  • Utilisation of ICDS Services by Pregnant and Lactating Mothers in India: Evidence from NFHS-5 Survey
    Jyoti Vijay, Gyan Chandra Kashyap, Sarala R, Usha Manjunath, Kamalesh Kumar Patel
    Journal of Health Management, 2025
    The Integrated Child Development Services (ICDS) is one of the world’s largest health programmes promoting the holistic development of children and mothers through over 1.3 million Anganwadi Centres (AWCs) across the country. Administered by Anganwadi Workers (AWWs), these centres provide healthcare, nutrition and early education at the village level. The study aims to assess the utilisation of various ICDS services among pregnant and lactating mothers. By using the National Family Health Survey 2019–2021, a total of 232,920 married women (pregnant and lactating) were analysed using STATA 14 software. Multivariate logistic regression was used to examine the association of factors with utilisation of services. The study found that the proportion of pregnant and lactating mothers who received any services was 70.2% and 66.1%, respectively. An increased proportion of pregnant and lactating mothers received supplementary nutrition followed by health check-ups and health and nutrition education, respectively. Among pregnant women, factors such as mother’s age 35–49 years (OR = 0.66; 95% CI = 0.708,0.749), higher education (OR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.708,0.749), having four and more children (OR = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.881,0.928), middle socio-economic status (OR = 1.31; 95% CI = 1.276,1.349), rural areas (OR = 1.91; 95% CI = 1.866,1.956) and any member of household having health insurance (OR = 1.65; 95% CI = 1.616,1.686), respectively are significantly associated with utilisation of services. Among lactating mothers, the associate factors were 35–49 years old mothers (OR = 0.74; 95% CI = 0.715,0.757), higher education (OR = 0.76; 95% CI = 0.745,0.786), having four or more children (OR = 0.90; 95% CI = 0.877,0.922), middle socio-economic status (OR = 1.28; 95% CI = 1.249,1.317), rural areas (OR = 1.77; 95% CI = 1.728,1.809) and any member of their household having health insurance (OR = 1.51; 95% CI = 1.484,1.544), respectively. Thus, age, education, high birth order, caste, place of residence and health insurance were significantly associated with the utilisation of ICDS services. However, there is a need for more research to develop robust strategies to increase utilisation and improve the overall health and well-being of the beneficiaries.
  • Healthcare Managers’ Perspectives on Primary Healthcare Centre Performance in Bengaluru, India: A Qualitative Analysis
    R. Bangalore Sathyananda, A. Krumeich, U. Manjunath, A. de Rijk, C. P. van Schayck
    Journal of Health Management, 2025
    The major providers of basic health needs for the general population in India are centres known as primary healthcare centres (PHCs), which are mostly government-owned and operated. PHCs address the basic health needs of the population by providing health education, promotion and preventive healthcare, among other services. The performance of PHCs is, therefore, critical to public health. This study aims to identify PHC performance indicators and the various factors that affect performance from the perspectives of mid-level healthcare managers. In-depth interviews were conducted among the managers at the taluk, block and district levels in the Bengaluru urban district to explore and understand their perspective on PHC performance. The healthcare managers expressed their views on the PHC performance as the performance that was specific to various programme targets, the PHC environment and the rapport of centre personnel with patients. They also described various factors at the PHC that contributed to the functioning of these centres. The managers identified doctors as key persons for PHC performance. According to the managers, doctors not only contribute to the standard output indicators by delivering preventive and curative services at PHC but also have multiple responsibilities as able leaders. The managers also specified the PHCs’ dependence on the health system and the local political bodies to function in the sociopolitical atmosphere. The managers also identified themselves as PHC leaders but in a limited role in the overall PHC performance, as centre supervisors. Managers also emphasised that doctors were responsible for the overall harmonisation of all the mentioned components and dependencies of PHC functioning. According to the managers, PHC performance consists of the PHC environment and rapport with patients, in addition to the centres’ output indicators. They concluded that doctors at PHCs, as able leaders, played a significant role in PHC performance.
