Effectiveness of the Interventions of TB and HIV Control in Zambia: A Systematic Review
Abstract:
The purpose of
the research paper was to investigate the effectiveness of the interventions of
TB and HIV control in Zambia. The research had the objectives to 1) identify
the current TB and HIV control mechanisms in Zambia, 2) to find out the
prevention and curative activities on the incidence and fatality of TB and HIV
in Zambia and 3) to analyse the contents of the government policy provisions
that address TB and HIV in Zambia. A mixed design was used for the research, in
this regard two data sources were of significance to the research i.e. the
primary and secondary data. The primary data was collected from the sample of
314 health personnel from the Copperbelt Regional offices and the National Aids
Council who were randomly selected. Semi-structured questionnaires were used to
collect primary data. In addition, primary data was collected for systematic
review. The quantitative primary data was analysed using SPSS version 25 and
thematic analysis was used for qualitative data. This systematic review
followed the guidelines described in the Cochrane Handbook and the Preferred
Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The
findings indicate that the effectiveness of the interventions of TB and HIV
control in Zambia is positively significantly correlated with TB and HIV
control mechanisms (r = 0.507), prevention and curative activities (r = 0.279)
and government policy provisions (r = 0.465)
