Thesis:
Individual and environmental factors associated with obesity among young children in
primary schools in Ghana

Description:
Overweight and obesity are risk factors for non-communicable diseases such as cardio-
vascular diseases and some cancers. Understanding factors associated with overweight/
obesity among children present an opportunity for timely and appropriate interventions.
Utilising the socioecological framework, the PhD assessed the prevalence and determinants
of childhood overweight/obesity and explored population level policies that encourage
supportive environments for healthy living. The prevalence of overweight/obesity was 16.4%,
indicating that overweight/obesity is a public health issue in primary school learners. There
were gaps in the literature in terms of population-based interventions. A number of modifiable
risk factors were identified and recommendations were made to for relevant stakeholders.

Thesis:
Unpacking capacity development: A systemic exploration of a partnership of African
universities to develop capacity on health workforce development

Description:
It explores the partnership between UWC and 3 African Universities and Health Ministries (in
Rwanda, Mozambique and Ethiopia) to develop capacity in health workforce development,
geared to strengthening national leadership and training capacity in health workforce
development. All three international examiners praised the thesis as an important, politically
and culturally sensitive, contribution to our understanding of the importance and complexity
of collaboration between academic institutions and between academic institutions and
ministries of health, and to strengthening collaborative practice in future.

Thesis:
Investigating predictors of health related quality of life and functional status in middle-aged
to older adults with hypertension living in a selected urban community in South Africa

Description:
Hypertension is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease, strokes, and preventable
cause of premature deaths in South Africa. Quality of life (QoL) is inherent to everyone, and
a decrease in QoL increases susceptibility to other ailments. This PhD project investigated
which socio-demographic, psychosocial and disease characteristics are the best predictors
of QoL and functionality in individuals with hypertensive. The outcome of the study revealed
higher QoL and functionality in married, less stressed using proactive coping, the higher
educated, and disability free individuals. The study highlights the adverse impact of disability
and presence of comorbid diseases on QoL and functional status. The value of the study lies
in the fact that assessing how an individual perceives his or her health is necessary to
develop appropriate treatment strategies which should lead to positive health outcomes.

Sustainable health-promoting physical education in schools in the Zambezi region of
Namibia: Developing guidelines for curriculum development

Description:
The study was conducted against a background in which Physical Education is rapidly
disappearing from school curricula in Namibia. The demise of the subject is prevalent across
Africa despite the proven health benefits associated with active lifestyles. The outcomes of
the research highlights the tension existing between the aims and content of the Physical
Education curricula which is brought about by a lack of input from stakeholders, the
marginalised status of the subject as part of the school curriculum and the politics which
influence Physical Education curriculum renewal mainly caused by governmental over control
on what needs to be changed. The research concluded with a set of curriculum guidelines
that should be adhered to if we wish to implement Physical Education curricula successfully.

Developing guidelines for indigenous parenting practices: A case study of Sekhukhune
District, Limpopo Province, South Africa

Description:
All cultural groups have their own way of parenting their children. South African families tend
to follow western parenting practices, not always appreciating their own traditions and
customs. The purpose of the study was to explore indigenous parenting practices to develop
indigenous parenting guidelines together with parents. This qualitative, case study design
sampled 52 participants from six villages in the Sekhukhune district in Limpopo, consisting
of parents, grandparents, and traditional leaders. In-depth interviews, focus groups, and
workshops were used, within the Afrocentricity framework to guide the study. Ms Mamaleka’s
study produced rich, thick findings focused on a unique topic that brought traditional
parenting practices to present-day social work policy, practice and education.

Thesis:
Guidelines for sustainable women co-operatives

Description:
In 2005 the government of South Africa introduced legislation to promote the development
of co-operatives as a vehicle for job creation and poverty reduction (Co-operative Act 14 of
2005). Despite the Billions of Rands that were invested in the promotion and development
of co-operatives, close to 90% failed. In this multiple case study research the candidate
studied in depth 15 cooperatives in four provinces in South Africa. The aim of the research
was to learn from successfully functioning co-operatives, how the co-operative was formed,
managed and sustained. Using Mazzarol, Simmons and Limnios’s Co-operative Enterprise
business model as theoretical Framework to analyse the co-operatives, key elements
emanating from the results were used to formulate the guidelines, in particular for women
owned cooperatives.

Thesis:
Equity, access and utilisation in the state funded universal insurance scheme (RSBY/MSBY)
in Chhattisgarh State, India: What are the implications for Universal Health Coverage?

Description:
Sulakshana Nandi’s PhD examined the equity and access impacts of a major insurance
scheme introduced in India in 2009, which enabled public funds to be used extensively for
private hospital care for the first time. Through a series of empirical studies in Chhattisgarh
State, where she has lived and worked as a health advocate for many years, Ms Nandi
demonstrated the failure of the publicly funded health insurance scheme to achieve its
goals of improved affordability, access and equity of health care. Her PhD raises important
questions on the value on such financing models for advancing universal health coverage,
particularly in the context of a highly commercialized private health sector, providing
important lessons for other countries (such as South Africa) embarking on similar reforms.

Thesis:
The effect of the Circle of Security Parenting Program on parental self-efficacy and
internalizing behaviours in Early Childhood Development

Description:
In Early Childhood Development (ECD), the attachment relationship is pivotal in determining
developmental outcomes of children. Parents act as a buffer against adversity for the child, but
often lack the skills for this. The Circle of Security Parenting Program (COS-P) aims to equip the
parent with skills and guidelines for more effective parenting. Using mixed methods, Jenny
tested the feasibility and effect of the program on parental self-efficacy and child internalizing
behaviours. The findings show a significant reduction in internalizing behaviours, as reported
by parents and teachers; and significant improvement in parental self-efficacy after the
implementation of the COS-P. These effects were also sustained at the follow-up time frame.
This study makes a significant contribution not only to parenting and child mental health in
ECD but also to the applicability of an international programme in South Africa.

Thesis:
Economics of the South African toothpaste industry

Description:
In South Africa, an estimated 90% of caries remains untreated, disproportionately affecting
the poor and detrimentally. Use of an effective fluoridated toothpaste is the best clinical
practice available today in caries management. The availability, pricing and affordability of
fluoridated toothpastes marketed to South African households was investigated and
mechanisms to improve financial access among low-income households was identified.
Following a survey of commercially available fluoridated toothpastes, affordability relative
to household income brackets was assessed using a modification of the WHO/HAI’s
essential medicines pricing protocol. Inequity in affordability was found between low
income and affluent households with implications in terms of oral health and economic
hardship suffered by the poor. To redress this social injustice, a number of price regulatory
policies and funding mechanisms were proposed to stimulate dialogue and urge all
relevant stakeholders to take action.