  • NMPhenogen: a comprehensive database for genotype–phenotype correlation in neuromuscular genetic disorders
    Usha Manjunath, Venkatesh R, Sacheta Sudhendra Kulkarni, Harshatha N. Reddy, Anupama Anil, Rakesh Kumar Mishra, Gayatri Rangarajan Iyer
    Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2025
    Neuromuscular genetic disorders (NMGDs) are genetically and clinically diverse group of inherited diseases that affect approximately 1 in 1,000 people worldwide with a calculated prevalence of 37 per 10,000 in the general population. These disorders arise from a variety of genetic changes such as insertions, deletions, duplications and expansions of repeats in more than 747 nuclear and mitochondrial genes critical for the function of peripheral nerves, motor neurons, neuromuscular junctions or skeletal muscles, leading to progressive weakness and degeneration of muscles. Major subtypes include muscular dystrophies, congenital myopathies, motor neuron diseases, peripheral neuropathies, and mitochondrial myopathies. Clinical presentation of NMGDs is highly variable in the age of onset, severity and pattern of muscle involvement, often leading to prolonged and complex diagnostic process. Conventional diagnostic methods have relied on clinical history, physical examination and invasive procedures like muscle biopsy. But the development of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed diagnostics by enabling comprehensive analysis of NMGD-related genes. Despite this advancement, interpreting the numerous variants identified by NGS remains challenging. The guidelines of the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) offer a standardized approach to variant classification as pathogenic, likely pathogenic, variant of uncertain significance, likely benign and benign. However, this requires the integration of complex evidence from population data, computational predictions, and functional assays. The major challenge is the robust correlation of genotypic information with the huge phenotypic range of NMGDs which is a task complicated by the unavailability of population-specific genetic databases. To address these issues, we have developed NMPhenogen ( https://gi-lab-tigs.github.io/Homepage/ ), a new database designed to enhance the diagnosis and understanding of NMGDs. NMPhenogen is a centralized repository for data related to NMGD-associated genes and variants along with their clinical presentations. It includes two primary modules: NMPhenoscore, which enhances disease-phenotype correlations, and a Variant classifier, which facilitates standardized variant classification based on published guidelines. This combined resource aims to streamline the diagnostic process, support clinical decision-making, and eventually contribute to improving patient care and genetic counseling.
  • Quality of life among community health workers in the districts of Koppal, Raichur and Mysore, Karnataka State, India
    Rajendra D, Sarala R, Usha Manjunath
    Clinical Epidemiology and Global Health, 2024
    Aim: To explore the Quality of life among the community health workers and its association with the socio-demographic variables. Subject and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 739 Community Health Workers (CHWs), where a multistage random sampling technique was used and three districts were selected based on the proportion of Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) in the districts of Karnataka. "WHOQOL-BREF" was used along with a Sociodemographic profile to determine the Quality of Life (QoL) among the CHWs. Multivariate regression models, T-test and ANOVA tests were used for the analysis. Results: The overall Quality of life mean ± SD was 3.4 ± 0.95. Domain-wise social relationship was found to be highest with a mean ± SD of 66.5 ± 21.7 and Environmental domain was found to be the least with a mean ± SD of 48.6 ± 16.6. The Multivariate regression models reveal that education up to primary level, an individual income of INR 5000 and more, and family income of INR 15000 to 40000 contribute to the higher score, whereas total family members of 5-8, age 25 to 44, and education of secondary schooling, PUC/diploma contribute to the lower scores of QoL. Conclusion: The results of the study showed that CHWs had neither good nor bad quality of life. And there is a need to improve physical and environmental factors such as job satisfaction, population coverage, better income, physical safety, good working environment, better transportation facilities which can improve the QoL among CHWs.
