▼a Background: Neurocysticercosis (NCC) is a preventable infectious disease that is considered a major cause of epilepsy in developing nations. Bolivia is one of the least developed nations in Latin America and in rural Bolivia persons with epilepsy (PWE) go largely without treatment. Epilepsy is a devastating disease that has the capacity to significantly decrease the quality of life, not only for PWE, but for their families as well. The development and implementation of a self-sustainable program for the prevention and treatment of NCC and the consistent treatment of epilepsy is essential. However, research on epilepsy and NCC in Bolivia, whether in the urban or rural population, is extremely sparse. The central premise of this study is that rural Bolivian communities have the need for a self-sustaining program for the treatment of epilepsy and for the prevention of NCC.Purpose: Using a qualitative descriptive design, the purpose of the proposed study is to determine the knowledge and their perceptions of community barriers and facilitators among health care providers and community leaders regarding NCC and epilepsy.Sample: A sample of 12 health care providers and community leaders representing 14 communities in the Bajo Isoso district, El Chaco region, Bolivia were included.Methods: Gatekeepers were identified and assisted with entry into the communities and identification of participants. A semi-structured interview format was used to elicit participant descriptions of knowledge of cysticercosis and epilepsy, and of their perceptions of community barriers and facilitators regarding cysticercosis and epilepsy. Individual interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, coded manually, and analyzed using the content analysis method.Findings: Data analysis revealed four major themes |
