Key result
Bachelor's degrees linked to ~215% greater readiness to manage hypertension and diabetes versus certificates.
Why the study?
Data on NCDs in Bidibidi are scarce, and no readiness assessment had evaluated health facilities to inform management strategies for hypertension and diabetes among refugees.
Cross-Sectional (n=148)
Yes
Effect estimate: AOR 3.15 (95% CI 0.569-17.480)
p-value: p=<0.001
While health facilities in the Bidibidi refugee settlement had high readiness scores for equipment and guidelines, healthcare worker readiness for managing hypertension and diabetes was low, indicating a need for targeted training and supervision.

Supports targeted training for certificate holders; leaves open whether education causally improves NCD management in refugee settings.
Isadru et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Hypertension and diabetes (n=148). Healthcare workers with a bachelor's degree were more likely to be ready to manage hypertension and diabetes compared to certificate holders (AOR 3.15; 95% CI 0.569-17.480; P<0.001).