  • Psychometric Analysis of the Indian Version of the Patient Safety Culture Tool (I-HSOPSC 2.0) Validation
    Aileen J, Pushpanjali K, Frank Federico, Lallu Joseph, Usha Manjunath
    Journal of Health Management, 2024
    Patient safety, which is both an overarching principle and a key factor in determining the quality of healthcare, continues to be a priority in healthcare systems on a global scale. A cross-sectional study in accredited Indian hospitals aimed to evaluate the HSOPSC V-2 (Hospital Survey on Patient Safety Culture). 1,603 healthcare professionals participated, assessing psychometric features using confirmatory factor analysis in SMART PLS 4. The average composite positive response rate was 64.8%. High positive responses (79%) were seen in ‘teamwork’, ‘communication about error’, and ‘hospital management support for patient safety’. However, ‘staffing and work pace’ (30%), ‘response to error’ (50%), ‘communication openness’, and ‘reporting patient safety events’ (both 59%) had lower positive responses, indicating room for improvement. Findings suggest I-HOSPSC 2.0’s content validity, reliability, and construct validity in measuring patient safety culture in Indian hospitals. It can aid administrators in assessing safety culture and improving patient safety and treatment efficacy. Notably, this is the inaugural HSOPSC V-2 validation research in the Indian healthcare context. Future research should explore the tool’s psychometric properties based on care setting levels due to substantial differences between public and private healthcare setups in India.
  • The Patient's Perspective on the Functioning of the Primary Healthcare Centres in Bangalore, India: An Illustrated Guide
    R Bangalore Sathyananda, A Krumeich, U Manjunath, A de Rijk, CP van Schayck
    Journal of Patient Experience, 2024
    India's healthcare system is, for a large part, organized around a vast network of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs) that form the pillar on which the public healthcare sector functions. The World Health Organization (WHO) has emphasized the important role that PHCs play in strengthening community health and the provision of healthcare. Although a few studies have assessed specific elements of services offered by PHCs, only a few have studied the patients’ perspectives on the functioning and performance of PHCs in the Indian context. A qualitative research methodology was employed to explore the opinions of 188 patients attending one of three PHCs in Bengaluru (India), using in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. Results showed that patients assessed PHC based on the nine themes that broadly can be classified into components of the center, and that of the personnel. The patients valued the behavioural aspects of the personnel during service delivery and should be configured into the PHC performance.

    Rajeshwari Bangalore Sathyananda, Angelique De Rijk, Usha Manjunath, Anja Krumeich, Onno Van Schayck, and
    Asia Pacific Journal of Health Management, 2023
    Background: Primary healthcare in India comprises health promotion and preventive health interventions at the population level, which are rendered at dedicated centres called Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCs). The performance of PHCs is vital for overall improvement in the general health of the population, specifically in a low- and middle-income country like India. It is unknown how performance at the centre level is related to performance at the provider and patient levels. The aim of this study is to explore patterns in the performance of three PHCs with a low, medium and the high number of babies delivered.
 Methodology: Primary and secondary data from the three selected PHCs were collected. Two questionnaire studies were done: one on the well-being of providers (Quality of Life and Engagement), and another on PHC performance as assessed by patients using the newly developed tool ‘Questionnaire for Patient’s Perspective on Performance of Primary Healthcare Centres’. The data from the centre, provider and patient levels were compared across the three centres using ANOVA tests.
 Results: The new tool had high internal consistency at Cronbach’s alpha score of 0.938. It was found that the PHC with the least delivery had significantly higher PHC performance in comparison with high and medium-delivery PHCs (p<0.000).
 Conclusion: The PHC performance assessment from multiple perspectives offers a realistic insight into the centres, which is valid even though agreement on the various perspectives could not be obtained. The new Q4PHC is a reliable instrument to assess PHC performance from the patient’s perspective.

