Abstract:
Uganda is a landlocked developing country in East Africa with an estimated population of 24.8 million people (2002 census). At independence (in 1962) Uganda was a very prosperous and stable country, with enviable medical services in the region. This, however, was destroyed by a tyrant military regime and the subsequent civil wars up to 1986, when the current government took over the reigns of power.

Abstract:
SummaryThis paper describes a link between a mental health trust (the East London Foundation Trust (ELFT)) in the UK and mental health services in Uganda which has developed since 2004. the aim of the link was to help support the development of mental health services in Uganda by establishing an educational partnership. During the first 3 years, nine staff from ELFT and nine staff from Butabika, from a variety of disciplines, have made short-term exchange visits. Evaluation of the link has demonstrated that benefits have been experienced in both London and Uganda. Such links can provide one way of strategically supporting and strengthening existing health services in low- and middle-income countries.

Abstract:
In Uganda, over 1.3 million refugees have fled armed conflicts from neighbouring countries, with about 251 730 refugees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone. In this article we report on a qualitative research study on the help-seeking behaviour of Congolese male refugee survivors of conflict-related sexual violence (CRSV) living in Kampala, Uganda. We recruited 10 Congolese male survivors of war-related rape and 6 Ugandan service providers (psychologists, social workers and physicians) who participated in individual interviews focused on barriers and facilitators to care seeking in Kampala, Uganda. We found that the major barriers to help-seeking were socio-cultural and political factors, health system and infrastructural barriers, poverty and livelihood barriers, physical effects of CRSV, fear of marital disharmony and breakup, and self-sufficiency The major facilitators were social support, symptom severity, professionalism among service providers, availability of free tailored services and information, education and communication. On the basis of our findings, we recommend that a multidisciplinary and multisectoral approach is important to address these barriers. In addition, we suggest that the Ugandan government should develop legislation and health policies to create protection for men who have experienced sexual violence.Keywords: armed conflict; conflict-related sexual violence; male refugee survivors; help-seeking; physical and mental health; barriers; and facilitators

Abstract:
The aims of this study were to establish the feasibility and effectiveness of training Ugandan mental health workers in the management of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) based on guidelines from the UK National Institute of Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE). The Butabika Link is a mental health partnership between the East London Foundation NHS Trust (ELFT) and Butabika National Psychiatric Referral Hospital, Kampala, Uganda, supported by the Tropical Health Education Trust (THET), and based on the recommendations of the Crisp report (Crisp, 2007). The Link has worked on the principle that the most effective partnership between high-income and low- or middle-income countries is through organisations already delivering healthcare, that is, through the support of existing services. Butabika Hospital is a centre of excellence, serving an entire nation of 30 million people, many of them recovering from 20 years of armed conflict that took place mainly in the north of Uganda. In addition, Uganda has received refugees from conflicts in neighbouring states, including Congo, Rwanda, Kenya, Sudan and Burundi. The Ugandan Ministry of Health's Strategic Plan (2000) has prioritised post-conflict mental disorders and domestic violence, which is reflected in the vision of the Link's work.

Abstract:
Uganda, in common with many countries in sub-Saharan Africa, has many population risk factors predictive of high levels of mental disorder but poor coverage of mental healthcare (Kigozi, 2005). Recent population studies conducted in Uganda have shown rates of disorder in excess of 20% (Kasoro et al, 2002; Bolton et al, 2004; Ovuga et al, 2005) and the survey by Kasoro et al (2002) showed a high prevalence of patients with severe mental illness and poor access to services. There are 19 psychiatrists for 24.8 million people in Uganda, all but one of whom is based in the capital city, Kampala (Kigozi, 2005). The provision of mental health services relies on the use of psychiatric clinical officers (a cadre of trained mental health workers, similar to community psychiatric nurses, who currently cover 18 of the 56 districts in Uganda), primary care personnel, non-governmental organisations and members of the community. Liaison with traditional healers is encouraged (Ovuga et al, 1999).

