Title A name given to the resource SOCIAL REPRESENTATIONS OF MALE CIRCUMCISION AS PROPHYLAXIS AGAINST HIV/AIDS IN ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource ANTONY CHIKUTSA PRANITHA MAHARAJ Description An account of the resource The World Health Organisation recommended the scale-up of voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC) as an additional HIV prevention method in 2007 and several countries with high HIV prevalence rates including Zimbabwe have since adopted the procedure. Since then researchers have been preoccupied with establishing the level of knowledge and acceptability of circumcision in communities that did not traditionally circumcise. Despite evidence to suggest that knowledge and acceptability of voluntary medical male circumcision is high, there is also emerging evidence that suggest that uptake of circumcision among men has been below expectations. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate people’s representations of male circumcision that may influence its uptake.

Title A name given to the resource HIV AND AIDS WORKPLACE POLICY FOR THE ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY-FRIEND OR FOE? Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource CHIKUKWA HERBERT T* CHIOME CHRISPEN** RAPHINOS ALEXANDER CHABAYA* Description An account of the resource This study sought to evaluate the friendliness of the HIV and AIDS workplace policy for the Zimbabwe Open University. This was a case study of one regional centre. Thirty six purposively selected fulltime lecturers and support staff participated in this research. Data was collected through open-ended questionnaires and analysed thematically. The results indicated that the policy is at best non-existent and at worst disconnected from real workplace complexities. Consequently, HIV positive workers appear isolated because they are not supported nor valued at the workplace. Most glaringly, HIV disproportionately affects women workers more than their male counterparts. In some instances these are even overloaded, shunned or stigmatised. Consequently, the workers in this study think HIV positive workers are disenfranchised threatening the university social fabric. They then advocated for an end to workplace discrimination and stigmatisation of HIV positive workers whose status must be kept in confidence, workload minimised, substantial resources invested in their well being and their immediate relatives catered for in medical Aid benefits. More information could be availed to affected and infected workers so that they can live positively. The study recommended concerted effort and substantial resource investment in innovative policies that are worker friendly. Further studies need to be done on supporting HIV positive workers at the workplace.

Title A name given to the resource “THE EFFECTIVENESS’ OF TOTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN SERVICE QUALITY OF MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND CHILD CARE” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource GORE SEKAI NOREEN SITHOLE KUDAKWASHE GONDO KUDZANAYI Description An account of the resource Causes of child death were identified; strategies and policies were put in place to help minimize child death. The challenge is that the service quality is being ignored which is leading to more child deaths. . The research sought to address the gap caused by lack of quality service in Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission ( PMTCT). The study survey was restricted to 14 health institutions in Chikomba District. The health institutions have 217 staff who could participate. According to PMTCT Service statistics 3rd quarter 2012 for Chikomba District the beneficiaries totaled 1185. Four Chiefs in the District and two relevant stakeholders District Aids Coordinator (DAAC) Focal Officer and PMTCT Coordinator Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric Aids Foundation (EGPAF) were also part of the target population. All these added would give a total target population of 1407. The sample size comprised of 98(45%) participants from the 14 health institutions, 532 beneficiaries , 2 stakeholders and 4 Chiefs . 28 questionnaires were distributed to management, 70 to employees and 2 to (DAAC) and ( EGPAF) representatives. Focus group discussions were carried out on 532 beneficiaries and 4 community leadership. Interviews were done with 14 senior manager, 4 community leaders and 2 stakeholder representatives. We found out that there are eight practices that support total quality management (TQM) positively; these are top-management commitment, teamwork and participation, process management, customer focus and satisfaction, resource management, organization behavior and culture, continuous improvement, and training. In conclusion we found out that for successful TQM implementation employee involvement, senior management commitment, training and also taking into account the needs of external and internal customers is very important.