    Gyan Chandra Kashyap, R. Sarala, Usha Manjunath
    Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022
    ObjectiveTo assess the impact of Spirulina Chikki supplementation on the nutritional status of children (6 months−6 years).DesignA cross-sectional study design was adopted to assess the changes in nutritional status among the children (after 12 months of intervention period). The bassline and endline assessment were carried out from September 2020 to August 2021, respectively.SettingTotal 106 villages (108 Anganwadi Centers in nine circles) from Tumkur District were covered.MethodsChildren aged 6 months−6 years were the study subjects. Anthropometric measurements viz., height, weight, and mid-arm circumference were collected from total 971 and 838 children during baseline and endline assessments correspondingly. The information on children's health and nutrition status was gathered from the mothers of sampled children. WHO's Anthro and AnthroPlus software were utilized to estimate the anthropometric measurements (Stunting, wasting, and underweight) of study participants.ResultsThe study found apparent disparities in the prevalence of stunting, wasting and underweight among the male and female children. There was a significant decline viz., 4% (28.6%-baseline to 24.5%-end line) in the prevalence of severe wasting. Also, severe stunting dropped by 6% at end line (30%-end-line to 24%-baseline). Improvement in nutritional status was evident among both female male children in all three indicators stunting, wasting, and underweight. Mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) measurement shows substantial improvements from baseline to end line: SAM (5.3–0.6%), MAM (23–9%), and normal (72–91%). The study discloses significant improvements in the nutritional status among those children who consumed spirulina chikkis/granules for a longer duration viz., 9–10 months as compared to those who consumed for lesser duration.ConclusionsFindings reveal improvement in nutritional status among the beneficiaries who consumed spirulina chikki/granules as per the recommended quantity (amount) during the intervention period. Post intervention, spirulina chikki supplementation for nutritional intervention is implied to address large scale malnutrition among young children.
  • Assessment of Workload of ASHAs: A Multi-stakeholder Perspective Study for Task-sharing and Task-shifting

    Journal of Health Management, 2022
    The Accredited Social Health Activist (ASHA) programme has proven to be cost-effective and successful in addressing the growing shortage of health workers and reaching the vulnerable. ASHA’s contribution towards the improvement in maternal and child health and other health programmes at the community level is reported and acknowledged widely in literature. However, nearly 16 years into the introduction of ASHA, challenges in terms of workload, fatigue, poor work–life balance and low levels of compensation have emerged. Aim: To assess the workload on ASHAs, impact of their responsibilities on their quality of life and the potential for structured task sharing/shifting among other healthcare workers. Methodology: The study used a mixed-method approach with data and source triangulation. A multi-stage random sampling method was used to collect the data. Qualitative research was carried out to explore ASHAs’ and stakeholders’ perspectives, and a thematic analysis was undertaken using NVivo-12. ASHAs’ quality of life was also measured using the World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHO QOL)-BREF. The study was carried out in three districts of Karnataka: Mysuru, Raichur and Koppala. Results: The majority of ASHAs reported that they experience work burden in terms of population coverage, extended hours of work and additional tasks. Lack of access to transportation, inadequate support from other healthcare personnel and delayed payment of incentives add to them often feeling overworked and underpaid. The research also elicited perspectives on ASHAs’ work from different stakeholders. Findings from the study emphasise the necessity for sharing/shifting of selected tasks among other frontline health workers based on complexity and capabilities.
  • Providers' perspectives on the performance of primary healthcare centres in India: The missing link
    Rajeshwari Bangalore Sathyananda, Anja Krumeich, Usha Manjunath, Angelique Rijk, C. P. Schayck
    International Journal of Health Planning and Management, 2021
    Background Primary healthcare centres (PHCs) form the foundation of the Indian public health system, and thus their effective functioning is paramount in ensuring the population's health. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has set six aspects of performance assessment for general health systems, which are hardly applicable to the PHC setup in a low‐ and middle‐income country. The Primary Health Care Performance Initiative (PHCPI) has prescribed a framework with five domains consisting of 36 indicators for primary healthcare performance assessment from a policy point of view. For the assessment to be realistic, it should include inputs from stakeholders involved in care delivery, so this study examines the perspectives of healthcare providers at PHCs in India. Methodology The authors used qualitative research methodology in the form of responsive evaluations of healthcare provider's interviews to understand the indicators of PHC performance. Results and Conclusion The study results showed that healthcare providers considered efficient teamwork, opportunities for enhancing provider skills and knowledge, job satisfaction, effective PHC administration, and good community relationship as PHC performance assessment. These domains of performance could be considered the ‘missing link’ in PHC assessment, since they are deemed important by providers and did not coincide with the WHO aspects and the PHCPI performance assessment framework.
