Applying CFIR to assess multi-level barriers to PrEP delivery in rural South Africa: Processes, gaps and opportunities for service delivery of current and future PrEP modalities
Despite established efficacy for oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in reducing HIV incidence, multi-level barriers within the health system, clinics, and the processes that shape practice have hindered service delivery and subsequent population-level effects. We applied the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR) to assess the context of PrEP delivery for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in rural South Africa and identify the factors supporting and impeding PrEP implementation to develop strategies to improve PrEP delivery. Between 2021 and 2022, we conducted in-depth interviews with five young women with PrEP use experience and 11 healthcare providers as well as four key informant stakeholder interviews. Tailored interviews organized around the CFIR domains provided multiple perspectives on the inter-connected processes, gaps, and opportunities between health systems, clinics, communities, and PrEP services. Shifts in PrEP policies, funding pressures, and inconsistent communications from the National Department of Health spurred fragmented planning, engagement, execution, and monitoring of PrEP delivery processes within clinics already struggling to address multiple population health needs. Resulting challenges included: conflicting priorities within clinics and across NGO partners, unclear goals and targets, staffing and space constraints, and insufficient community engagement. Individual clinics’ implementation climate and readiness to deliver PrEP varied in terms of operational plans and delivery models. Interviewees reported complexity of initiation procedures and support for PrEP maintenance, with opportunities to improve systems communications and processes to facilitate integrated services and more user-friendly experiences. Applying CFIR identified opportunities to strengthen PrEP delivery across levels within this complex service delivery setting.
期刊介绍:
Social Science & Medicine provides an international and interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of social science research on health. We publish original research articles (both empirical and theoretical), reviews, position papers and commentaries on health issues, to inform current research, policy and practice in all areas of common interest to social scientists, health practitioners, and policy makers. The journal publishes material relevant to any aspect of health from a wide range of social science disciplines (anthropology, economics, epidemiology, geography, policy, psychology, and sociology), and material relevant to the social sciences from any of the professions concerned with physical and mental health, health care, clinical practice, and health policy and organization. We encourage material which is of general interest to an international readership.
