abstract: 'Background: Despite global recommendations that brief, task-shared
interventions are effective for addressing problematic alcohol use in
primary health care (PHC), low-income countries have made few attempts
to implement and scale-up these interventions. Aim: To explore
perspectives and experiences of service users and providers on a brief
intervention (BI) for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) delivered by
nonspecialist health workers who are health officers and clinical nurses
in PHC in a rural Ethiopian district. Methods: The study team conducted
a qualitative study, comprising in-depth interviews with 26 purposively
selected participants. The participants were 14 people who had been
screened for probable AUD and were receiving the brief intervention;
four caregivers without any intervention; and eight nonspecialist health
workers who provided a single session brief intervention at four primary
care health centers in Sodo district, south Ethiopia. The study used
framework analysis. We grouped findings into five themes: acceptability,
engagement in and barriers to care, implementation of the service,
perceived impact of the BI, and unmet needs and expectations. Results:
Participants perceived the intervention to be useful, and it was
well-accepted by most service users and relatives. Participants reported
reductions in alcohol consumption and benefits in terms of their
capacity to work, increased earnings, less money wasted, and ability to
provide for their families. However, most did not attend follow-up
visits, often influenced by the belief that they did not have a serious
problem and could handle it alone. Some did not believe AUDs to be
treatable; others did not attend because of lack of money for
transportation and stigma from peers. Providing BI did not affect PHC
workers'' routine work. However, they noticed a reluctance from people
with probable AUD to speak openly about their drinking, and they were
constrained by a shortage of space. They recommended training and
involvement from community members, leaders, and health extension
workers to raise awareness, increase acceptability, refer cases, and
reduce stigma. Conclusion: The brief intervention that nonspecialist
health workers in PHC delivered was acceptable, feasible, and perceived
to have positive benefits. To extend the impact of the intervention, the
community needs to be involved to address low awareness and to tackle
stigma.'
