- W2898668482 abstract "Objectives: According to Botswana's 2014 national non-communicable diseases (NCD) risk factors survey, 53% of adults with known hypertension have uncontrolled disease. In addition to patient factors, understanding of the health system factors contributing to uncontrolled hypertension in Botswana - where over 95% residents live within 8 km of a health facility and primary healthcare services are free - is needed. We aimed to describe current quality of care for hypertension at outpatient primary healthcare clinics in Botswana. Methods: A cross-sectional study where purposive sample of consecutive consultations for patients with hypertension was observed, at six outpatient clinics in two districts. Consultations were assessed using a checklist, and were observed by a general practitioner knowledgeable in Botswana's recently endorsed National Primary Healthcare Guidelines aligned with World Health Organization (WHO-PEN) guidelines. Results: Eighty-two observations were descriptively analyzed, of which 78(95%) were follow-up visits. Median age of 59 years(IQR: 46,73); 23(28.1%) were male. BP was measured 100% of the time, weight 28%, height or waist circumference 0%. Titration of medicines was appropriate 71% of the time, assessment of medication adherence was 54%. Counseling patients about disease was provided 2% of the time, advise on lifestyle changes was 24%. Conclusion: While limited in sample size and purposive sampling, this study provides helpful preliminary information on gaps in quality of hypertension management in our setting, and may be relevant to similar settings. Training during implementation of the Primary Healthcare Guidelines in Botswana is needed to improve knowledge, skills and practice of primary healthcare providers in managing hypertension." @default.
