Abstract

Successful integration of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with existing reproductive health services will require iterative learning and adaptation. The interaction between the problem-solving required to implement new interventions and health worker motivation has been well-described in the public health literature. This study describes structural and motivational challenges faced by health care providers delivering PrEP to adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) alongside other SRH services, and the strategies used to overcome them. We conducted in-depth interviews (IDIs) and focus group discussions (FGDs) with HCWs from two demonstration projects delivering PrEP to AGYW alongside other SRH services. The Prevention Options for the Women Evaluation Research (POWER) is an open label PrEP study with a focus on learning about PrEP delivery in Kenyan and South African family planning, youth mobile services, and public clinics at six facilities. PrIYA focused on PrEP delivery to AGYW via maternal and child health (MCH) and family planning (FP) clinics in Kenya across 37 facilities. IDIs and FGDs were transcribed and analyzed using a combination of inductive and deductive methods. We conducted IDIs with 36 participants and 8 FGDs with 50 participants. HCW described a dynamic process of operationalizing PrEP delivery to better respond to patient needs, including modifying patient flow, pill packaging, and counseling. HCWs believed the biggest challenge to sustained integration and scaling of PrEP for AGYW would be lack of health care worker motivation, primarily due to a misalignment of personal and professional values and expectations. HCWs frequently described concerns of PrEP provision being seen as condoning or promoting unprotected sex among young unmarried, sexually active women. Persuasive techniques used to overcome these reservations included emphasizing the social realities of HIV risk, health care worker professional identities, and vocational commitments to keeping young women healthy. Sustained scale-up of PrEP will require HCWs to value and prioritize its incorporation into daily practice. As with the provision of other SRH services, HCWs may have moral reservations about providing PrEP to AGYW. Strategies that strengthen alignment of HCW personal values with professional goals will be important for strengthening motivation to overcome delivery challenges.

摘要

将暴露前预防(PrEP)与现有的生殖健康服务成功整合需要反复学习和调整。公共卫生文献中对实施新干预措施所需的问题解决与卫生工作者积极性之间的相互作用已有详尽描述。本研究描述了在提供其他性与生殖健康(SRH)服务的同时为青春期女孩和年轻女性(AGYW)提供PrEP的医疗服务提供者所面临的结构和动机方面的挑战,以及用于克服这些挑战的策略。我们对来自两个示范项目的卫生保健工作者(HCW)进行了深入访谈(IDI)和焦点小组讨论(FGD),这两个项目在提供其他SRH服务的同时为AGYW提供PrEP。妇女预防选择评估研究(POWER)是一项开放标签的PrEP研究,重点是了解在肯尼亚和南非的六个机构的计划生育、青年移动服务和公共诊所中PrEP的提供情况。PrIYA专注于通过肯尼亚37个机构的母婴健康(MCH)和计划生育(FP)诊所向AGYW提供PrEP。IDI和FGD的内容被转录,并采用归纳法和演绎法相结合的方式进行分析。我们对36名参与者进行了IDI,对50名参与者进行了8次FGD。卫生保健工作者描述了一个使PrEP提供运作更加完善以更好地满足患者需求的动态过程,包括调整患者流程、药丸包装和咨询。卫生保健工作者认为,持续整合和扩大针对AGYW的PrEP面临的最大挑战将是卫生保健工作者缺乏积极性,主要原因是个人价值观与职业价值观和期望不一致。卫生保健工作者经常提到担心提供PrEP会被视为纵容或助长未婚、性活跃年轻女性中的无保护性行为。用于克服这些顾虑的说服技巧包括强调艾滋病毒风险的社会现实、卫生保健工作者的职业身份以及保持年轻女性健康的职业承诺。持续扩大PrEP的规模将要求卫生保健工作者重视并优先将其纳入日常实践。与提供其他SRH服务一样,卫生保健工作者在为AGYW提供PrEP时可能会有道德上的顾虑。加强卫生保健工作者个人价值观与职业目标一致性的策略对于增强克服提供方面挑战的动力非常重要。