Abstract:
Background: The current level of alcohol consumption has placed Nigeria and Uganda in the group of high consumption countries, however little is known about how people with problematic alcohol use and related problems utilize treatment services. Aims: This study examined the relationship between alcohol consumption and mental health status in Nigeria and Uganda, and the relationship between heavy episodic drinking and treatment-seeking and treatment-receiving behavior. Data and methods: Analyses were based on cross-sectional survey data from Nigeria (N= 2018) and Uganda (N=1478) aged > 18 years from the 2003 Gender, Alcohol, and Culture: An International Study (GENACIS). Results: In both countries, the level of alcohol consumption was comparatively high, however, associations between drinking status and mental health problems were found only in Nigeria. Heavy episodic drinkers were more likely to report having sought help in both countries, only in Nigeria was it also related to ever receiving help. Conclusion: National strategies in both countries must continue allocation of resources to treatment services, supporting treatment availability and early identification of alcohol and related mental health problems. Implementation of national alcohol policies should be followed up with assessment and adjustments.

Abstract:
Mental health disorders account for a heavy disease burden in Uganda. In order to provide culturally appropriate mental health prevention and treatment approaches, it is necessary to understand how mental health is conceptualized in the population. Three focus group discussions (FGDs) and 31 in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted with men and women aged 14 to 62 years residing in rural, urban, and semi-urban low-income communities in central and western Uganda to explore perceptions and knowledge of mental health. Interpretive thematic analysis was undertaken; results were organized through the lens of the mental health literacy framework. Environmental and societal stressors were identified as primary underlying causes of poor mental health. While participants recognized symptoms of poor mental health, gaps in mental health literacy also emerged. Mental health resources are needed in this setting and additional qualitative work assessing knowledge and attitudes toward mental health care seeking behavior can inform the development of acceptable integrated services.

Abstract:
Aims and methodA cross-sectional, interview survey of the beliefs, knowledge, attitudes and practice towards mental illness of 29 traditional healers in the Pallisa district of Uganda was carried out.ResultsMany of the healers had experienced emotional problems that had been treated by other healers. Almost all had a family member who was also a traditional healer. They treated a wide range of conditions and all dealt with mental illness. Most believed that mental disorders were caused by supernatural processes. Many recognised the role of environmental agents. Their diagnosis and management of mental illness was eclectic. The healers were either traditional herbalists or spirit diviners or a mixture of both. Almost all referred patients to the district hospitals and were willing to work with government health services.Clinical implicationsThe results of the survey suggest the presence of fertile ground on which to build cooperation between traditional healers and medical services. Such cooperation may harness primary care resources more effectively. Sequential or simultaneous models of collaboration (or combinations of both) may be considered. Further work on specific treatments, their outcomes and the evaluation of collaborative models is needed.

Abstract:
Aims and MethodThe study examined the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in people with HIV/AIDS attending the AIDS Support Organisation (TASO) clinic at Mulago Hospital, Kampala, Uganda and the preparedness of AIDS counsellors to deal with mental disorders. Forty-six patients were interviewed using the Mini International Psychiatric Interview to ascertain DSM–IV diagnoses. All 15 counsellors working at the clinic were interviewed.ResultsThe total prevalence of psychiatric disorder was 82.6 (38 out of 46 patients). Depressive and anxiety disorders were common. Non-affective psychoses were present in eight patients (17.4%), bipolar affective disorder in eight (17.4%) and major depression with melancholic features in five (10.9%); 8 (13%) had current suicidal thoughts. None of the people with psychiatric disorders were receiving mental health treatment. The prevalence of disorder as estimated by the counsellors ranged from 0 to 33%. Only one counsellor had received any formal training in mental disorders and only two thought that they could deal with these if they arose. The attitudes of counsellors towards people with mental disorders were mixed, but most believed that they should be trained to provide care.Clinical ImplicationsThere is a need to provide additional mental health services to the TASO clinic through appropriate training of TASO counsellors to improve their awareness of psychiatric disorders, delivery of some psychological therapies and liaison with the psychiatric services at Mulago Hospital, in addition to public mental health education. The psychiatric disorders experienced by those attending the clinic might put them at greater risk of contracting HIV/AIDS.

