Patient-led partner notification for syphilis: Strategies used by women accessing antenatal care in urban Bolivia
چکیده انگلیسی
This study examined partner notification, for the first time, from the perspective of women accessing treatment for maternal syphilis in Bolivia. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 women who had attempted or planned to attempt notifying their partner. The interview guide was designed to investigate the experience of patient-led partner notification for syphilis with particular emphasis on the strengths and capacities of the participants. Accordingly, we applied an existing theoretical model for individual empowerment in the analysis of the interviews with the participants. This emphasis on the positive, solution-finding capacities of the participants allowed us to investigate the ways in which participants took control over an aspect of concern to their health. More studies are needed which examine successful patient-led strategies for partner notification and their connections with long-term health outcomes.
