Purpose: Diabetes Mellitus Type II is a condition where the patients present with increased receptor resistance to adequately or normal amount of insulin production and reduced or inadequate amount of insulin produced. Worldwide the approximated burden of DM Type II is at 366 million people in 2011. The objective of the study is to determine the level of social support received by Diabetes Mellitus Type II patients attending a County Referral Hospital in Kenya. Methodology: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study conducted at a County Referral Hospital Outpatient Diabetic Clinic. Researcher administered questionnaires were used to collect data. Data analysis was manual for qualitative data and for quantitative data, descriptive statistics were used to analyze aided by the statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) version 22. Results: Majority 67.91% of the total participants reported not to be socially supported by their family and peers in specific aspects of their self-care management of Diabetes Mellitus Type II that contributed to the sub-optimal self-care practices attributed to the participants. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Study found close relationship between adequate Diabetes Mellitus Type II self-care by DM Type II patients and social support. The researcher recommends in-cooperation of the patient’s social circles in Diabetes Mellitus Type II self-care patients’ education so as to promote understanding which will enhance social support hence optimal practice and adherence.

Purpose: This descriptive cross-sectional study sought to assess the implementation of the nursing process by nurses in two sub county hospitals in Machakos county, Namely: Kangundo and Kathiani sub county hospitals. The study examined the influence of the nurses’ characteristics and the nurses’ attitudes on the implementation of the nursing process in the sub County. Methods: A self-administered questionnaire collected quantitative data, while key informant interviews were used to gather qualitative information. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics (in particular, the chi-square and Fisher’s Exact) were derived from the data. Results: Sixty-three percent of the nurses (n=45) had drafted a NCP a week prior to the study while 35.7% (n=25) had not. Seventy-five percent of them (n=41) had implemented the NCP. The nurses who developed the nursing care plan frequently ended up implementing it (100%, n=43) compared to those who did not (23.1%, n=3; fisher’s Exact Test P=0.000). Similarly, among the nurses who did not implement the nursing process, 76.9% (N=10) of them felt that NCP is time consuming. This difference was significant at 5% confidence level (LR=8.717, df=2, p=0.013). Although statistical analysis revealed no significant association between nursing process implementation and socio-demographic factors (p>0.05), qualitative findings suggested that the newly qualified nurses are more familiar with the nursing process than their older colleagues. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: study recommends that nursing administration cultivate positive mentality among nurses towards the nursing process; particularly focusing on making nurses understand that the tool should be consistently used among all patients and that it significantly improves patient care.

Purpose: The study objective was to establish the effect of HIV disclosure training on children’s HIV status disclosure and on ART adherence. Methodology:This was a comparative longitudinal study in ten health facilities in Homabay County with 860 non-disclosed HIV positive children on ART aged 6-10 years between 2016 to 2018.A randomized sample of 430 caregivers was trained on HIV status disclosure while another 430 caregivers not trained. All caregivers then performed HIV status disclosure to their HIV positive children, and children’s disclosure and adherence to ART status established. We used semi structured questionnaires, FGDs and KIIs for data collection and IBM SPSS version 20, logistic regression, chi-square and Nvivo software for data analysis. Results: Mean child age was 8 years for both groups, 35 and 37years for caregivers in control and intervention respectively. 409(95%) interventional caregivers had good overall knowledge on disclosure process compared to control (116(27%). Longitudinal viral suppression increased in both groups; intervention group 345(80.2%) to 384(90.1%), control (279(64.9%) to 296(70.1%). Trained caregivers were 2 times (OR-2.369) likely to disclose children’s HIV status. Disclosure training had significant effect (P<0.05) on child’s adherence. Children of trained caregivers were nine times (OR-9.145) likely to have good adherence. Level of education of caregivers (p=0. 035) and knowledge of care givers on the disclosure process (p=0.05) were significantly associated with ART adherence. Disclosure knowledge and lack of disclosure skills were cited in FGDs and KIIs as the major facilitator and barrier to disclosure and ART adherence respectively. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: The findings provide evidence – based interventions that will guide caregivers, the Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health on how and when to disclose to a child his own HIV status. Disclosure culminates into behavior change which is anticipated to enhance the reduction in the spread of HIV to the next generation and it is one way of sustaining the fight against HIV and AIDS.The study recommends all children in the age bracket of 6-10 years be disclosed to their own HIV status in order to increase their level of adherence to ART.
目的:探讨艾滋病病毒信息披露培训对儿童艾滋病病毒状况披露及抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性的影响。方法:这是一项比较纵向研究，在2016年至2018年期间，在霍马贝县的10个卫生机构中，对860名未披露的6-10岁艾滋病毒阳性儿童进行抗逆转录病毒治疗。随机抽样的430名护理人员接受了艾滋病毒状况披露方面的培训，另外430名护理人员未接受培训。然后，所有护理人员对其艾滋病毒阳性儿童进行艾滋病毒状况披露，并确定儿童披露和遵守抗逆转录病毒治疗状况。我们使用半结构化问卷、fgd和kii进行数据收集，并使用IBM SPSS version 20、logistic回归、卡方和Nvivo软件进行数据分析。结果:两组儿童平均年龄为8岁，对照组和干预组儿童平均年龄分别为35岁和37岁。409名(95%)介入护理人员对披露过程有良好的整体知识，而对照组(116名(27%))。两组纵向病毒抑制均增强;干预组345人(80.2%)~ 384人(90.1%)，对照组279人(64.9%)~ 296人(70.1%)。受过培训的护理人员透露儿童艾滋病毒状况的可能性为2倍(or = 2.369)。披露训练对儿童依从性有显著影响(P<0.05)。训练有素的护理人员的儿童有9倍(OR-9.145)可能有良好的依从性。护理人员的受教育程度(p=0。035)和护理人员对披露过程的了解(p=0.05)与抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性显著相关。信息披露知识和缺乏信息披露技能分别被认为是信息披露和抗逆转录病毒治疗依从性的主要促进因素和障碍。对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:研究结果提供了基于证据的干预措施，将指导护理人员、教育部和卫生部如何以及何时向儿童披露自己的艾滋病毒状况。披露最终导致行为改变，预计这将加强减少艾滋病毒向下一代的传播，这是维持防治艾滋病毒和艾滋病斗争的一种方式。该研究建议，所有6-10岁年龄段的儿童都应了解自己的艾滋病毒状况，以提高他们对抗逆转录病毒治疗的依从性。

Purpose: Male participation in antenatal care (ANC) is important and contributes to better maternal and neonatal birth outcomes. Deaths among mothers remain a serious burden in the developing countries, including Nigeria. Lack of male involvement in pregnancy related care is one of the contributing factors. The purpose of this study is to assess the level of male participation in ANC. In most countries in the world, promotion of maternal and child health is perceived as women’s role and men do not feel that they are responsible and see no reason to accompany their partners to Antenatal Care (ANC) clinics. Methodology: Cross sectional descriptive survey was used in the study. Findings: It was discovered that male partners do not fully participate in antenatal care due to many factors like low level of education, fear of being tested for HIV, culture and so on. Male partners/husbands are key support persons for many childbearing women and their involvement in pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum/postnatal period has beneficial effects on a wide range of outcomes related to maternal and child health and family wellbeing. Male involvement in antenatal care (ANC) is among interventions to improve maternal health. Globally male involvement in ANC is low and varies in low-income and middle-income countries including Nigeria where most maternal deaths occur. In Sub-Sahara, men are chief decision makers and highly influence maternal health. Unique Contribution to Theory Practice and Policy: It is therefore recommended that male should participate in ANC in order to encourage the wife in the course of pregnancy and promote psychological support.
