BACKGROUND: Severe acute child malnutrition (SAM) is associated with high risk of
mortality. To increase programme effectiveness in management of SAM,
community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) programme that treats SAM
using ready-to-use-therapeutic foods (RUTF) has been scaled-up and integrated
into existing government health systems. The study aimed to examine caregivers'
and health workers perceptions of usages of RUTF in a chronically food insecure
area in South Ethiopia. METHODS: This qualitative study recorded, transcribed and
translated focus group discussions and individual interviews with caregivers of
SAM children and community health workers (CHWs). Data were complemented with
field notes before qualitative content analysis was applied. RESULTS: RUTF was
perceived and used as an effective treatment of SAM; however, caregivers also see
it as food to be shared and when necessary a commodity to be sold for collective
benefits for the household. Caregivers expected prolonged provision of RUTF to
contribute to household resources, while the programme guidelines prescribed RUTF
as a short-term treatment to an acute condition in a child. To get prolonged
access to RUTF caregivers altered the identities of SAM children and sought
multiple admissions to CMAM programme at different health posts that lead to
various control measures by the CHWs. CONCLUSION: Even though health workers
provide RUTF as a treatment for SAM children, their caregivers use it also for
meeting broader food and economic needs of the household endangering the
effectiveness of CMAM programme. In chronically food insecure contexts,
interventions that also address economic and food needs of entire household are
essential to ensure successful treatment of SAM children. This may need a shift
to view SAM as a symptom of broader problems affecting a family rather than a
disease in an individual child.
