Abstract:

Despite the large body of research on idioms of distress in anthropology and transcultural psychiatry, few scholars have examined the concepts that people use to describe social and psychological resilience. The experience of social and psychological resilience is embedded in and shaped by social, political, and economic contexts—much like the factors that shape idioms of distress. As resilience literature more broadly has adopted a socio-ecological rather than trait-based approach, anthropology has much to contribute. This article investigates what idioms of resilience and cultural scripts em

Abstract:

In an attempt to avoid reproducing apartheid ideology, some South African psychologists have tended to minimize cultural differences and emphasize universalism. Relativism and universalism in practice, though, are closely intertwined as an analysis of some local transcultural psychiatry literature shows. Similarly, racist and nonracist mental health care occur together in certain contexts. The development of less racist mental health care in South Africa will depend not solely on the rejection of racism but also on the recognition that traditions of racism are woven into the fabric of care.

Abstract:

Obstetric medicine as a speciality is yet to be developed in South Africa. South Africa is regarded as a developing country. The burden of HIV and metabolic syndrome creates a need for advanced maternal care. An increase has been noted in hypertension and gestational diabetes due to increasing maternal age and increasing prevalence of obesity. The South African National Committee on Confidential Enquiry into Maternal Deaths’ 2015 Saving Mothers Report identified non-pregnancy-related infections as the leading cause of maternal deaths. Obstetric medicine care includes pre-conception, antepartum

Abstract:

Health care in South Africa is undergoing substantial changes with rising pressure on both the public and private sectors. Medical inflation has been soaring rendering healthcare increasingly unaffordable and medical schemes have had to adapt their traditional business models. This paper looks at the current structure of the healthcare market; it examines the new legislation introduced by government, and assesses future directions of healthcare in South Africa.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Women refugees are mostly affected due to their specific needs for reproductive health services. In their attempt to utilize reproductive health care services, women refugees face medical xenophobia by the health care professionals. Upon their arrival in South Africa, refugee women do not undergo any screening, and this exposes them to health risks making them more prone to all different types of diseases, as many of them are survivors of rape and other acts of sexual violence.   OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study was to describe the voices of women refugees regarding repr

Abstract:

General Practitioners (GPs) serve as a gatekeeper function in many healthcare systems. Cost containment strategies in the health care ecosystem usually focus on the role of GPs as the point of entry. The healthcare expenditure as the proportion of total healthcare spent on medical schemes in South Africa has been declining over time. This could be attributed to a shift in benefit design and product development employed by schemes. The aim of this study was to investigate GP health spending by medical schemes, the average spent per GP visit, the level of co-payment that members are subjected to

Abstract:

AbstractIntroduction:Triage - the sorting of patients according to urgency of need for clinical care - is an essential part of delivering effective and efficient emergency care. But when frequent over- or under-triaging occurs, finite time and resources are diverted away from those in greatest need of care and the entire Emergency Medical Services (EMS) system is strained. In resource-constrained settings, such as South Africa, poor triage in EMS only serves to compound other contextual challenges. This study examined the accuracy of dispatcher triage over a one-year period in the Western Cape

Abstract:

Intravenous fluids are an essential component of patient care, but a 2013 National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guideline noted that inappropriate prescribing or administration may lead to actual or potential patient harm in up to 20% of patients.1 This project aimed to improve prescribing documentation and communication between nurses and doctors regarding intravenous fluid management. This was done through the introduction of a fluid chart, in combination with teaching on appropriate fluid management. It was initiated within the medical department of Cecelia Makiwane Hospi
