BackgroundAnecdotal reports of people who are homeless being denied access and facing negative experiences of primary health care have often emerged. However, there is a dearth of research exploring this population’s views and experiences of such services.AimTo explore the perspectives of individuals who are homeless on the provision and accessibility of primary healthcare services.Design and settingA qualitative study with individuals who are homeless recruited from three homeless shelters and a specialist primary healthcare centre for the homeless in the West Midlands, England.MethodSemi-structured interviews were audiorecorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed using a thematic framework approach. The Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) was used to map the identified barriers in framework analysis.ResultsA total of 22 people who were homeless were recruited. Although some participants described facing no barriers, accounts of being denied registration at general practices and being discharged from hospital onto the streets with no access or referral to primary care providers were described. Services offering support to those with substance misuse issues and mental health problems were deemed to be excluding those with the greatest need. A participant described committing crimes with the intention of going to prison to access health care. High satisfaction was expressed by participants about their experiences at the specialist primary healthcare centre for people who are homeless (SPHCPH).ConclusionParticipants perceived inequality in access, and mostly faced negative experiences, in their use of mainstream services. Changes are imperative to facilitate access to primary health care, improve patient experiences of mainstream services, and to share best practices identified by participants at the SPHCPH.

IntroductionThe purpose of this study was to determine the hypertension control rate and its associated factors among treated patients attending a teaching primary healthcare centre in Jordan.Study designWe conducted a retrospective cohort study of 286 patients with HTN, treated with medications, who attended Jordan University of Science and Technology primary healthcare centre in Irbid, Jordan, from July through September 2018. Data were abstracted from the patient's medical records and personal interviews. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to examine independent factors associated with hypertension control.ResultsBlood pressure control rate was 90.9% and was significantly higher among patients who were married (p=0.02), with higher income level (p<0.01), non-smokers (p=0.01), free of diabetes mellitus or dyslipidaemia (p=0.048), highly consuming fruits and vegetables (p<0.01), non-obese (p<0.01), adherent to blood pressure medications (p=0.02) and among patients on lower number of antihypertensive medications (p=0.01). Multivariate analysis with adjusted OR of factors associated with hypertension control were higher fruit and vegetable intake (p<0.01), higher income level (p=0.02) and medication adherence (p<0.01).ConclusionParticipants in this study achieved a relatively high rate of blood pressure control. Associated factors with this rate were higher fruit and vegetable intake, higher income level and medication adherence. For better hypertension control, patients should be advised to adhere to their medications and consume more fruits and vegetables besides other lifestyle changes.

The Cost

Hypertension is a chronic disease that requires regular therapy to control blood pressure. The cost of treating hypertension can be measured by using a cost-of-illness analysis. The purpose of this study was to find out the total cost of treating hypertensive outpatients participating in BPJS (universal coverage). Who treated with Captopril for one year at the Banyuanyar primary healthcare centre in Sampang Regency. In a study by Baroroh and Sari (2017), hypertension treatment requires a large cost because it is carried out in a long time. Method this study used a non-random sampling technique with a purposive sampling method with criteria that have been determined by the researcher. This research conducted at Banyuanyar Health Center with total sample 40 people. The instrument used was a structured interview which was previously tested for content validity. The data were analyze by using Microsoft® Excel. The result of this study showed that the cost-of-illness for hypertensive patients for one year was Rp 36.140 to Rp 2.528.000. The total range of direct medical costs was Rp 36.140 to Rp 368.000 per patient, the range of direct non-medical costs was Rp 0 to Rp 360.000 per patient, and the range of indirect costs is Rp. 0 to Rp. 1.800.000 per patient. The difference in cost value range was influenced by the frequency of patient visits. Cheaper costs indicated lower frequency of patient visits and disorderly patient compliance, therefore the therapeutic effects achieved were less good. However, more expensive cost indicated higher frequency of patient visits and orderly patient compliance, and be able to achieved better the therapeutic effects. The effect of less maximum therapy is known with often patients buying drugs outside the primary healthcare centre caused by uncontrolled hypertension disease so that it can trigger very high blood pressure at any time, this is related to the nonroutine of patients in carrying out treatment in the primary healthcare centre.
