Although such experiences affect the PCGs' Quality of Life (QoL), there is paucity of data for Malawi. Understanding their QoL would inform establishment of holistic intervention(s) tailored to meet their needs. Therefore, the purposes of this study were to determine QoL of PCGs of the children who were receiving rehabilitation at Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital (QECH) and Feed the Children (FtC), to identify PCG's and children's socio-demographic factors that may attribute to the perceived QoL, and to compare the PCGs' QoL between the sites.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to April 2019 on 142 PCGs of children aged between 2 and 18 years of age. All PCGs who were employed for the child-care, or had a chronic sickness were excluded. QoL was assessed using the World Health Organization Brief questionnaire, with a cut-off point of <60% for poor QoL. The severity of children's impairments was assessed using Gross Motor Function Classification System. Descriptive and inferential statistics were conducted to analyze the data. The PCGs' age, sex, marital status and level of education, and child's severity of impairment were compared with QoL.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The majority of PCGs (61.30%) had poor QoL, and there was no significant difference in overall QoL of the PCGs between the sites (p<0.31). The PCGs at QECH had significantly higher physical domain mean scores than at FtC (U=1906, p<0.01). The overall QoL differed significantly across the marital statuses of the PCGs (p<0.03).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The study has established that most PCGs at both sites possess poor QoL. However, there is need to investigate how the rehabilitation institutions and workers influence the QoL of the PCGs within and between the facilities.</p>","PeriodicalId":18185,"journal":{"name":"Malawi Medical Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"176-183"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/c0/c7/MMJ3403-0176.PMC9641608.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10456385","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a result, mandated routine elements of service delivery may not be fully offered owing to lack of resources or programmatic priority. Integration of currently active 'vertical' programmes (those focused on a specific priority disease entity) into existing 'horizontal' services (meaning provision across the range of clinical and public health need) has potential to improve access and quality of service delivery for Reproductive, Maternal, Newborn, Child and Adolescent Health (RMNCAH) in Malawi. We identified and tabulated the main vertical funding streams currently available in Malawi and identified where these could intersect with existing horizontal health sector programmes in order to strengthen RMNCAH. We have indicated how each of the main vertical programmatic components can be adapted and integrated to support broader system strengthening within RMNCAH focusing especially on drug and commodity procurement, supply chain logistics, health facility and equipment maintenance/upgrading, health service activity data systems, human resources for 'front line' RMNCAH provision, as well as community engagement and mobilization. By circumventing the various limitations of vertical programmes in the delivery of health services in the country, they would complement existing funding streams rather than operating in a vacuum as independent activities. We therefore recommend the integration of horizontal and existing vertical programmes in order to improve RMNCAH in Malawi.</p>","PeriodicalId":18185,"journal":{"name":"Malawi Medical Journal","volume":"34 3","pages":"206-212"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2022-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/pmc/oa_pdf/54/a1/MMJ3403-0206.PMC9641613.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10450096","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
