Background: The integration of health promotion in the treatment of patients should be included in all academic curricula in primary training of health professionals. However, the extent to which health promotion is included in the various curricula at undergraduate level is not known.Objective: To assess the extent to which health promotion content is integrated in undergraduate physiotherapy training programmes in South Africa. Method: This was a qualitative and descriptive study, using in-depth interviews with representatives of physiotherapy academic departments.Results: All universities have some content of health promotion, with the weighting varying between 12% and 40%. Health promotion is taught at various levels of study, and health promotion training blocks are in both urban and rural settings and include communities, schools and old-age homes. The theories of advocacy, enabling and mediation are covered, but there is limited practical training on these elements. There are limited human resources trained in health promotion, as well as a lack of clear processes of developing and reviewing teaching and training materials.Conclusion: There is lack of consensus on the weighting of health promotion, the level at which it is taught and how it is evaluated across universities. Challenges to integrate health promotion in physiotherapy curricula include lack of frequent curricula reviews, inadequate training of lecturers and lack of conducive practical sites.The physiotherapy profession needs to reach a consensus on minimum standards for integration of health promotion in undergraduate training, and the physiotherapy professional board has the potential to provide the required leadership.

Gaining a driver’s licence represents increased independence and can lead to improved quality of life for individuals and their families. Learning to drive a motor vehicle and maintaining safe on-road skills are often more difficult for people on the autism spectrum. Many countries currently have no autism-specific licencing requirements for learner drivers, and there is a general lack of ASD-specific support and training packages for individuals, their families, and driving instructors. This review synthesises the peer-reviewed literature about the driving characteristics of drivers on the spectrum and driver training available for the cohort. The evidence in this review showed that individuals on the autism spectrum drive differently from their neurotypical counterparts. There are shortcomings in tactical skills of drivers on the autism spectrum, but the extent to which this affects their own safety or the safety of other road users is unclear. Tactical skills can be improved through training programs. There are few autism spectrum-specific learner training programs available. Development of an effective training program will benefit individuals on the spectrum to learn to drive, be independent, and be safe on the road.

Abstract Hospice services can provide patient stabilization and improved quality of life, making the patient ineligible for continued hospice. Using focus groups and in-depth interviews, we explored how patients, families, and hospice staff experience, anticipate, and cope with “live discharge” from hospice. Nurses and administrators tried to prepare families for the possibility and unsettling reality of live discharge, yet the aides who worked most closely with families remained unaware of regulations dictating an impending live discharge. Reactions of families ranged from excitement, when patient was selected for clinical trial, to more common expressions of frustration, as they lost access to the staff, coordinated services, and medications only covered under the Medicare hospice benefit. Families also reported relationship stressors and decisional uncertainty associated with longer than expected patient life. Families still needed and wanted hospice services, with most agreeing they would return to hospice after the patient declined and became eligible again.

Background: Stigma refers to a distinctive, discrediting characteristic, rendering its bearer tainted or inferior by others. Definitions of stigma acknowledge the recognition of difference; and devaluation. Evidence, largely from high-income countries suggests that cancer is a stigmatized disease. Cancer-related stigma is not well-documented in South Africa, and little is known about how it impacts health-seeking behavior, treatment adherence, quality of life and psychosocial well-being in cancer patients. Limited research has explored perceptions and cultural representations of cancer but an in-depth focus on this is lacking. This context-specific information is essential for relevant, effective intervention. Aim: This study aims to increase understanding of cancer-related stigma in South Africa and the role of cultural beliefs in contributing to this. Findings will be used to inform a larger study and ultimately, interventions to address cancer-related stigma in communities in which the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is working. Methods: This qualitative study was conducted in two provinces of South Africa, KwaZulu Natal and the Western Cape and included participants from a range of cultural and racial groups. Cancer patients over 18 years were recruited through CANSA's Service Delivery teams to participate in focus groups or one to one in depth interviews. Six focus groups and 40 in depth interviews were conducted with cancer patients. Data collection focused on understanding patient experiences of cancer stigma; cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses to this; and inputs on interventions to address this. Six focus groups were also conducted with noncancer patients recruited from local communities to explore cultural perceptions of cancer and reasons for stigmatization. Audio recordings were transcribed and translated; coded using NVivo 11; and analyzed by the authors using thematic analysis. Results: Results indicated very poor knowledge of cancer both in patients and nonpatients. Overwhelmingly, findings highlight the perception of cancer as a “death sentence”, influencing patients' experiences and responses of others in numerous ways. The influence of cultural beliefs was relevant, exacerbating stigma in some cases. The location of the cancer also played a role in determining level of stigmatization. Certain body parts (associated with masculine and feminine roles) as well as more visible cancers/side-effects were more stigmatised. Conclusion: Results indicate that stigmatization is a significant factor for cancer patients in South Africa, increasing social isolation and negatively impacting quality of life. The implications of the findings for intervention development will be discussed. Education is needed but requires a different focus for different cultural groups.

Abstract Objectives Stroke is a significant global public health challenge attributable to an array of disabilities it causes alongside an impairment in cognition. The monetary impact of stroke care includes acute treatment expenses as well as outrageous expenses of postdischarge chronic hospital care and rehabilitation services. The current study aimed to study the perceptions along with experiences of stroke survivors and caregivers. Materials and Methods In-depth interviews (IDIs) of stroke survivors and their primary caregivers were conducted at their home 2 months after their discharge from the hospital in Bhopal, India. These IDIs were later analyzed. Results The following eight themes emerged: pervasive and irreversible, multifunction loss and dependency, holistic impact on the health of person and family, money and matter, nonaccommodative cost and baffled belief, professional paralysis, social crisis, and slow and obscured progress. The added obligation of taking care of a disabled stroke survivor along with adjusting their own lifestyle with financial apprehensions, worry about future, prolonged hours of care, and stress are major factors that increase the burden of the caregivers. Conclusion Caregivers should be sensitized with proper counseling and training through health care institutions to ensure appropriate care and management of stroke survivors at home, as it will also help in addressing their psychosocial needs, and minimizing the knowledge gap, doubts and uncertainties about the disease and its aftereffects.
