Household Preferences

Abstract Introduction Uganda is in discussions to introduce a national health insurance scheme. However, there is a paucity of information on household preferences and willingness to pay for health insurance attributes that may guide the design of an acceptable health insurance scheme. Our study sought to assess household preferences and willingness to pay for health insurance in Kampala city using a discrete choice experiment. Methods This study was conducted from 16th February 2020 to 10th April 2020 on 240 households in the Kawempe division of Kampala city stratified into slum and non-slum communities in order to get a representative sample of the area. We purposively selected the communities that represented slum and non-slum communities and thereafter applied systematic sampling in the selection of the households that participated in the study from each of the communities. Four household and policy-relevant attributes were used in the experimental design of the study. Each respondent attended to 9 binary choice sets of health insurance plans that included one fixed choice set. Data were analyzed using mixed logit models. Results Households in both the non-slum and slum communities had a high preference for health insurance plans that included both private and public health care providers as compared to plans that included public health care providers only (non-slum coefficient β = 0.81, P < 0.05; slum β = 0.87, p < 0.05) and; health insurance plans that covered extended family members as compared to plans that had limitations on the number of family members allowed (non-slum β = 0.44, P < 0.05; slum β = 0.36, p < 0.05). Households in non-slum communities, in particular, had a high preference for health insurance plans that covered chronic illnesses and major surgeries to other plans (0.97 β, P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that location of the household influences willingness to pay with households from non-slum communities willing to pay more for the preferred attributes. Conclusion Potential health insurance schemes should consider including both private and public health care providers and allow more household members to be enrolled in both slum and non-slum communities. However, the inclusion of more HH members should be weighed against the possible depletion of resources and other attributes. Potential health insurance schemes should also prioritize coverage for chronic illnesses and major surgeries in non-slum communities, in particular, to make the scheme attractive and acceptable for these communities.

Knowledge Attitudes And Practices

Objectives. To determine the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) of health care providers at the Philippine General Hospital towards hypoglycemia among non-critically ill patients using a validated, self-administered survey tool. Methods. This study covered two phases out of a three-phased project: (1) development and validation of a 43- item KAP survey tool and (2) assessment of KAP among nurses and residents using the tool. Phases 1 and 2 are analytic cross-sectional studies. Data for the KAP survey was collected using the developed tool and focused group discussions (FGDs). Results of this study will be the framework for Phase 3, which is the development of an in-patient hypoglycemia protocol. Results. The validated KAP survey tool yielded a low overall mean score of 12.56 ± 2.11 in the knowledge domain although high scores (4.88 ± 1) were noted for knowledge on management of hypoglycemia. In terms of attitude, majority (99.31%) of respondents believed that fewer hypoglycemia events correlates to better clinical outcomes and are willing to adopt a nurse-driven protocol. Most respondents (52.8%) employed correct practices in hypoglycemia management. The FGDs identified the perceived facilitators and barriers to hypoglycemia management. Conclusion. There is a gap in knowledge and practices in managing hypoglycemia among health care providers which needs to be addressed further with education and training. Nevertheless, health care providers have a positive attitude towards having a standard hypoglycemia protocol that will contribute greatly to its implementation in the clinical area.