Title A name given to the resource N ASSESSMENT OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT FOLLOWING BIRTH TRAUMA AND ITS DIDACTIC IMPLICATIONS: A CASE STUDY OF PRIMARY SCHOOL CHILDREN IN BULAWAYO AND MATABELELAND REGIONS. Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource NTOMBIYENDABA MUCHUCHUTI Description An account of the resource This qualitative case study involved an assessment of neuropsychological development following birth trauma and its didactic implications. The aim was to evaluate how brain injuries occurring before, during and after birth affect the children’s mental ability. In the study, 20 purposively selected children born at Mpilo Central Hospital, United Bulawayo Hospitals, Gwanda Provincial and Tsholotsho District Hospital Maternity centres were used as the research participants. Their parents, the school heads, class teachers, the school psychologists, the nurses and doctors were used as information sources for the required data. Document analysis of medical and school records and Standardised non-verbal tests triangulated the data sources. Major findings were that: Children with Traumatic Birth Injuries (TBI) were among learners in mainstream schools and some of them were not benefiting from the teaching methodologies and curricula in schools. The children had challenges in cognitive and behavioural domains which manifested in memory, mastery, poor performance in Mathematics and English and they had behavioural problems. Most of them set in the bottom 10 of the class. Most teachers had problems with teaching children with TBI. The study made the following recommendations: revision of policies and statutory instruments governing medical practise; resuscitation of maternal health systems in the country; mainstreaming inclusion in teacher-education; improvement of teaching and learning conditions; and observing reasonable teacher-pupil ratio. Collaboration of multi-sectoral alliances in the education of children with TBI is encouraged if the traumatised children are to benefit from time in school. Further research should focus on collaborative research in mental health and effective schooling of children with TB Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIMBABWE OPEN UNIVERSITY Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 birth trauma neuropsychological development primary schoo l children https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/70f8d729fcad98aecae916d83d72d116.pdf 8042253176de5cc3b78e7760d2e7a22d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE EFFECTS OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE ON THE HEALTH OF WOMEN IN GWERU URBAN Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PANGANAI TSITSI Description An account of the resource Sexual violence could be a menace to the health of women, so this study sought to investigate the effects of sexual violence on the health of women. The research hypothesis was that there is no relationship between sexual violence and the reproductive, psychological and physical health problems. The objectives were to expose the types of sexual violence and how women react to it in addition to establishing the prevalence of the psychological, physical and reproductive health (including STI and HIV/AIDS) problems resulting from sexual violence. A mixed methodology with a pragmatic approach was used to carry out the research. The research design was the casual comparative method where two groups that is the sample and control groups were selected to allow comparing of the results. The purposive sampling method was used at Msasa Project and Gweru hospital to obtain the sample group of 30 women who were sexually violated. The control group of 30 women who were not sexually violated was obtained by convenient sampling at Gweru Hospital MCH department. The data was obtained by triangulating interviews, focus groups and documentary analysis and analysed by descriptive statistics as well as using the SPSS for ANOVA, t-test and chi square. The research revealed that sexual violence does affect the health of women reproductively, psychologically and physically. The prevalence of STI and HIV related to sexual violence was 0.33 and 0.37 respectively. However the women were reluctant to report sexual violence because of their culture which makes it difficult to define sexual violence. The researcher suggests that men be educated on the rights of women and the effects of sexual violence and the 3 organisations dealing with women health issues should involve men. The women who report sexual violence should also be assessed for psychological problems as it was found to be the most common health problem associated with sexual violence. Abortion should be made accessible to the victims of sexual violence so that they are not burdened by an unwanted child Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available ZIMBABWE Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2013 sexual violence women health https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/4c736e579c9d14cffca19778bdc11107.pdf ae3e5a45f57d1e446cab9bec2758f6b3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource INVIGORATING HIV AND AIDS PREVENTION THROUGH ADDRESSING TO POVERTY AND GENDER INEQUALITIES AMONG YOUNG WOMEN: A CASE FOR MASVINGO URBAN Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource PAUL MUPA P PRIMROSE KURASHA CHRISPEN CHIOME Description An account of the resource This study sought to explore the perspectives of young women in Masvingo with the aim of better informing them on HIV prevention. Focus group discussions and interviews were used to explore issues relating to HIV prevention. An inductive content analysis identified emerging themes and patterns in the participants’ conversations. The study revealed that, although young women were informed and motivated to prevent HIV, poverty and inequality were significant barriers, limiting their power to protect themselves. The research adds evidence to the current argument that failure to address the disempowering effects of poverty and gender inequality limits the effectiveness of current HIV prevention for young women. HIV prevention must now address poverty and gender vulnerabilities, promoting a protective environment, rather than focusing on influencing individual sexual behaviour Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available International J.

