Acute Coronary Syndrome KCMC
September 6, 2023 updated by: Duke University
Community and Physician Perceptions of Chest Pain and Prevalence of Acute Coronary Syndrome Among HIV-infected and -Uninfected Patients in Moshi, Tanzania
The purpose of this study is to develop a quality improvement intervention to address barriers to evidence-based acute coronary syndrome (ACS) care in northern Tanzania.
Patients who presented to Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) will be asked to complete a survey about barriers and facilitators of health care.
In addition the survey will be administered to all providers, policymakers, and administrators participating in in-depth interviews.
Data from this survey will be used to develop a quality improvement intervention that will be piloted by KCMC staff.
Six months after the pilot program is implemented providers, patients, and administrators will be interviewed for their perspectives on the program.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Acceptability as measured by the Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM)
Time Frame: Initial ED visit (baseline)
|
The AIM tool is a 4-question survey that evaluates the acceptability of an intervention.
Responses to each question are on a 5-point Likert Scale (Strongly Agree=5, Agree=4, Neutral=3, Disagree=2, Strongly Disagree=1).
Responses of "Strongly Agree" (5) and "Agree" (4) are considered to indicate a more acceptable intervention.
The responses to each question will be averaged together to give an acceptability score between 1 and 5 for each respondent.
The primary outcome will be the overall mean acceptability score among respondents.
A mean acceptability score >= 4 will be considered to indicate acceptability.
