and describe how professional nurses experienced the management of health services being rendered to TB patients in Sub district B of the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality (NMBM) in order to make recommendations that could be used by the district manager to address the research findings. The research study was based on a qualitative, explorative, descriptive and contextual research design. The research population consisted of all professional nurses who worked in the TB services of Sub district B. Non-probability, purposive sampling was used to select the participants for the study. Seven in-depth and three follow-up interviews were conducted before data saturation was achieved. The data gathered during the interview process by the researcher were transcribed and coded by an independent coder using Tech’s model for data analysis. Ethical considerations were adhered to throughout the research study. The aspect of trustworthiness according to Guba’s model was implemented in the research study and included credibility, applicability, consistency and neutrality. iii One theme, two sub themes and categories were identified relating to the diverse experiences expressed by the participants relating to the management of health services being rendered to TB patients. The experiences expressed by the professional nurses included both negative and positive experiences. The negative experiences expressed by the participants were for example, a lack of resources as hampering adequate service delivery, a concern regarding the number of staff contracting TB due to a lack of infection control measures, a difference in conditions of service between the two local authorities and the DOTS supporters as being a threat to patient confidentiality. The positive experiences expressed by the participants included experiences relating to job satisfaction in rendering TB health services, the DOTS supporters as being supportive to the staff, the TB meetings serving as an appropriate platform for problem solving and the audits conducted by managers as being remedial. The study concludes with recommendations made with regard to the areas of nursing practice, education and research.

Determinants of type 2 Diabetes mellitus among HIV/AIDS patients on antiretroviral drugs in the OR Tambo District, SA
- Authors: Nokwanda Edith Bam
- Date: 2018
- Language: English
- Type: PhD Manuscript
- Identifier: http://hdl.handle.net/11260/2073 , vital:40815
- Description: Background: Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (DM) is increasing in the context of HIV/AIDS as a result of the long-term effects of ARVS. Little is documented in South Africa on the determinants of type 2 DM in HIV/AIDS population although the prevalence is high (Moyo, et al., 2014). The purpose of this study was to describe the determinants of type 2 diabetes mellitus among HIV/AIDS patients on ARVS in the OR Tambo District. Methods: A quantitative research methodology using a case control retrospective study was used to describe the determinants of type 2 DM among HIV/AIDS patients in OR Tambo District. A sample of 177 (33%) cases with HIV/AIDS and type 2 DM was selected using a one stage stratified sampling with allocation proportion to size of each stratum of the four sub-districts of OR Tambo District. For example KSD 80 cases, Nyandeni 43; Qaukeni 36 and Mhlontlo 18. Two non-diabetic patients with HIV/AIDS were selected as controls per case unpaired and totalled up to 354 (67%) controls. A self - administration questionnaire adopted from WHO stepwise surveillance tool was used for data collection. Results: Findings of the study revealed five determinants of type 2 diabetes mellitus grouped as the socio-demographic determinants, levels of physical activities, types of diets, arterial blood pressure and body weight and types of combination antiretroviral therapies used in HIV/AIDS therapy. In addition the association of type 2 DM with HIV was shown to include ARV complications, number of years on ARVS and the tri-therapy versus fixed dose combination. Conclusion: Type 2 DM is a major complication of ARVS experienced by the cases at n=108 (61%) compared to others such as lipodystrophy n=10 (5.6%), skin disorders n=7 (3.9%) and bad dreams n=2 (1%). Consequently a multi-morbidity situation co-exists among the cases creating as shift from as single disease to a multiple-disease focus namely ARVS, anti-DM, anti-HPT etc. Recommendations on the HIV/AIDS and type 2 DM awareness and care intervention strategy were made to improve the health outcomes of type 2 DM patients in HIV/AIDS context in OR Tambo District.

Currently Activate is committed to informing Rhodes University students, staff and community members about relevant issues, mainly on campus. These issues range from hard news to more creative journalism. While Activate acts as a news source, one of its main objectives it to be accessible as a training ground for student journalists. The newspaper is run entirely by the students and is published twice a term. Activate is a free newspaper which receives an annual grant from the Rhodes University Student Representative Council, however, majority of its revenue is generated through advertising.

