Sexualities scholarship has long acknowledged an imbalance in the types of location researched, with the majority of studies having taken place in sites of relative privilege in the Global North. However, there has yet to be a sustained consideration as to the ways in which the particularities of the urban South – such as widespread urban informality – may offer important opportunities for sexualities scholars to engage more directly with locations beyond the Global North. In relation specifically to examples drawn from sub-Saharan Africa, in this article, I explore first the informal economic sector and examine the possibilities of considering the ways in which non-heteronormative sexualities may form a key but so far under-researched part of this sector. I then examine the ways in which scholarship can consider the particular strategic and pragmatic ways by which non-heteronormative groups and communities may be navigating informal built environments, not only to survive but also to potentially thrive.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"23 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89081994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, healthcare professionals must devise strategies to deal with the challenges faced in the public health sector. Investigating the ways in which healthcare professionals promote interprofessional care principles to manage patient care outcomes is crucial. Primary healthcare is a significant level of health service delivery, therefore, the implementation of interprofessional practice at this level is especially important. In this review, we aim to explore and describe the activities outlined in the literature, which are used to promote interprofessional practice at primary healthcare level. A systematic search of seven databases was conducted for articles published between 2008 and 2021. All articles with a quantitative, qualitative or mixed methodology, a primary healthcare facility study setting, and full-text availability were included. A methodological appraisal tool was adapted from the RE-AIM framework. Twelve studies were included in the final review. Interprofessional clinics, interprofessional collaborative practices, collaborative care processes, and interprofessional team training were the primary activities identified in the review. These studies aimed to promote interprofessional practice in healthcare settings through various activities. There was limited information regarding the efficiency of the activities. According to the findings, undertaking interprofessional collaborative practice models appears to be the most practicable strategy for implementing interprofessional activities. It is crucial that facility management support this endeavour for its implementation to be successful.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85249726","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is a hazard to many urban and suburban communities and workers who use the water from urban river environments. In this study, we aim to determine the impact of poor stream conditions on the health of stream workers in Umlazi. We used the Health Belief Model as a conceptual framework to explore the susceptibility to and the severity of health hazards that affect stream workers’ health state. A qualitative case study design was used. The data were collected through interviews (n = 25) from community-based cooperatives and employees of municipality departments who are involved in the management of streams in the Umlazi Township. The data were recorded, transcribed, coded and thematically analysed. Current stream conditions were perceived to be deteriorating, which affected stream workers’ health and perception of safety. The streams were noted to have medical waste, venomous snakes, other pests and insects, sewer leakages and illegal sewer connections created to compensate for the general lack of services from the municipality. Cholera and diarrhoea were identified as the prominent health threats because of the prevailing stream conditions. Improving the working conditions of sanitation workers would contribute to ensuring the health and promoting the well-being of all people of all ages in the area by reducing their exposure to unsafe chemicals on the job, ensuring sustainable management of water and sanitation for all and providing decent work conditions.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"82 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90937331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of our study is to inform the comparability of predictors of suicidality across first responder types to elucidate the most efficacious targets for intervention and clinical intercession. Clients (N = 224) sought counseling services between 2015 and 2020 at a not-for-profit organization. We conducted a matched study with cases defined as those with suicidality at baseline and those without suicidality at baseline (controls). First responder types were law enforcement officers (LEOs), firefighters, and emergency medical technicians. Clients were mostly LEOs (41.5%), followed by firefighters (29.9%) and emergency medical technicians (28.6%). Logistic regression models tested the relationship between mental health measures and suicidality. All measures of mental health constructs varied significantly across those with or without suicidality and differed across first responder subtype. Depression and posttraumatic stress disorder were significant predictors of suicidality for both LEOs and firefighters. Alcohol/substance misuse was only a significant predictor among LEOs. Resilience was a protective factor for both LEOs and emergency medical technicians. Specific differences in predictors of suicidality across first responder subtypes may enable occupation-specific targets for mental healthcare.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134956484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In South Africa, however, low rate of viral suppression (47%) among people living with HIV is a major health problem that has continued to fuel HIV prevalence. A cross-sectional quantitative research design was used to investigate the relationship between treatment comorbidities and viral suppression among HIV-infected adults aged 18–49 who were diabetic, had cancer, or tuberculosis in Johannesburg. HIV Care Continuum formed the theoretical framework for this research. An existing HIV-infected patient de-identifiable dataset (n = 602) was used for the descriptive and logistic regression analysis. Results revealed a statistically significant association between tuberculosis treatment and viral suppression—adjusted OR = 1.534, (1.053, 2.234), and p = 0.02—indicating that treatment of comorbidities, such as tuberculosis, has positive impact on viral suppression outcomes. Results, however, revealed that the model for diabetes treatment and viral suppression—OR = 0.993, (0.658, 1.498), and p = 0.97—and the model for cancer treatment and viral suppression—OR= 1.234, (0.844, 1.805), and p = 0.27—were not statistically significant. Treatment of comorbidities, such as TB and HIV, positively impacts viral suppression outcomes. These findings suggested that concurrent, simultaneous, or integrated treatment models for comorbidities can help to achieve HIV viral suppression. This study contributes to positive social change by highlighting the effect of treatment comorbidities on viral suppression in people living with HIV (PLWHIV) in an under-resourced setting, which could inform policy and influence decisions on HIV care and management.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135837804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This may partly be explained by an increase in risky sexual behaviors among high school adolescents. The current study was conducted to explore the association between a set of predictor variables (comprehensive HIV knowledge and condom use self-efficacy score) and an outcome variable of risky sexual behavior among high school adolescents in the Angacha District of Southern Ethiopia. The study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design to answer the research question. Primary data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire from 374 participants using a stratified random sampling technique. Descriptive statistics and bivariate and multivariate logistic regressions were computed using SPSS Version 25. The prevalence of risky sexual behavior among school adolescents was 30.04/per 1000. The Cronbach’s Alpha for condom use self-efficacy score (CUSES) was 0.79. The association between HIV comprehensive knowledge and risky sexual behavior was not statistically significant. A statistically significant association was found between CUSES and the risky sexual behavior of the student, P = 0.048, OR =2.23, 95% CI [1.007, 4.925] when the covariates were held constant. The mean CUSES for males (M = 3.44) was significantly higher than females (M = 3.22), U = 14523.5, P = 0.025, η2 = 0.016). Policy decisions to revitalize school-based adolescent sexual health promotion to empower adolescents with life skills are needed to sustain the gains of HIV/AIDS control and enhance social change in the country.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"770 Pt B 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77050972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study employed the Sen’s capabilities approach as the analytical approach and posited that the level of education, health status, quality of investment, technology, and government fiscal and monetary policies are plausible determinants of human development. We used the Structural Vector Autoregression (SVAR) to estimate the responses of such selected shocks, which are inflation, interest rate, government capital expenditure, exchange rate, current account balance, and savings shocks. The Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) and the Impulse Response (IR) showed that a fiscal policy shock is the major factor influencing human development outcomes. This finding underscored the important role government plays in enhancing the well-being of its citizens. Fiscal policy tools (such as investment in education, health, housing, and infrastructure) are essential for human development. In particular, the human development outcome is found to respond positively to shocks from real interest rates, which are felt significantly in the short run. We concluded that human development is negatively affected by a sudden decline in the federal government’s capital budget expenditure.","PeriodicalId":89999,"journal":{"name":"Journal of social, behavioral and health sciences","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78911568","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
