Abstract

Resource-limited health systems in sub-Saharan Africa struggle to provide population-wide high-quality primary healthcare, with particular concerns relating to professional workforce issues and the role of family caregivers. This qualitative study design explores the perceptions of (n = 19) health and social care professionals of the challenges they face in caring for individuals living with non-communicable diseases in Uganda. Identified challenges resulted from staffing and resource limitations, with wider issues relating to poverty and the burden placed on carers. As non-communicable diseases continue to rise, these empirical findings can inform developments in policy and service delivery in low and middle-income country contexts.

护理非传染性疾病患者：乌干达卫生和社会护理专业人员的观点和经验

撒哈拉以南非洲地区资源有限的医疗系统在努力为整个人口提供高质量的初级医疗保健服务，尤其关注专业人员队伍问题和家庭护理人员的作用。这项定性研究设计探讨了（n = 19）医疗和社会护理专业人员对他们在照顾乌干达非传染性疾病患者时所面临挑战的看法。所发现的挑战来自人员和资源的限制，以及与贫困和护理人员负担有关的更广泛的问题。随着非传染性疾病的不断增加，这些实证研究结果可以为中低收入国家的政策制定和服务提供提供参考。
