FACTEURS INFLUENÇANT L’OBSERVANCE DE LA CHIMIO PREVENTION DU PALUDISME SAISONNIER CHEZ LES ENFANTS DE 3 A 59 MOIS DANS LE DISTRICT SANITAIRE DE KOULIKORO, MALI, 2024
Abstract
This study investigated factors associated with adherence to the seasonal malaria chemoprevention (SMC) regimen in children aged 3 to 59 months in the Koulikoro health district during the 2024 malaria transmission season. The objective was to investigate factors influencing adherence to the last two doses of SMC in children who received the first dose of sulfadoxine-pyrimethamine plus amodiaquine. The study was a qualitative cross sectional design. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals, distribution agents, and mothers. We then conducted three focus groups with women whose children were eligible for SMC. The sample was purposive (n = 18). The study revealed that the main factors influencing SMC adherence were: lack of training of distributors, poor road conditions during the rainy season, lack of information among parents/guardians, insufficient distribution agents, and parental/guardian reluctance related to the occurrence of side effects. The study highlighted gaps in distribution agent training, monitoring, and misperceptions about SMC. Thus, training distributors and raising parental awareness about the importance of the last two doses could significantly contribute to parental adherence to SMC.