- Description: The potential of community-based organisations (CBOs) to provide lasting solutions in the field of Human Immune Virus (HIV) and Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS) has long been recognised. As interest in the role of CBOs has increased, so have attempts to build their capacity and increase their stability and sustainability. Capacity-building initiatives which aim to strengthen CBOs as if they were identical to formal, more established organisations have often proved ineffective, and even at times destructive, because they have ignored the very differences that make CBOs potentially the most effective agents of development change at community level. This study is a qualitative exploration of a new mentoring-based approach to CBO capacity-building, which is currently being used extensively with CBOs in the Eastern Cape of South Africa. The research is inductive, beginning with an exploratory, descriptive and contextual study of the personal experiences and perceptions of CBO leadership team members from four sample CBOs which have graduated from the Barnabas Trust mentoring programme. Data was collected using a combination of face-to-face unstructured interviews and focus group discussion, with the objective of exploring the subjects’ experiences and their perceptions of the impact of the Barnabas Trust mentoring programme on the sustainability of their organisations. The insights and findings arising from the research process are then applied as the basis for a series of recommendations for the adaptation of the Barnabas trust mentoring approach and materials. The findings of this study appear to show that the mentoring-based approach has been an effective strategy for capacity-building towards sustainability for the CBOs in the sample, bringing positive change at the individual, organisational and community levels.

In vitro systems for the assessment of drug release from topical formulations and trans-membrane permeation

- Description: Numerous experimental methods have been developed to investigate drug release from vehicles and the percutaneous absorption of topically applied chemicals. The objective of this research is often to find correlation between laboratory results and the transdermal absorption experienced by living subjects so that in vivo experimentation may be curtailed. In many instances, the diverse experimental techniques tend to obscure absorption-controlling factors and complicate inter study comparisons, rather than clarify the complex transdermal absorption process. Moreover, lack of agreement between results may occasionally be ascribed to shortcomings in the in vitro methodology employed. The benefits of using an in vitro cell system for the preliminary testing of drug permeation in the laboratory are obvious. The environmental and diffusion variables may be controlled in an attempt to elucidate specific factors affecting the kinetic processes and drug bioavailability. Investigations are complex because of the multiple, interrelated events underlying the processes of drug partitioning from the applied vehicle and diffusion through the portals of the stratum corneum to the myriad of metabolic, binding, and clearance activities in the lower epidermal and dermal strata.

A democratising South Africa?: an analysis of the 2004 national election
- Authors: Prudhomme, Leah Shianne
- Date: 2004
- Subjects: African National Congress , Elections -- South Africa , Voting -- South Africa , Democracy -- South Africa , Political parties -- South Africa , South Africa -- Politics and government -- 1994-

- Description: Two of the post apartheid elections held in South Africa (1994, 1999) have been used as mechanisms to analyse and assess the extent to which the country’s transition from apartheid to a democratic dispensation is succeeding or not. The primary analytical focus of the 1994 and 1999 elections has revolved around the nature of the party system and voting behaviour. Basically, contestation has arisen over two primary and related issues: the dominance of the African National Congress (ANC) weighed against the weakness of opposition parties and the implications that this development has for effective democratic consolidation. Also, whether voting decisions based on divisive racial and ethnic identities that underlie electoral contests are pervasive enough to derail the process of democratisation. Generally, the primary conclusion has been that the unfolding pattern of South African electoral politics indicates sufficient grounds on which to doubt the prospects for effective democratic consolidation. This dissertation engages these debates with particular reference to the 2004 elections. In contrast to this pessimistic view of the prospects of successful democratisation in South Africa it upholds through an analysis of the 2004 elections the view that there is insufficient empirical evidence, to conclude that South Africa’s democratisation process is imperiled. It maintains that although there are problems related to the to the nature of the party system and some elements of voting behaviour there is enough countervailing evidence revealed by the 2004 election results that this does not present a substantially serious threat to the prospects of South Africa attaining a democratic society.