Abstract This study examines the level and distribution of service costs—and their association with functional impairment at baseline and over time—for persons with mental disorder receiving integrated primary mental health care. The study was conducted over a 12-month follow-up period in five low- and middle-income countries participating in the Programme for Improving Mental health carE study (Ethiopia, India, Nepal, South Africa and Uganda). Data were drawn from a multi-country intervention cohort study, made up of adults identified by primary care providers as having alcohol use disorders, depression, psychosis and, in the three low-income countries, epilepsy. Health service, travel and time costs, including any out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures by households, were calculated (in US dollars for the year 2015) and assessed at baseline as well as prospectively using linear regression for their association with functional impairment. Cohort samples were characterized by low levels of educational attainment (Ethiopia and Uganda) and/or high levels of unemployment (Nepal, South Africa and Uganda). Total health service costs per case for the 3 months preceding baseline assessment averaged more than US$20 in South Africa, $10 in Nepal and US$3–7 in Ethiopia, India and Uganda; OOP expenditures ranged from $2 per case in India to $16 in Ethiopia. Higher service costs and OOP expenditure were found to be associated with greater functional impairment in all five sites, but differences only reached statistical significance in Ethiopia and India for service costs and India and Uganda for OOP expenditure. At the 12-month assessment, following initiation of treatment, service costs and OOP expenditure were found to be lower in Ethiopia, South Africa and Uganda, but higher in India and Nepal. There was a pattern of greater reduction in service costs and OOP spending for those whose functional status had improved in all five sites, but this was only statistically significant in Nepal.

Abstract:
Reports of people with mental disorders without access to treatment are a major occurrence in prisons outside and within Africa. An estimated 450 000 000 people worldwide suffer from mental or behavioural disorders. The disproportionately high rate of mental disorders in prisons is due to several factors. The factors include the widespread misconception that all persons with mental disorders are a danger to the public; the general intolerance of many societies to difficult or disturbing behaviour, the failure to promote treatment, care and rehabilitation, and above all the lack of or poor access to mental health services in many countries. Many of these disorders may be present before admission to prison and may be further exacerbated by the stress of imprisonment. However mental disorders may develop during imprisonment itself as a consequence of prevailing conditions.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The growing burden of mental illnesses in low- and middle-income countries, such as Uganda, necessitates effective interventions to promote mental and social well-being among their populations. Mood disorders contribute more substantially to the global burden of mental illnesses than do other forms of mental disorders. The substantial global burden of mental illnesses is projected to grow more rapidly in low- and middle-income countries than in high-income countries in the future. Because experiences of and responses to mood disorders are invariably patterned by social and cultural contexts, as argued in the growing field of cross-cultural psychiatry, health care systems, especially in low- and middle-income countries, need to design and deliver culturally relevant interventions that effectively deal with this problem. However, there is generally a paucity of suitable evidence to guide the planning and delivery of such interventions in countries like Uganda. As a response to the apparent knowledge and research gaps regarding experiences of mood disorders and care in Western Uganda, I conducted a qualitative study involving outpatients and their care providers, that is, outpatients’ families, psychiatric health workers, religious healers and traditional healers. Using purposive and snow ball sampling techniques, I selected participants, that is, outpatients as well as psychiatric health workers, outpatients’ families, religious healers and traditional healers involved in the care of the outpatients from the Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH) and the “Greater Mbarara” region, respectively. The aim of this study is to explore explanatory models that outpatients and care providers in Western Uganda use in responding to mood disorders. I analysed the data collected in the fieldwork using ATLAS.ti 6.2, a computer-software programme designed to support qualitative data analysis. Results from the study indicate that outpatients and their care providers hold complex, diverse and contradictory explanatory models regarding mood disorders and care, which are shaped by their unique social and cultural contexts. Additionally, poor relationships and communication between patients and their care providers, especially between outpatients and psychiatric health workers, are strongly evident; structural barriers significantly hinder the provision and utilisation of care; care is generally inadequate, although it is conceptualised broadly to include biomedical, popular and folk treatments; and outpatients generally exhibit inconsequential (weak) agency in managing distress, which is primarily caused by mood disorders and care-seeking challenges. The results of the current study suggest several implications regarding mental health practice, training, policy and research.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Weens die toenemende geestesiektelas in lae- en middelinkomstelande soos Uganda word intervensies vereis om die geestelike en maatskaplike welsyn van die bevolkings van daardie lande te bevorder. Gemoedsteurings maak ’n groter deel van die wêreldwye geestesiektelas uit as ander vorme van geestesongesteldheid. Die beduidende wêreldwye geestesiektelas sal in die toekoms na verwagting vinniger in lae- en middelinkomstelande as in hoë-inkomstelande toeneem. Aangesien ervarings van én reaksies op gemoedsteurings meestal deur maatskaplike en kulturele kontekste beïnvloed word, soos die groeiende dissipline van transkulturele psigiatrie beweer, moet gesondheidsorgstelsels, veral dié in lae- en middelinkomstelande, kultureel tersaaklike intervensies ontwerp en voorsien wat hierdie probleem doeltreffend hanteer. Tog is daar oor die algemeen ’n skaarste aan geskikte bewyse om die beplanning en voorsiening van sulke intervensies in lande soos Uganda te rig. In antwoord op die klaarblyklike kennis- en navorsingsleemtes met betrekking tot ervarings van gemoedsteurings en sorg in Wes-Uganda het ek ’n kwalitatiewe studie onder buitepasiënte en hul versorgers – met ander woorde hul familie, psigiatriese gesondheidswerkers, geloofsgenesers en tradisionele genesers – onderneem. Die steekproef het bestaan uit pasiënte en hul familielede, psigiatriese gesondheidswerkers sowel as geloofs- en tradisionele genesers wat gemoeid is met die versorging van buitepasiënte by die streeksverwysingshospitaal Mbarara (MRRH) én in die Mbarara-distrik onderskeidelik. Die doel met die studie was om te verken watter verklarende modelle pasiënte en versorgers in Wes-Uganda gebruik om op gemoedsteurings te reageer. Die data wat met die veldwerk ingesamel is, is ontleed met behulp van die rekenaarsagteware ATLAS.ti 6.2, wat ontwerp is om kwalitatiewe dataontleding te ondersteun. Die resultate van die studie toon dat buitepasiënte en hul versorgers oor komplekse, uiteenlopende en teenstellende verklarende modelle met betrekking tot gemoedsteurings en sorg beskik, wat deur hul unieke maatskaplike en kulturele kontekste gevorm word. My navorsing dui daarop dat swak verhoudings en kommunikasie tussen pasiënte en hul versorgers, veral tussen buitepasiënte en psigiatriese gesondheidswerkers, aan die orde van die dag is; dat strukturele versperrings die voorsiening en benutting van sorg beduidend verhinder; dat sorg oor die algemeen onvoldoende is, hoewel dit volgens die algemene begrip biomediese, populêre én volksbehandelings insluit, en dat buitepasiënte meestal ontoereikende (swak) vermoëns toon om nood wat uit gemoedsteurings en uitdagings in die soeke na sorg spruit, te hanteer. Die studie sit uiteindelik ook verskeie belangrike implikasies vir geestesgesondheidspraktyke, -opleiding, -beleid en -navorsing uiteen.

