Abstract:

Background: Mothers living with HIV are at risk for mental health problems, which may have a negative impact on the management of their HIV condition and care of their children. Although South Africa has a high prevalence of HIV, there is a dearth of studies on sociodemographic predictors of postnatal depression (PND) among HIV-positive women in South Africa, even in KwaZulu Natal, a province with the highest prevalence of HIV in the country. Objective: The objective of the study was to determine sociodemographic factors associated with the prevalence of postnatal depression symptoms among a sample of HIV-positive women attending health services from primary healthcare facilities in Umhlathuze District, KwaZulu Natal. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was used to collect data from 386 HIV-positive women who had infants aged between 1 and 12 weeks. The Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPNDS), to which sociodemographic questions were added, was used to collect data. Results: The prevalence of PND symptoms among this sample of 386 HIV-positive women was 42.5%. The age of the mothers ranged from 16 to 42 years, with a mean of 29 years. The majority of the mothers were single or never married (85.5%; n = 330), living in a rural setting (81.9%; n = 316%), with a household income of less than R 2000 (estimated 125 USD) per month (64.9%; n = 120). The government child support grant was the main source of income for most of the mothers (53%; n = 183). PND symptoms were significantly associated with the participant’s partner having other sexual partners (p-value < 0.001), adverse life events (p-value = 0.001), low monthly income (p-value = 0.015), and being financially dependent on others (p-value = 0.023). Conclusion: The prevalence of PND symptoms among the sample is high, with a number of social and demographic factors found to be significantly associated with PND. This requires the consideration of sociodemographic information in the overall management of both HIV and postnatal depression. Addressing the impact of these factors can positively influence the health outcomes of both the mother and the baby.

Abstract:

This paper focuses on the criminal activities which have been identified as hindering and crippling the tourism industry at uMhlathuze Local Municipality in the KwaZulu-Natal Province, South Africa. The main aim of the study was to establish if any mechanisms are in place to curb crime and enhance the safety of tourists within the study area. A structured questionnaire survey and face-to-face interviews were used to collect data. The study used a convenience sampling method to select 124 participants, from different parts of the study area. The results indicate that even though there are some mechanisms in place criminal activities continue occurring in and around uMhlathuze Local Municipality. Some of these criminal activities are not reported to the local authorities and are not known by the community members and thus downplayed. This study recommends that organizations such as Tourism KwaZulu-Natal that are responsible for marketing and promoting tourism, together with uMhlathuze Local Municipality tourism support officers should bring some safety measures and crime tourism awareness by organizing workshops and seminars related to tourist’s safety and security at different towns and villages of the local municipality, targeting youths.

Abstract:

Whereas industrial growth is instrumental in unlocking poverty and advancing development, often, the effect of pollution on the environment, particularly air quality, is seldom accurately predicted. The effects, which include mortality, morbidity, and loss of productive time, are demonstrated later after the damage is done. The views of the pollution-exposed public in industrialised centres is important to ascertain if policy intervention is enhancing environmental protection for all and justice by extension. Through an online survey, 215 residents of the rapidly industrialising Richards Bay and surrounding areas in South Africa responded to the questions about their perceptions of air quality and recommendations to improve air quality management. Results indicate a concern over air quality with most residents perceiving the air quality as fair or poor. Industrial emission was cited as the leading cause of pollution followed by sugar cane and agrarian burning. Irritation of the ear, nose and throat, as well as sneezing and coughing, were the health effects experienced by residents for which air pollution can be partly attributed. The public recommends an improvement in air quality monitoring, consequence management, technology and public transport system. In addition, they recommended the introduction of air quality offsets, incentives schemes, more public involvement, coordinated planning and better collaboration as a recipe for success in air quality management.

Abstract:

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the world in extra-ordinarily negative ways. Its impact has been felt in government circles, families, communities and churches globally. Spiritual leadership together with church members or congregants has also suffered a great deal. The pandemic has successfully disorganized societies and religious communities. Its spiritual impact has been felt by church leaders and congregants alike. This study investigated the spiritual impact COVID-19 has imposed on church leadership and congregants. It also explores how some church leaders performed their pastoral ministry under COVID-19 conditions. To achieve the set objective, a qualitative methodology and interpretive paradigm were adopted. In-depth individual interviews with church leaders and church members from Christian churches were used to inform the study. Ten churches that operate within the Esikhaleni raternity, in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, under uMhlathuze municipality participated in the data generation process. The study comprised a sample size of four church leaders and eight church members from ten churches. A total number of 12 twelve heterogeneous individual participants were purposively selected. Findings revealed that the prevalence of COVID-19 led to lockdown restrictions and as such, church house closure impacted the church family positively as well as negatively. The study recommends that church leaders be proactive in accommodating change and equip their congregants accordingly. Secondly, churches should adapt to multi-staff ministry where lay people are actively involved in educating congregants about pandemics in general and how to cope spiritually. Third, it is argued church leadership should embrace virtual and internet ministry so as to continue to offer spiritual support to congregants.

