    An Endline research study to explore perceptions of persons with disability towards the inclusiveness of health services in two areas of Nigeria

    Terms of Reference (ToR) for a consultant to conduct a research
    study to explore perceptions of persons with disability towards
    the inclusiveness of health services in two areas of Nigeria
    Introduction
    Seeing is Believing (SiB) is a three-year (2017-2020) Comprehensive Child Eye Health in Nigeria
    (CCEHiN) programme, that seeks to make comprehensive child eye health services available and
    accessible through promotion, prevention, medical care and rehabilitation/inclusive education
    targeted at vulnerable children. The SiB programme is being implemented in eleven (11) States of the
    Federation divided into four clusters as follows: Cluster 1: Oyo, Ogun and Osun States; Cluster 2: the
    Federal Capital Territory, Nasarawa and Plateau States; Cluster 3: Kano, Katsina and Jigawa States;
    and Cluster 4: Cross River and Akwa Ibom States. The goal of the programme is to contribute to the
    reduction of avoidable blindness and visual impairment through the provision of comprehensive child
    eye health services to over 1.5 million children aged 0-14 in selected states of Nigeria. Quality of care is
    critical for client’s satisfaction and sustained use of health care services.

    Disability inclusive eye health programming provides holistic services that takes cognizance of all
    members of a community whether they have a disability or do not have a disability. It caters for all
    ranges and different types of disability. Working in two pilot secondary health facilities, the SiB
    Project will ensure barriers are identified and removed if possible, and that disability-specific
    processes are in adequately put in place.
    Purpose of Assignment:
    This study will provide a endlineline survey for work on disability inclusion at the two pilot facilities
    under the Seeing is Believing programme. The purpose of the study is to examine the perception of
    persons with disability regarding the inclusiveness of health services in their local area and compare
    with a baseline study, commenting on significance of any changes.

    The findings of the research will guide planning, programming and policy formulation as well as work
    to address barriers militating against access to services and inclusiveness of persons with disability.
    This study will also evaluate how well the SiB programme addressed the identified barriers that affects
    access to services and inclusiveness of persons with disability in the pilot sites.
    Objectives of the research study:
    The objective of this research study will be to assess the perception persons with disabilities and other
    relevant stakeholders about the inclusiveness of basic services (focusing particularly on health, also
    covering education and other services) for people with disabilities including children with disabilities
    and their peers without disabilities in comparison to baseline findings.

    The specific objectives of the study are to:

    • To understand the perceptions and experiences of persons with disability and other community
    • members regarding the inclusiveness of health and other services, including the barriers to accessing
    • services;
    • To determine the level of satisfaction of persons with disability regarding inclusiveness of health and
    • other services;
    • To understand the perceptions and attitudes of health workers in pilot facilities regarding the
    • inclusion of persons with disability in the pilot health facilities;
    • To recommend interventions and strategies that should be put in place to make pilot facilities more
    • inclusive of persons with disability, and to improve access of people with disabilities to health
    • services;
    • Understand the broader context for inclusion of persons with disabilities in society in the pilot areas
    • (attitudes towards persons with disabilities, root causes of any discrimination encountered).
    • To discern how much point 1-5 has changed (if any changes are observed) after programme
    • implementation and noting any possible attribution to programme implementation.
    • Scope of Work
    • The study will focus on two project sites - Gwagwalda (FCT) and Doma (Nasarawa state) - where
    • inclusive eye health services were piloted in secondary health facilities.

    The target groups for the study will include the following stakeholders:

    • community members;
    • health facility staff (CHEWs, doctors and Nurses) and non-facility care providers (e.g. TBAs);
    • community gatekeepers and opinion leaders;
    • parents and care givers of children (0-14 years) with disabilities;
    • people with disabilities;
    • their peers without disabilities in the same age group.

