Abstract:

Sub-Saharan Africa is more affected by the HIV epidemic than any other region of the world. At the same time, malnutrition remains a major public health concern. HIV and malnutrition are interlinked, both epidemiologically and physiologically, contributing to high mortality and poor growth and development of children in sub-Saharan Africa. This thesis aims to explore the impact of HIV on the treatment and care of children with severe acute malnutrition in Malawi. The thesis will investigate mortality and nutritional recovery in HIV-infected and uninfected children with SAM; HIV infection and n

Abstract:

Magister Artium (Child and Family Studies) - MA(CFS)<br>Introduction: Malnutrition is the immediate result of inadequate dietary intake, the presence of disease or the interaction between these two factors. It is a complicated problem, an outcome of several etiologies. SAM is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality among children under the age of five in developing countries. Although studies in Botswana show some improvement in child malnutrition since the 1980s, severe acute malnutrition still remains a cause for concern in many parts of the country. There is little information

Abstract:

Severe acute malnutrition (SAM) affects approximately 13 million children under-five and is associated with over 1.5 million preventable child deaths each year. Case fatality rates in hospitals treating SAM remain at 20-30%, and coverage of those affected remains low. Training and support to improve centre-based management can reduce case fatality rates. However, an exclusive inpatient approach does not consider the many barriers to accessing treatment that exist for poor people in the developing world. Community-based therapeutic care (CTC) is a new approach for the management of SAM that use

Background: The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends the community-based Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) as a standard treatment protocol for the management of uncomplicated Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) at the community level.

The aim of this thesis was to assess the implementation and outcome of a scaled-up and integrated OTP service provided at community level.

Abstract:

Background: The effectiveness of community-based programmes to treat children suffering from Severe-Acute Malnutrition (SAM) is well documented following their implementation in emergency situations. However, little evidence exists to understand whether these programmes when implemented in non-emergency situation can also achieve successful outcomes. It is only recently (2007) that the community-based approach was approved by the WHO, and adopted by governments of developing countries to be implemented as part of routine health care services. Since then little or no organised research has expl

Abstract:

This thesis presents the results of a series of studies evaluating the potential of a short, low-cost intervention aiming to enhance the sensitivity of mothers of severely malnourished children in Ethiopia. The emotional stimulation (ES) intervention was integrated with the existing nutrition programme and delivered by local health workers and lay workers. There are five empirical chapters. 1) A pilot trial of the ES intervention, which demonstrated that it was feasible to implement the intervention in Ethiopia and provided preliminary evidence of the intervention’s potential. 2) A cluster ran

Abstract:

Death from hunger and starvation can be avoided with appropriate diagnosis and treatment if the necessary knowledge and resources are available. The current definitions of acute malnutrition are based either upon a weight-for-height Z-score (WHZ) below -2 standard deviations of the international reference population (World Health Organization 2006 Growth Standards) or a mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) lower than 125 mm. These indicators are used independently to define the sum of moderate and severe acute malnutrition, commonly referred to as global acute malnutrition (GAM). Severe acute ma
