Full textIntroduction: Tuberculosis and HIV are major public health problems in Botswana. The Botswana National Tuberculosis Control Programme (BNTP) was established in 1975. Short course chemotherapy was introduced in 1986 and the Directly Observed Treatment (DOT) Strategy was adopted in 1993. In the face of growing TB notification rates, a low country average cure rate, human resource constraints in health facilities and sometimes poor accessibility to health facilities by weak patients and those living far away, Botswana decided to offer home-based care using volunteers or family members. Setting: Kweneng West Subdistrict, a rural area in Botswana Aim and objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the success of home-based DOT in the management of tuberculosis compared to facility-based DOT in Kweneng West Subdistrict, Botswana and to explore the acceptability of home-based DOT among TB patients, TB treatment supervisors and health workers. Objectives: - To compare treatment outcomes for patients receiving home-based DOT and those receiving facility-based DOT through the following criteria: - To compare patient contact(s) tracing efforts among home-based providers and facility-based providers - To establish TB patient’s, TB treatment supervisor’s and health worker’s perceptions about home-based DOT Methods: A quantitative, observational study combined with qualitative in-depth interviews. Participants were selected from TB patients who attended treatment from January 2006 till June 2008 at all main clinics of Kweneng West Subdistrict, Botswana. The interview purposively selected health care workers, TB patients and community supervisors to establish their thoughts about HB DOT. A framework approach was used to analyse interviews. Results: Treatment outcomes and, particularly, the cure rates were not statistically different between FB DOT, HB DOT and MX DOT. However there was a surprisingly difference in contact tracing, with FB DOT performing better than other DOT types. Interviews revealed that patients were happy with their choice of DOT types. Among reasons to choose HB DOT was the need to shorten distances for DOT. Among reasons to choose FB DOT were the needs to ensure safety through supervision by nurses as opposed to lay people (community supervisors) and to obtain injections that no community supervisor is allowed to administer. A mix of HB DOT and FB DOT was generally adopted to allow flexibility in the administration of DOT for few patients. Overall cure rate was 78.5% and successful treatment rate was 83%. Conclusion: The introduction of HB DOT and the option given to choose this DOT type is supported. Indeed allowing patient’s preference of DOT type may impact positively on patients’ satisfaction and adherence to medication. On the other hand, issues were still raised by all stakeholders to help improve the flexibility and sustainability of HB DOT. Further studies may be needed to understand the better performance of FB DOT in contact tracing.

Full textPurpose: Screening of young children exposed to tuberculosis (TB) in a household setting is widely recommended, but rarely implemented in some endemic countries. The aim of this study was to screen household under five children who have been exposed to smear-positive pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) of adult cases; to explore and describe the initial follow-up of these children by the Kweneng district health care system; and to determine clinical outcomes (occurrence of TB disease and latent tuberculosis infection) among those children. Methods and procedures: In a nested case-control type study design, under 5 years child contacts of 200 randomly selected adult smear positive pulmonary TB patients, were enrolled and evaluated for TB infection and disease. Risk factors were compared between those with TB and those without TB. Data was collected during the study period (December 2005 through November 2006) through face-to-face interviews using a pre-designed data collection tool. Child contacts were then investigated at their respective nearest health facility using Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), clinical examination, and chest x-ray (CXR). Finally child contacts were diagnosed as follow: No TB, Latent Tuberculosis Infection (LTBI), or TB disease. We defined LTBI as having a TST ≥10 mm at 48–72 hours. Major results: A total of 497 child contacts were recruited, of which 278 (55.9% [95%CI: 51.4% - 60.3%]) and 219 (44.1% [95%CI: 39.7% - 48.6%]) were respectively girls and boys both in age group: 0-24 months: 51 (10.3% [95% CI: 7.8% - 13.4%]) and 25-59 months: 446 (89.7% [95% CI: 86.6% - 92.2%]). Among all children 19 (3.8% [95% CI: 2.4% - 6.0%]) were found not vaccinated. The duration of exposure to TB case ranged from 1 to 4 months; and the social proximity of child contact to TB case was as follow: 185 (37.2% [95%CI: 33.0% - 41.7%]) were first degree relatives, 304 (61.2% [95%CI:56.7% - 65.4%]) distant relatives, and 8 (1.6% [95%CI: 0.8% - 3.3%]) child contacts were not related to the cases. The respondent dissatisfaction rate about TB screening (follow-up) by the health care system was 163 (81.50%). Of 497 child contacts, 104 (20.9% [95%CI: 17.5% - 24.8%]) were initially screened for TB at the time the TB index cases were diagnosed. 163 (81.5% [95%CI: 75.4% - 86.6%]) respondents were dissatisfied about the initial follow-up and screening of child contacts by the health care system. Among all 497 child contacts evaluated at the time of this study, LTBI prevalence rate was 35.0% [95%CI: 30.8% - 39.4%], and the prevalence of TB disease was 3.4% [95% CI: 2.1% - 5.5%]. Under five children who had been screened initially were less likely to have TB infection or disease identified during the evaluation by this study, than those who had not been screened (OR=0.296, X2 = 20.202, p < 0.001) by Kweneng health care system. Main Conclusions: This is the first comprehensive household TB contact tracing in under five children exposed to smear positive TB from adult cases in the rural Botswana. The study found that health care services in Kweneng were not adequately implementing TB contact tracing of household under five children. When children were followed up during this study, we documented a high prevalence rate of TB infection and disease among child contacts who had not been followed up and screened for TB by the health system. This not only suggests that under five child living in the same household with an adult TB case in rural Botswana is at high risk of LTBI and active TB disease; but it also evidently supports the benefice and importance of household contact tracing in enhancing case finding and prevention of tuberculosis disease (Triasih, 2015). Recommendations: A scale-up of targeted household contacts tracing for under five children followed by appropriate management can enhance early case detection and lower the risk of TB transmission among under five children. A targeted tuberculosis contact tracing with an emphasis on younger children should be made a priority by the Botswana National TB Programme (BNTP). The policy needs to clarify who is responsible and accountable for TB contact tracing services. The gap between guidelines and practice, and the human resource capacity should be addressed. An improved training of TB care providers on guidelines in Kweneng district will be important in strengthening TB contact tracing. Key words: Contact tracing, household, tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis infection, index case, child contact, under five child, follow-up, preventive therapy, TST, CXR.

Full textBackground: School children are mostly affected by diarrhoeal and respiratory infections and these are related to lack of proper hand washing. For children to be able to practice proper hand washing, they must have the knowledge and necessary resources to practice hand washing. The study’s purpose was therefore to establish the knowledge and practice of hand washing among primary school children. Purpose: The study’s aim was to assess the knowledge and practices of hand washing among primary school children in Kweneng Central Sub-District. Methods: A quantitative approach using a self-administered structured questionnaire to collect data regarding knowledge and practices on hand washing among primary school children was used. An observation checklist was also used to assess the practice of hand washing among primary school children. A stratified random sampling method was used to come up with a sample size of 330. SPSS 24.0 version was used to analyse the data. Results: The study revealed that the majority of primary school children had knowledge on hand washing but lacked proper hand washing practices. The results also showed that hand washing knowledge and practice among primary school children had no association with their age and gender. However, there was association between washing hands after going to the toilet and gender as well as the availability of bucket/basin to wash hands and gender. Conclusion: Children spend much of their day time at school; therefore schools are the right institutions to impart hand washing information and emphasise the importance of hand washing to the children. The availability of facilities such as clean water and soap are paramount to the facilitation of hand washing among primary school children and as such should be adequately provided in schools. Keywords: Hand washing, knowledge, practice, children, primary school.
