dc.descriptionThis article identifies and explores the perceived barriers which prevent healthcare workers from delivering SC counselling to patients in Zambezi region, Namibia.
dc.description.abstractOver the past few years, several surveys have been conducted regarding smoking in Namibia; 9,10,15–19 however, there has been lack of information on the barriers towards the provision of SC intervention in Zambezi region, therefore increasing the challenges associated with developing prevention interventions. Knowledge of the barriers towards the provision of SC intervention would be essential in the design and implementation of SC strategies. Therefore, the aim of the current study was to contribute to knowl edge gaps on the identification of barriers which prevent HCWs from delivering SC therapy and treatment to patients in Zambezi region, Namibia. To our knowledge, this is the only study explor ing the barriers that prevent HCWs in Zambezi region from engag ing in SC with patients. The study outcomes presented an understanding of the regular perceived barriers that prevent HCWs in Zambezi from delivering SC intervention to their patients who smoke. The main outcomes of this study were divided into three separate categories namely; structural, healthcare workers and patient-based barriers.