Title A name given to the resource REVENUE CONSTRAINTS ON THE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS: COVID-19 PANDEMIC IN AFRICA Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TAFADZWA MOYO KEITH TICHAONA TASHU Description An account of the resource The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively affected domestic revenue mobilization capacity of governments in Africa which significantly affected Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) implementation trajectory. This chapter focused on examining the impact of the pandemic on sources of revenue more familiar for African states which are income taxes, customs duty, value added tax, toll gate fees, external finances and local government incomes. The chapter adopted a qualitative case study approach through documentary search of books, journal articles, government reports and working papers focusing on the implications of the pandemic on revenue mobilization and effects on SDGs. Moreover, cases of illicit financial flows, smuggling of goods, tax evasion and fiscal corruption due to COVID-19-related restrictions have contributed toward low revenue mobilization capacity of African countries. Owing to this, SDGs funding declined as evidenced by poor health service delivery (Goal 3), unequal access to education especially in rural isolated communities (Goal 4), and poor waste management and water reticulation services (Goal 6). These challenges have amplified poverty and inequality levels in these countries as well as reducing the quality of standard of living. The chapter findings indicate that, the success of smoothly implementing SDGs in African countries will largely depend on boosting their own domestic revenues. Following an in-depth analysis of the research findings, this chapter recommends governments to introduce tax reforms such as expanding their revenue base and there is need to improve transparency and accountability on revenue collection to reduce corruption and tax evasion. Con- clusions can be drawn that the COVID-19 pandemic has worsened economic woes which has resulted in low productivity capacity and revenue loss in these African countrie Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Springer Nature Switzerland AG Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2024 COVID-19 pandemic Domestic resource mobilization Economy Equality poverty Revenue Sustainable Development Goals Taxation Unemployment https://ir.zou.ac.zw/files/original/b4ce5599efb13742f48f504ea36888ae.pdf 2ac50a5f4566a249851dec3465582223 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource AN ASSESSMENT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND PERFORMANCE OF HEALTH SECTOR EMPLOYEES IN ZVIMBA DISTRICT HOSPITAL ZIMBABWE Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource TERRENCE MASAMBA THOMAS BHEBHE GETRUDE MAVUNGA KUPAKWASHE E. T. MUJAWE Description An account of the resource Emotional intelligence is not a luxury, but a necessity in Zimbabwean public health institutions.The aim of the study was to determine the nexus between emotional intelligence and aperformance of health sector employees in Zvimba District Hospital. The focus was on key emotional intelligence parameters on augmenting performance for the health sector. The studywas guided by positivism research philosophy and anchored on Goleman’s Model. A sample of 124 health professionals was selected using Raosoft sample size calculator allowing a 5%margin of error and 95% confidence level. Structured questionnaires were used to collect data. Quantitative data were uploaded on SPSS Version 21 and analysed using descriptive statisticsand correlations. It was established from the main study findings that leaders with high emotional intelligence could inspire and motivate their teams, fostering a positive workenvironment that can lead to improved service delivery. It was revealed that emotionalintelligence enhanced communication between healthcare providers and patients, leading tobetter understanding and health outcomes. This contributed to higher job satisfaction among healthcare workers, reduced turnover rates and ensuring continuity of care. The study established that resilience fostered employees to maintain professional integrity and continues to provide safe and effective care. The study recommended the need to establish support systems that promoted emotional well-being among healthcare workers. Longitudinal studies should focus on encouraging the selection of leaders with high emotional intelligence to foster a supportive work culture.