    The sample size will endeavour to be representative of the diversity of the population in the catchment
    areas; the methodology to achieve a representative sample should be clearly outlined in the research
    protocol. The study is expected to respond to but not limited to the following research questions:

    • What are the perceptions of persons with disabilities regarding the inclusiveness of and access to
    • public health services in the area?
    • What are the perceptions of persons with disabilities regarding the inclusiveness of and access to
    • the two pilot secondary health facilities?
    • To what extent are persons with disabilities, including children with disability, accessing health
    • services at the two pilot secondary health facilities?
    • What level of knowledge, awareness and understanding do stakeholders in the pilot areas have
    • about accessible and inclusive health services?
    • What barriers are faced by persons with disability, including children with disability, in accessing
    • health services, in the two pilot secondary health facilities?
    • What factors support the access and inclusion of persons with disability, including children with
    • disability, in accessing health services, in particular in the two pilot secondary health facilities?

    KAP Endline Assessment

    1. Background of Project
    Seeing is Believing (SiB) seeks to improve access to comprehensive eye health services for children.
    The project addressed the avoidable, preventable and treatable causes of blindness and visual
    impairment among children aged 0-14 in selected states of Nigeria. Equal access to both male and
    female, as well as people with other disability was also be ensured on the project.

    The components of the project include; Promotion, Prevention, Medical and
    Rehabilitation/Education.

    SiB was implemented in 11 States, across 4 geopolitical zones in the country, with each zone referred
    to as a cluster– Cluster 1 (South-West- Oyo, Osun, Ogun); Cluster 2 (North-Central- FCT, Nasarawa,
    Plateau); Cluster 3 (North-West- Kano, Katsina and Jigawa); and Cluster 4 (South-South- Cross
    Rivers and Akwa-Ibom).

    The key areas of activities for the project include:

    • Reducing the risk of eye disease and injury;
    • Increasing early detection;
    • Improving access to eye health care services;
    • Improving the systems and quality of care;
    • Improving the underlying evidence base;
    • Embedding child eye health into policies and programme of the ministries of health and education;
    • and
    • Improving the quality and availability of education for blind and visually impaired children.

    2. Aims and Objectives

    The primary aim of this endline KAP study is to examine the knowledge, attitude and practice of
    community members and health care providers towards child eye health (CEH) after the SiB
    implementation.

    Specific objectives includes;

    • To identify level of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices related to eye health at community level;
    • identify what is known and done about eye health-related subjects.
    • To identify level of involvement of community and health care workers in child eye care
    • management and determine associated challenges.
    • To identify existing knowledge gaps with regard to appropriate health seeking behaviors and
    • obstacles to initiating or completing treatment.
    • To identify barriers that undermine child eye health promotion, prevention, treatment and
    • management in the community as well as access and utilization of child eye health services within the
    • various SiB intervention communities.
    • To determine the attitude of care givers at the various levels of care towards people living with
    • disability including children with blindness.
    • To assess the perception of policy makers and opinion leaders about child eye health issues?
    • To determine the health seeking behaviors on child eye health among community members in SiB
    • intervention States?
    • To compare points 1-7 with baseline findings, highlighting areas of change.

    Timeline:

    The survey will be conducted over a period of eight (8) weeks. The first week will be used for desk
    review and development of the survey protocol, tools and instrument. Training of research/data
    collection team and pre-testing of survey tools will be conducted in the second week. Field data
    collection will be done in 5 sampled states. Data analysis and report writing will hold in week five and
    six.

    Location:

    The study will be undertaken in 5 sampled states divided into 4 clusters based on the programme
    implementation structure and will be repeated in the exact communities where the baseline KAP
    study was conducted.

    Target Population/Stakeholders
    Study Participants:
    Community Members: household members, care givers, community leaders, group leaders, religious
    leaders, TBAs.

    Clinical Group: CHEWs, Nurses, Health facility leads/Managers and policy makers
    3. Evaluation Objective, Scope and Intended use

    • One of the components of SiB is eye health promotion, which includes activities geared towards
    • engaging and empowering individuals and communities to adopt positive child eye health behaviors,
    • and create awareness to change harmful practices or attitudes; thereby improving uptake of child eye
    • health service.
    • A baseline KAP study was conducted before implementation. This KAP study identified knowledge
    • gaps, cultural beliefs, or behavioral patterns that may facilitate understanding and action, as well as
    • pose problems or create barriers for the programme. It revealed the understanding of the community
    • on CEH, their feelings towards the subject, as well as any preconceived ideas that they may have
    • towards it, and the ways in which they demonstrate their knowledge and attitude through their
    • actions. This endline study seeks to measure the same by using the same tools and similar
    • methodologies to discern how well the SiB programme worked in improving the knowledge of
    • beneficiaries and changing unwanted attitudes and practices of beneficiaries.

