Translating innovative recovery-oriented psychosocial rehabilitation practices to low resource regions to enhance community participation of people with serious mental illness
No full textSeventy-five percent of people who live with mental illness in low- and middle-income countries do not receive mental health services. This lack of access to treatment, along with social conditions such as poverty and stigma, negatively impacts community participation (Whiteford et al., 2013). In low-resource settings such as Kenya, this essentially renders people with serious mental illness (PWSMI) unemployable and relegated to the social margins.
Challenged by the funders of our project to find bold solutions to global health issues, our response was CREATE, a new paradigm for recovery that couples social business (SB) with focused and culturally informed psychosocial rehabilitation (PSR) practices and peer supports. This 18-month project is being conducted in Machakos, a city of approximately 150,000 people 60 kilometres southwest of Nairobi, Kenya.
This article begins with a brief overview of the key components of the initiative then focuses particularly on the evolution and implementation of a PSR toolkit. We conclude with reflections on the process and some lessons learned. (From publisher)Final article publishe
INFLUENCE OF NON-EQUITY STRATEGIC ALLIANCES ON PERFORMANCE OF MANUFACTURING SMALL AND MEDIUM ENTERPRISES IN KARIOBANGI LIGHT INDUSTRIES, KENYA
No full textAbstract: The fundamental goal of this inquiry was to determine the influence of non-Equity strategic partnerships on the operations of small and medium manufacturing firms in Kenya. The precise purpose of this research was to evaluate the impact of distribution agreements, outsourcing agreements, Licensing deals, and supply chain partnerships on MSMEs in the manufacturing sector in Kenya. This inquiry presumed a descriptive research design to articulate the association between the predictor variables and the dependent variable, and a selection of all the businesses wasmade. From a focus populace of 210 managers from 70 SMEs in Kariobangi Light Industries, the researcher picked a sample size of 187 managers to participate in the research as per the Krejcie and Morgan 1970 formula for calculating sample size. The inquiry used both first-hand and secondary data.The first-hand information was gathered using regulated inquiry forms. The researcher did data scrutiny using SPSS software, version 28, where the documents were amended, coded, and input into the software for analysis. The data was scrutinized for inferential and descriptive statistics where the researcher deduced measures of central tendency such asStandard deviationandmean. He used the Coefficient of determination and ANOVA to establish the study variable relationships. The researcher used tables and bar graphs to present the findings. Data results found out that Licensing Agreements, Distribution Agreements, Outsourcing agreements, and supply chain partnerships significantly and positively affect Manufacturing SMEs' performance in Kariobangi Light Industries, Kenya. The study recommends that Manufacturing SMEs in Kariobangi Light Industries embrace Licensing Agreements, Distribution Agreements, Outsourcing agreements, and Supply chain partnerships as they enhance the functioning of SMEs.
Keywords: Licensing agreements, Distribution Agreements, Outsourcing Agreements, Supply chain partnerships, Non-financial strategic Alliances.

Evans Syndrome as the Initial Presentation of Systemic Lupus Erythromatosus in a Rural Kenyan Hospital: A Case Report
No full textAbstract: Evans syndrome is a rare autoimmune disorder characterized by the occurrence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura with or without immune neutropenia. The syndrome may be idiopathic, but in typical clinical settings, secondary causes, predominantly autoimmune diseases, may be the underlying etiology. We present a case of lupus presenting initially as Evans syndrome.
Keywords: Evans syndrome, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenic purpura, systemic lupus erythromatosus, Coombs test.

The correlations on psychopathology in children self-rating, psychopathology in children as related by their parents and psychopathology in parents self-rating in a Kenyan school setting: towards an inclusive family-centered approach
No full textAbstract Several studies have reported on the association between parental and childhood psychopathologies. Despite this, little is known about the psychopathologies between parents and children in a non-clinical population. We present such a study, the first in a Kenyan setting in an attempt to fill this gap. The objective of this study was to determine the association between self-rating psychopathology in children, parent-rating psychopathology in their children and self-rating psychopathology in parents in a non-clinical population of children attending schools in Kenya. We identified 113 participants, comprising children and their parents in 10 randomly sampled primary schools in South East Kenya. The children completed the Youth Self-Report (YSR) scale and parents completed the Child Behavior Check List (CBCL) on their children and the Adult Self-Reports (ASR) on themselves. These instruments are part of the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA), developed in the USA for a comprehensive approach to assessing adaptation and maladaptive behavior in children and adolescents. There was back and forth translation of the instruments from English to Swahili and the local dialect, Kamba. Every revision of the English translation was sent to the instrument author who sent back comments until the revised version was in sync with the version developed by the author. We used the ASEBA in-built algorithm for scoring to determine cut-off points for problematic and non-problematic behavior. Correlations, linear regression and independent sample t-test were used to explore these associations. The mean age of the children was 12.7. While there was no significant association between child problems as measured by YSR (self-reported) and parent problems as measured by ASR and CBCL in the overall correlations, there was a significant association when examining specific groups (clinical range vs. non-clinical). Moreover, significant association existed between total problems on YSR and ASR internalizing problems (t=-2.3,p = 0.023), with clinical range having a higher mean than the normal range. In addition, a significant relationship (p < 0.05) was found between psychopathology in children as reported by both parents (CBCL) and psychopathology in parents as self-reported (ASR). Mothers were more likely to report lower syndrome scores of their children as compared to fathers. Our findings indicate discrepancies between children self-rating and parent ratings, suggesting that one cannot manage psychopathology in children without reference to psychopathology in their parents. We suggest broad-based psycho-education to include children and parents to enhance shared awareness of psychopathology and uptake of treatment