Abstract:

Background: Refractive errors and convergence insufficiency play major roles in reading efficiency. Uncorrected refractive errors are a primary cause of binocular anomalies, including convergence insufficiency. Symptoms of asthenopia in both refractive and binocular vision anomalies are similar. Despite the relationships that exist between them, the extent of association between refractive errors and convergence insufficiency has not been studied extensively.Aim: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of convergence insufficiency and refractive errors and investigate their associations with gender and age in a sample of high school children.Methods: The study design was cross-sectional and comprised data from 1056 African high school students aged 13–18 years, who were randomly selected from 13 high schools in uMhlathuze municipality in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. In the final sample, 403 (38%) were males and 653 (62%) were females. The participants’ mean age and standard deviation were 15.89 ± 1.58 years and median age was 16 years. Refractive errors, heterophoria, near point of convergence, fusional vergences and accommodative functions were evaluated.Results: Prevalences for convergence insufficiency were as follows: low suspect 12.4% (confidence interval, [CI] 10.2–14.4), high suspect 6.3% (CI, 5.0–7.9), definite 4.6% (CI, 3.4–5.9), and pseudo-convergence insufficiency 2.1% (CI, 1.2–3.0). Refractive errors were: hyperopia 6.8% (CI, 5.3–8.4), myopia 6.0% (CI, 4.6–7.5), astigmatism 2.3% (CI, 1.8–3.2), anisometropia 1.3% (CI, 0.7–2.0) and emmetropia 86.2% (CI, 85.1–89.1). There were no significant associations between convergence insufficiency and gender (p = 0.32), age (p = 0.38), grade levels (p = 0.99) or refractive errors (p = 0.08).Conclusion: The prevalence of clinically significant convergence insufficiency and refractive errors was low in this sample of black high school students in South Africa, and there was no significant correlation between them.

Abstract:

Background: Heterophoria is an error of binocular alignment that manifests only during monocular viewing or in conditions that disrupt binocular vision. Heterophoria is compensated for by fusional vergence through a mechanism that involves both sensory and motor fusion. The distribution of heterophoria has not been studied extensively in schoolchildren in South Africa and studies quantifying the magnitude of association between heterophoria and fusional vergences are scarce.Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of heterophoria and investigate its associations with fusional vergences and refractive errors.Methods: This was a cross-sectional study design and comprised data from 1056 high school students aged 13–18 years, who were randomly selected from 13 out of a sample frame of 60 high schools in uMhlathuze municipality in the province of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The sample comprised 403 (38%) males and 653 (62%) females. The participants’ mean age was 15.89 ± 1.58 years. Visual acuity, refractive errors, heterophoria and fusional vergences were evaluated using conventional optometric techniques.Results: The overall prevalence of orthophoria at distance was 80.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 77.7% – 82.6%), that of exophoria was 13.9% (CI: 11.9% – 16.0%), while that of esophoria was 6.0% (CI: 4.5% – 7.4%). At near, the prevalence estimates were as follows: exophoria, 542 (51.3%, CI: 48.3% − 54.2%); orthophoria, 36.6% (CI: 33.9% − 39.5%); esophoria, 12.1% (CI: 10.2% − 14.0%). On the severities of near phoria, the frequencies were as follows: mild (1–7 prism dioptres [pd]), 41% (CI: 38.3% – 44.1%); moderate (8–13 pd), 9.7% (CI: 7.8% – 11.5%); and severe (> 13 pd), 1.1% (CI: 0.6% – 1.8%). For the severities of fusional vergences, the distributions were as follows: positive fusional vergences, mild (15–22 pd), 88.3% (CI: 86.4% – 90.4%); moderate (> 7 to < 15 pd), 10.1% (CI: 8.2% – 11.9%); and severe (≤ 7 pd), 1.6% (CI: 0.9% – 2.4%). For negative fusional vergences, the percentage of anomalous cases (≥ 22 pd) was 14.2% (CI: 12.3% – 16.3%), while that for normal (< 22) was 85.8% (CI: 83.7% – 87.7%). For vertical phoria, the prevalence was 2.7% and 3.6% at near. There was a weak but significant inverse correlation between near exophoria and positive fusional vergence break (r = −0.10, p = 0.01), whereas exophoria and negative fusional vergence break were positively correlated (r = 0.14, p = 0.01). Esophoria was inversely correlated with negative fusional vergence break values (r = 0.13, p= 0.01) and was positively correlated with positive fusional vergence break (r = 0.13, p = 0.03). Chi-square tests showed that exophoria was associated with astigmatism (p = 0.01), while esophoria was significantly associated with myopia (p = 0.01), astigmatism (p = 0.01) and anisometropia (p = 0.01).Conclusion: The data for far and near distance, horizontal and vertical heterophoria were not normally distributed. Orthophoria was most prevalent at far, exophoria at near and there was a significant association between phoria and fusional vergence. The significant associations between phoria and fusional vergence were at lower levels of fusional vergences.
