Abstract:

Abstract More than 90% of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-related deaths occur in low- and middle-income countries; however, few studies have examined the illness experiences of individuals living with and providing treatment for COPD in these settings. This study characterizes illness representations for COPD in Nakaseke, Uganda from the perspectives of health care providers, village health teams and community members (CMs) with COPD. We conducted 40 in-depth, semi-structured interviews (16 health care providers, 12 village health teams and 12 CMs, aged 25–80 years). Interviews were analyzed using inductive coding, and the Illness Representations Model guided our analysis. Stakeholder groups showed concordance in identifying causal mechanisms of COPD, but showed disagreement in reasons for care seeking behaviors and treatment preferences. CMs did not use a distinct label to differentiate COPD from other respiratory illnesses, and described both the physical and social consequences of COPD. Local representations can inform development of adapted educational and self-management tools for COPD.

Abstract:

The reasons for the positive association between anxiety disorders and asthma are unknown. We investigated the possible role of shared exposures in early life.We conducted a case–control study among adolescents (age 12–17 years) with and without asthma in urban Uganda, as part of a larger asthma case–control study. Anxiety disorders were diagnosed by psychiatric clinical officers. We focused on generalised anxiety disorder (GAD), panic disorder and social anxiety disorder. Asthma was doctor-diagnosed by study clinicians. We used questionnaires to collect data on early-life exposures. The data were analysed using multiple logistic regression.We enrolled 162 adolescents; 73 of them had asthma. Adolescents with asthma were more likely to have any of the three anxiety disorders studied (46.6%) than adolescents without asthma (21.4%) (adjusted OR (aOR) 2.68, 95% CI 1.30–5.53). The association was strong for GAD (aOR 4.49, 95% CI 1.48–13.56) and panic disorder (aOR 5.43, 95% CI 2.11–14.02), but not for social anxiety disorder. The early-life risk factors associated with anxiety disorders among adolescents were similar to asthma risk factors previously published, including urban residence at birth (aOR 3.42, 95% CI 1.29–9.09) and during most of the first 5 years of life (aOR 2.87, 95% CI 1.07–7.66), father's tertiary education (aOR 2.09, 95% CI 1.00–4.37), and adolescent's history of other allergy-related diseases (aOR 4.64, 95% CI 1.66–13.00).We confirm a positive association between anxiety disorders and asthma among adolescents in urban Uganda. The early-life risk factors associated with anxiety disorders among adolescents were similar to those for asthma in the same age group, suggesting shared underlying environmental exposures.

Abstract:

International organizations are increasingly turning to theatre as a means of raising development issues, exploring options, and influencing behaviour. This paper examines some structures and techniques inherent in this type of applied theatre, analyzing two plays used to supplement AIDS education programmes in Uganda. One is a video production by a typical urban popular theatre group, while the second production analyzed exemplifies the Theatre for Development approach through its sub-genre, Campaign Theatre, used to raise awareness on health issues, hygiene, sanitation, child care, and the environment. The study analyzes the performance of the two plays and addresses some contradictions arising from the involvement and influence of external organizations. Marion Frank is a graduate of Bayreuth University in Germany, whose extensive field research has resulted in the publication of AIDS Education through Theater (Bayreuth African Studies Series, Bayreuth, 1995). Dr. Frank is currently living in the US, where as a Visiting Scholar at Duke University she is now working on a research project aiming to establish a closer link between literary/cultural studies and medicine/medical anthropology.
