Includes bibliographical references (leaves 44-48). In his experience working in the Metro District Health Services Clinics of the Department of Western Cape, the researcher has encountered numerous cases of sub-standard quality of medical care for mental health patients. These encounters, as well as a need to audit the general quality of care of patients with chronic diseases of lifestyle, have been the motivation behind the creation of this research project.The study is a retrospective cohort study using patient folders as a source of data. It compares the standards, processes and outcomes of the management of hypertension in two populations at Crossroads Community Health Clinic in Cape Town. The first cohort consists of hypertensive patients with psychiatric illnesses, and the second are hypertensive patients without psychiatric illnesses. The study attempts to examine the quality of care of established hypertension in patients with psychiatric illnesses. 2015-01-13T04:03:25Z 2015-01-13T04:03:25Z 2009 Master Thesis Masters MMed http://hdl.handle.net/11427/12136 eng application/pdf Department of Public Health and Family Medicine Faculty of Health Sciences University of Cape Town |
