The overall aim of this study was to understand how diabetic and hypertensive patients experience PHC in Cape Town, as well as their capacity for self- management of their condition. The specific objectives were: to explore how patients react to existing health care materials/interventions at the health care facility; to identify the needs these patients have for information and behavioural change counselling; to investigate the perceived barriers to lifestyle modification in relation to the patients and to the broader social and economic environment and to investigate the sources of personal motivation to control their illness through lifestyle modification. 2015-05-18T14:22:34Z 2015-05-18T14:22:34Z 2014 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12818 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
