“…Our review adds evidence from 22 studies supporting the effectiveness of some of these strategies, particularly health education interventions [found for leprosy (162,180,203,204), podoconiosis (166,201), and Buruli ulcer (122)], contact interventions [found for leprosy (89,145,176,181,186) and Buruli ulcer (122)], disease management [found for leprosy (205)], personal support interventions [found for leprosy (90,145,146,149,160,164,168,206,207) and Buruli ulcer (122)], and advocacy interventions [in leprosy (146, 149, 181, 202)].…”

Mental health, stigma, and neglected tropical diseases: A review and systematic mapping of the evidence

Recent years have seen an increase in recognition of the important impact that mental health, wellbeing, and stigma have on the quality of life of people affected by neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including the publication of global normative guidance and policy frameworks. However, systematic collation of the evidence that can guide greater clarity of thinking for research and practical application of effective interventions is lacking. We used systematic mapping methodology to review the state of the evidence around mental health, stigma, and NTDs in low- and middle-income countries, applying a simple theoretical framework to explore intersections between these areas. We built on existing reviews on the links between each domain, bringing the reviews up to date, across the NTDs identified by the WHO (minus recent additions). After systematic searching of major databases, and exclusions, we identified 190 papers. Data extraction was done to inform key topics of interest, namely, the burden of mental distress and illness/stigma associated with NTDs, the mechanisms by which NTDs add to mental distress and illness/stigma, how mental distress and illness/stigma affect the outcome and treatment of NTDs, and efficacy of interventions to address these domains. We also document the recommendations given by the authors of included studies for research and interventions. We found that there has been a substantial increase in research, which remains very heterogeneous. It was dominated by skin conditions, especially leprosy and, less so, lymphatic filariasis. Few studies had a comparative and even fewer had an intervention design. Our findings were however consistent with existing reviews, pointing to a high prevalence of mental conditions, substantially mediated by stigma and exclusion and a lack of sufficient access to support for mental wellbeing in programmes, despite the existence of effective interventions. These interventions cut across mental health services, stigma reduction, community engagement, and empowerment of people affected. We conclude that the evidence justifies increased investment in practical and integrated interventions to support the wellbeing of people affected by NTDs but that there remains a need for implementation research of consistent quality, and basic science around the impact of mental health interventions on NTD outcomes (including on elimination efforts) needs to be strengthened.

“…Most IEC/health education interventions provided education around general knowledge of the disease (162,180,203,204), etiology (166,201), transmission mechanisms (166,203), available treatments (122,166,203,204), prevention (166), and related issues including stigma, discrimination, and mental health (203).…”

“…As a result, we can talk about health education as a political, pedagogical, and social practice withing the sphere of healthcare practices, a systematic and continuous process that stems from the principle of health promotion, requiring a reflexive thought that shows reality and leads to the elaboration of transformative actions that lead the person to their autonomy and emancipation, which includes a greater participation in the process of their own care. This health education interpretation regards the individual as a social subject, capable of giving opinions on the decisions about their own health (21) .…”

“…An analogy of this with the Foucauldian thought would suggest that this type of practice involves the idea of exercising a dense power, a type in which knowledge is not practiced as to provide freedom. The exercise of a health education that is committed to the meanings of freedom is based on the development of health education actions that articulate arenas of dialogue for the process of teaching and learning about leprosy, arenas that are committed to the main role of the child and adolescent as subjects with rights (21) .…”

Objective: To analyze the health care practices of children and adolescents with leprosy from the speeches of health professionals. Method: Qualitative research conducted with 23 health professionals who attended children and adolescents with leprosy in primary and secondary care in a municipality in the state of Pernambuco, from April to July 2018, through semi-structured interviews. Data were subjected to content analysis. Results: The practice of health care was apprehended from the following categories of analysis: "Embracement in leprosy", "Clinical practice" and "Education in Health", with limitations in meeting the particularities of the studied population. Conclusions: Limiting aspects in health care practice contribute to the difficulties in controlling the disease, requiring the development of best practice recommendations that address the needs of children and adolescents.
