Item Caregivers’ Perceptions of Compassion Ability Among Paediatric Healthcare Providers in Kenyatta National Hospital, Nairobi, Kenya.(Contemporary Research Center CRC Publications, 2020) Wanjohi, Grace W; Maingi, LydiahINTRODUCTION: Compassion fatigue has the potential to impair compassion ability among paediatric health care providers (PHCPs). Despite the increased number of paediatric patients in the public hospitals occasioned by improved health services, the impact on PHCPs compassion ability has not been established. OBJECTIVES: The primary objective of this study was to describe paediatric caregivers’ perceptions of compassion ability among PHCPs. METHODS: The study adopted the phenomenological research design. Data collection methods included unstructured interviews, focused group discussions and narratives. Perceptions of compassion ability among PHCP were sought from family caregivers of paediatric patients admitted during the period of study. RESULTS: 42 caregivers were included in the study. Majority were mothers aged between 21-30 years. The study found that caregivers perceived compassionate care as love and friendliness, timeliness in treatment, adequate consultation time and getting enough information from their PHCPs. Compassionate care varied from PHCP to PHCP depending on possession of these qualities. The PHCPs who had these qualities were viewed as compassionate while those who lacked them were viewed as uncompassionate. CONCLUSIONS: Caregivers conceptualize compassionate care as love and friendliness, timeliness in treatment, adequate consultation time and receiving adequate information concerning their children. PHCP need to understand these are important components of their services and realize that caregivers are not just interested in their services but in how these services are delivered.Item Effectiveness Of Group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy In Reducing Self-Stigma Among Adolescents Living With Hiv (Alwhiv) In The Kakuma Refugee Camp.(IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences, 2024) Lokoroi, Damaris Sifora; Maingi, LydiahAdolescents living with HIV (ALWHIV) continued to grapple with self-stigma. Series of studies have been done in refugee set ups on stigma, HIV and AIDs, and depression associated with the displacement of refugees and asylum seekers. Despite the efforts, there is limited evidence of the reduction of self-stigma. The current study was carried out in Kakuma refugee camp in Turkana County to assess the effectiveness of group Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (GCBT) in the reduction of the levels of self-stigma among ALWHIV. The study targeted adolescent refugees living with HIV and from multiple nationalities residing in the Kakuma Refugee Camp hosted by UNHCR. A Randomized control trial design was employed on a sample size of 60 participants. Internalized Stigma of Mental Illness Inventory (ISMI) tool was used for measuring the participants’ level of self-stigma and the Client Satisfaction Questionnaire to evaluate the GCBT intervention’s feasibility in diminishing HIV-related self-stigma. The data gathered was subjected to descriptive and inferential analysis using Statistical Package for Social Scientist (SPSS) v.26. The findings indicated that difference in the self-stigma scores was higher in the intervention group (M = 12.100, SD = 2.102) than control group (M = 4.14, SD = 2.361); there was a statistically significant mean decrease of levels of self-stigma by 12.100 during post-test in the experimental group, 95% CI [7.801, 16.399], t (29) = 5.756, p < .05. The study concluded that GCBT was effective in reducing self-stigma among ALWHIV. Based on the findings, the study recommended implementation GCBT to address Sigma and assessment of its effectiveness in addressing other mental health issues in refugee camps.Item Emotions(2014) Maingi, LydiahItem Psychological needs of male survivors of SGBV(2012) Maingi, LydiahItem Relationships(2012) Maingi, Lydiah