Abstract:
Decentralization of health services in Uganda, driven by the structural adjustment programme of the World Bank, was embraced by government as a means to change the health institutional structure and process delivery of health services in the country. Arising from the decentralization process, the transfer of power concerning functions from the top administrative hierachy in health service provision to lower levels, constitutes a major shift in management, philosophy, infrastructure development, communication as well as other functional roles by actors at various levels of health care. This study focused its investigation on ways and levels to which the process of decentralization of health service delivery has attained efficient and effective provision of health services. The study also examined the extent to which the shift of health service provision has influenced the role of local jurisdictions and communities. Challenges faced by local government leaders in planning and raising funds in response to decentralized health serdelivery were examined.

Abstract:
There is a sound evidence base on the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcome in psychotherapy for adults. In comparison, there is a smaller amount of literature on the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcomes for adolescents. Adolescents rarely are seen individually for therapy and instead are often seen by family therapists as part of a system with other members of the family. At present, it is uncertain what the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcome for adolescents in family therapy are. This paper presents a systematic review that aims to investigate the effects of the therapeutic alliance on outcome in adolescents in family therapy and what factors influence the therapeutic alliance with adolescents in family therapy. A systematic review of electronic databases was carried out using a quality assurance checklist adapted from the American Academy of Neurology Clinical Practice Guidelines (2004). This checklist was used as it assessed aspects of the studies’ theoretical basis, design, measures, analysis and results. Eleven studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. The findings of this review suggest that the therapeutic alliance affects outcome for adolescents in family therapy. The presence of identifiable features of the therapeutic alliance, such as task, goal and bond can strengthen the therapeutic alliance with adolescents. Research into this area is still in its preliminary stages. However, important factors have been identified that affect outcome. Further research is necessary before more substantial claims of the therapeutic alliance on outcome can be made. The limitations of this review are presented, followed by clinical, training and supervision implications and suggestions for future research.

