Care-seeking during fatal childhood illness in rural South Africa: a qualitative study
- Abstract:
- Barriers to accessing healthcare disrupt the workings of previously accepted care-seeking models. The adapted model presented in this paper more realistically reflects care-seeking experiences and decision-making during severe childhood illness in rural South Africa and helps explain both the persistence of home deaths despite seeking healthcare, and the impact of a child's death on care-seeking in future childhood illness. This model can be used as the basis for developing interventions to reduce under-5 mortality.
