Acceptability and feasibility of integrating female genital schistosomiasis and sexual and reproductive health interventions in Kenya: a demonstration study

Female
genital schistosomiasis (FGS) is a neglected gynaecological condition that is a
manifestation of chronic urogenital schistosomiasis. This disease has
significant implications for the reproductive health and overall well-being of
women and girls, especially in areas with limited access to water, sanitation,
and hygiene (WASH). This
mixed-methods study employed an implementation research approach to assess the feasibility and acceptability of integrating FGS services into routine SRH interventions across public health facilities in three high schistosomiasis-endemic counties in Kenya. The intervention included implementing a minimum service
package, between December 2023 and December 2024, encompassing health literacy,
screening, diagnosis, and treatment. <br>These data were collected to assess the acceptability of integrating FGS and SRH services. among clients and health workers. The variables are derived from the constructs in the Theoretical Framework for Acceptability.
