Research Trends in Nursing and Health Care in Low-Resource Countries: Kenya's Example
The delivery of healthcare and nursing practice are severely hampered in low- resource nations like Kenya by inadequate infrastructure, a lack of workers, and a lack of funding for research. A growing corpus of research addressing creative strategies and context specific solutions has emerged in spite of these obstacles. In Kenya, research in nursing and healthcare has expanded dramatically, tackling important health issues like infectious diseases, non- communicable diseases, maternal and child health, and workforce issues.
Increased scholarly participation, governmental programs, and global partnerships are all responsible for this progress. But persistent obstacles such as a lack of mentorship, inadequate infrastructure, and financial limitations keep getting in the way of new developments. To speed up progress, it is crucial to increase funding for research, improve mentorship programs, use digital technology, and encourage policy involvement. Kenya can improve patient care and public health outcomes by giving priority to these initiatives and advancing its nursing and health care research agenda. It is therefore, essential to comprehend these research trends in order to improve patient outcomes, fortify health systems, and create effective
policies.
