Factors influencing lay and professional health workers' self-efficacy in identification and intervention for alcohol, tobacco, and other substance use disorders in kenya.
International journal of mental health and addiction(2017)
摘要
The global burden of substance use disorders (SUDs), including alcohol and tobacco, disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), considering their rising disease burden and low service capacity. Nested within a Kenyan training program, this study explores factors associated with healthcare providers' self-efficacy to treat SUD. Surveys of 206 healthcare workers were used to perform regression and sensitivity analysis assessing various factors association with self-efficacy. Self-efficacy for SUD was lower in those practicing in public facilities and perceiving a need for alcohol use disorder (AUD) training; while higher self-efficacy correlated with a higher proportion of patients with AUD in one's setting, access to mental health worker support, cannabis use at a moderate risk level, and belief that AUD is manageable in outpatient settings. Increasing awareness about SUD prevalence, identification, and treatment skills could improve the self-efficacy of LMICs' health care providers and therefore the willingness to implement more services for patients with SUDs.