    In order to achieve the study objectives as above, the study team will follow the steps as outlined
    below:
    4. Development of the Research Protocol
    A research protocol will be developed to provide the road map for the conduct of the KAP study. The
    protocol will also be used to obtain an ethical approval from the National research and ethical
    committee.
    1. Desk Review: A literature search of relevant materials, documents, journal articles, and global
    best practices will be undertaken by the research team under the leadership of the PI with support
    and guidance from the PD. The results will be used as a broad guidance, which could be adapted
    in the context of this study.
    2. Develop Data Collection Tools: Data collection tools will be will be adapted from the baseline
    tools to collect quantitative and qualitative data for key study questions.
    3. Training for local enumerators and Finalization of Tools: A two-day training will be
    organized for local enumerators and a one-day field testing of tools. After testing, the data
    collection tools will be finalized and sampling will be reviewed and adjusted (if necessary) to
    ensure appropriateness to local contexts.
    Data Collection and Analysis:

    Experienced local enumerators will be responsible for data collection on the field. Household survey will be conducted using structured questionnaires for household members. Health facility staff (CHEWs and Nurses) and non-facility care providers
    (TBAs) will also receive a structured questionnaire, to explore their opinions and experiences.
    Focus Group Discussions (FGD) will be held among different groups within the community, including women groups and religious groups; to allow dynamic group interaction and exchange of perspectives among peers. In-depths Interviews (IDI) will be held with key informants including key opinion leaders in the communities, community gate-keepers, group leaders,
    religious leaders and health facility manager/lead. Qualitative data will be transcribed for analysis. Transcripts will be analyzed, while quantitative data generated from the study will be analyzed using descriptive and bivariate analyses.
    5. Report Writing: Final report writing will be done by the Principal Investigator and submitted to
    the Programme Director for review and for final approval by the Project Steering Committee.
    5. Evaluation Questions

    • 1. What is the current level of Knowledge, Attitudes and Practices related to eye health at
    • community level; including what is known and done about eye health-related subjects within the
    • various SiB intervention communities?
    • 2. What are the existing knowledge gaps with regard to appropriate health seeking behaviours and
    • obstacles to initiating or completing treatment?
    • 3. What is the level of involvement of communities and health care workers in child eye care
    • management and what are the associated challenges.
    • 4. How does the attitude of health care workers affect persons with disability including children with
    • blindness of visual impairments?
    • 5. What are barriers that undermine child eye health promotion, prevention, treatment and
    • management in the community as well as access and utilization of child eye health services within
    • the various SiB intervention communities?
    • 6. What are the perception of policy makers and opinion leaders about child eye health issues and
    • programmes?
    • 7. How do evaluation questions 1-6 compare with the baseline research questions?
    • If any, what progress or barriers have been made since the baseline study?

    Methodology
    This a mix method approach that will involve the use of both quantitative and qualitative methods. As
    differing groups in the community will likely to have differing levels of KAP, hence, communities will
    be divided into two groups- (i) the general community members, i.e. community leaders (religious and
    traditional leaders, as well as influential individuals, (ii) the clinical community, i.e. the health care
    workers and policy makers. However, the same method of data collection will be used for the two
    groups, to ensure that differences in the result are independent of the sampling method and depend
    solely on the characteristics of the population.
    Sample Selection: This will involve multi-stage sampling design. At the first stage,
    communities (Primary Sampling Units (PSU)) within the states will be purposely selected. At the
    second stage, respondents among health workers within supported health facilities; and
    community members and households will be randomly selected (consultant can suggest method
    of selection that will be representative).
    Sample Size: To select the minimum sample and spread the sample widely, it is proposed to
    select 1 state in each of the clusters and FCT. Then 3 communities will be selected in each state to
    represent the three senatorial zones; which will bring the total to 5 states and 15 communities for
    the entire study. For the qualitative and quantitative data, it is proposed that;
    Household surveys: n=225 (45 per state)
    IDI: n=30 (6 per state)
    FGD: n=30 (6 per state)
    Limitations
    Limited sample size