Full text
Abstract:
Policy initiatives are calling for mental health services to change their ways of working to prioritising the promotion of service users’ personal recovery. This requires a major re-negotiation of working practices and the relationship between service users and staff/services and their respective social positions. Preliminary research has shown that change has been problematic. The present study aimed to explore the construction of recovery and the positioning of service users and staff during the adoption of recovery-oriented practices in a community support and recovery team. Transcripts of two rounds of focus groups with service users (n=9) and staff (n=5) held six months apart, service user care plans and Recovery Star notes were analysed using a Foucauldian Discourse Analysis. The study found that recovery was constructed as clinical/medical and personal recovery, at different times and in tension with each other. These constructions positioned service users as dependent, passive and hopeless or empowered and hopeful, and staff as helpless or facilitative. It was also apparent that a discourse of personal recovery was not available to service users. Staff oscillated between the constructions of recovery as medical and personal resulting in different subject positions and opportunities for action. The study concluded that adopting a recovery-orientation in services should lead to service users being positioned as more influential in decisions about their treatment and modes of support from the service, and services less likely to dictate their treatment. However, this can only happen if the recovery-orientation constitutes a widely shared discourse with all its assumptions and associated practices. The problematic aspects of the medical discourse and how it can position people socially and how those positions impact on the potential for personal recovery needs to be highlighted.

Full text
Abstract:
Sharing lived experience of mental health experiences by mental health practitioners is a topic of increasing relevance in statutory UK mental health settings, in part because of the rise in recent years of the employment of peer workers who share their lived experience by default. Literature to date has suggested that self-disclosure can have a range of benefits and risks, but existing studies have tended to focus on general rather than mental health disclosure, have not taken place in statutory settings, have studied a narrow section of the workforce, or have used analogue methodology. The current study used quantitative and qualitative methods through surveys and focus groups to explore statutory UK mental health practitioners’ and service-users’ views about the helpfulness of sharing personal mental health lived experience versus other types of lived experience. Service-users indicated that personal mental health lived experience was the most helpful disclosure topic, was valued when disclosed by all types of qualified practitioner, but it was shared least often. Practitioners who rate disclosure as helpful may be more reflective than practitioners who rate disclosure as unhelpful. Practitioners may be deterred from disclosing by a range of pressures, including risk of negative disclosure effects; adherence to therapeutic models; negative judgements from colleagues; pre-qualifying training; and perceived direction from professional codes of conduct and ethics. Despite perceived risks associated with hypothetical disclosure, most practitioners disclosed to some extent. Respondents gave almost 500 examples of real life disclosures which were almost exclusively helpful. It is recommended that practitioners are afforded greater autonomy, respect and permission to make decisions about disclosure without fear of judgment about professionalism. Training and guidance may be beneficial to help practitioners make best use of disclosures in statutory mental health service delivery.

Abstract:
Despite older adolescence being a risk period for the development of mental health concerns, mental health service engagement is low amongst 16-18 year olds. As therapeutic attendance is linked to clinical outcome, it is important to understand engagement in this population. There is a paucity of research looking specifically at the older adolescent engagement phenomenon. Previous qualitative research into adolescent experiences has provided rich and detailed results. Ten 16-18 years olds, engaged in Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, were recruited from two London-based services. Each young person was interviewed in order to understand their personal experience of engaging in mental health services. Interviews were transcribed and underwent Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Analysis produced twelve subthemes subsumed within five superordinate themes: engagement begins at help seeking, strength of inner resolve, evolution of the self, in the clinic room, and, existing within service walls: physical and policy-based boundaries. Themes are discussed in detail. Conclusions are drawn in relation to previous theory and research. When considering 16-18 year understandings of the engagement phenomena, key elements include: clinician and service developmental appropriateness, negotiation of developmental tasks in relation to engagement, experience of the physical building environment, and awareness of service policy limitations. Suggestions for clinical practice in relation to engagement facilitators and threat are made, and recommendations for future research proposed.
