ASSESSMENT OF ART DIFFERENTIATED DISPENSATION MODELS AND THEIR EFFECT ON ADHERENCE AND RETENTION IN CARE AMONG ADULT STABLE PATIENTS
Abstract
The Human Immunodeficiency Virus continues to be a significant public health concern in Sub-Saharan Africa, with inadequate treatment outcomes for adults. Adhering to daily doses of Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) is crucial for achieving viral suppression, which is the primary objective of treatment. There is a scarcity of information regarding the impact of different ART differentiated delivery methods (health facility and community ART delivery models) on treatment retention and medication adherence in Cameroon.
This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of ART differentiated dispensing models on adherence and retention among stable adult patients receiving ART through health facility and community dispensing methods. A retrospective hospital/community-based study was undertaken from January to July 2022 at Baptist Hospital Mutengene, Tiko Health District. Data collection involved using extraction forms to gather qualitative information from ART registers and patient files. The data was inputted and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 at a p-value.
The study indicated that treatment retention rates in the health facility and community ART dispensation models are 99.3 and 98.8 % (p=0.448) for 2020, and 99.8% and 99.4% (p=0.288) for 2021 respectively while ART adherence rates in the health facility and community ART dispensation models are 82.6% and 62.6% (p<0.001) for 2020 and 71.5% and 54.8% (p<0.001) for 2021 respectively.
ART adherence rates are associated with age, marital status, occupation, having treatment support and disclosure of HIV status and viral load, and number of children ≥ 7 for 2020/2021 respectively. The two systems of ART dispensation are efficient and effective despite their slight differences.
