Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) remains underused by adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), partly due to stigma within HIV clinics. Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) clinics, perceived as more socially acceptable than HIV clinics, have nurses who quickly identify PrEP-eligible AGYW. We piloted a nurse-led PrEP delivery model at Kawaala Health Centre IV, Kampala (December 2021-July 2022). Acceptability was defined as the proportion initiating PrEP, retention as the proportion returning for refills, and adherence self-reported as good (≤3 pills missed), fair, or poor. Time-motion observations estimated visit durations. We enrolled 59 AGYW (median age: 22 years). Retention was 83% at 1 month, 63% at 3 months, and 41% at 6 months. Good adherence was 69% at 1 month, 45% at 3 months, and 71% at 6 months. Initiation visits lasted 95 min. Nurse-led PrEP delivery in SRH clinics is acceptable and could improve uptake despite prolonged visit times.

Planning Nursing Care II01:29

Planning Nursing Care II

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...

Planning Nursing Care I

The planning phase of the nursing process helps nurses set priorities, outline patient-centered goals and expected outcomes, and tailor nursing interventions to align with the aligned care plan. Through the planning phase, the nurse applies critical thinking skills to align and develop interventions according to the patient's needs. It provides continuity of care allowing patients to receive the maximum benefit from treatment. It serves as a pilot plan for allocating individual staff to a...

Gene Families01:57

Gene Families

Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Role of Communication in the Nursing Process II: Planning and Implementation

Several factors are considered while creating a patient's care plan. Motivation is a factor in improving communication, and patients often require encouragement to try different approaches involving significant change. It is essential to involve the patient and family in decisions about the plan of care to determine whether the suggested methods are acceptable. Consider meeting critical comfort and safety needs before introducing new communication methods and techniques. Allow adequate time...
