Knowledge, attitudes and practices of health care providers towards isoniazide preventive therapy (IPT) provision in Addis Ababa, EthiopiaAzmera Molla Tikuye, Tikuye, Azmera Molla 24 October 2013 (has links)
This study assessed healthcare providers’ knowledge, attitudes and practices towards IPT provision for people living with HIV (PLHIV) in Addis Ababa, the capital city of Ethiopia.
A quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study design was used for the study and data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire from 104 clinicians working in ART clinics.
The findings show that healthcare providers who participated in this study had a mean value of high knowledge, positive attitude and good practice towards IPT provision for PLHIV. Significant association was found between knowledge and attitude (P=0.000) but no significant associations were found between knowledge and practice, attitude and practice as well as between the type of facility (public/private) and level of practice.
This implied that, the low level of IPT implementation in Addis Ababa doesn’t seem due to health care providers’ lack of knowledge and resistance to provide IPT for people living with HIV. As a result, the researcher recommends for further researches of other possible factors like; the reliability of IPT information/data management, drug supply and the leadership and governance of the health system that IPT program is a direct concern. / Health Studies / M.

Preconception strategies to improve maternal and newborn outcomes in Blantyre Urban, MalawiKadango, Alice 05 1900 (has links)
The study was done to assess the information and care the men and women have on PCC and develop strategies that could improve provision of PCC that could advance maternal and newborn outcome after pregnancy in Malawi. Most for the interventions to improve pregnancy outcome are done too late in Malawi but there is an opportunity during preconception period to plan to improve the health of the couple so that the goal of a healthy mother and baby is attained. The objectives were to: explore and describe the knowledge men and women of childbearing age have on HTSP and PCC, identify variables that influence men and women to acquire appropriate knowledge on PCC and finally to develop strategies that could assist provision of PCC in developing countries like Malawi. Adverse issues that affect the couples could be addressed promptly before the occurrence of pregnancy. A quantitative non-experimental descriptive-correlation design method was used to determine the knowledge men and women of childbearing have on HTSP and PCC. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 300 men and women of childbearing age. The target population for the study was prospective parents that are couples that have an intention to conceive, women of childbearing age that could be accessible at family planning, gyneacological and under-five clinics between the ages of 18-35 years. A questionnaire was adapted from a study conducted in Texas. SPSS version 20 was used to analyse the data by generating frequencies and chi- square. Kruskal Wallis test was used to determine relationship between variables and knowledge on preconception care. The constructs examined were psychological preparation, reproductive health care and the physical care that are provided to ensure a healthy pregnancy outcome. With a 100% response rate the findings indicated a gap of information and care on PCC.Services on PCC were not available in the clinics which indicated a great need to empower health care providers on PCC that could reduce maternal and neonatal mortality rate. The findings were used to develop relevant preconception strategies that would assist health providers to give PCC that would improve maternal and newborn outcomes in Malawi. / D. Litt. et Phil.

Desempenho organizacional de operadora de planos de saúde suplementar no Brasil : estudo de caso de uma Cooperativa MédicaCarmo, Eduardo do 21 October 2016 (has links)
Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico / O aumento da participação do setor privado no campo dos serviços de saúde vem ganhado
destaque desde a década de 1980. O governo brasileiro, a partir da segunda metade da década
de 1990, redesenhou o seu papel ao romper o monopólio estatal e permitir a expansão da
atividade privada em diversos campos da economia, passando a ser mediador e regulador.
Nesse contexto, a instituição da Agência Nacional de Saúde (ANS), em janeiro de 2000,
marcou uma etapa da regulação do setor, que passou por diversas transformações que
ocasionaram o aumento dos custos e diminuição do número de Operadoras de Planos de
Saúde (OPS) em atividade. A interesse em ações que visam manter a saúde financeira dessas
empresas é, portanto, o ponto de partida deste estudo. Trata-se de um estudo de caso que tem
por objetivo investigar a influência de fatores organizacionais e ambientais, a partir da visão
dos gestores de uma pequena cooperativa de trabalho médico (chamada de OPX), que
contribuíram para a construção de desempenho organizacional superior, evidênciado em um
estudo anterior. A investigação se faz a partir de quatro categorias analíticas que estão
relacionadas ao desempenho organizacional: cultura organizacional, estrutura organizacional,
gestão estratégica e ambiente externo. Os dados foram coletados a partir de três fontes de
evidências: documentos, observação direta e entrevistas semi-estruturadas com a participação
de gestores-chave da organização. Os dados foram analisados a partir do método de análise de
conteúdo. Foram identificados elementos que caracterizam a cultura organizacional da
cooperativa. Quanto ao tipo de estrutura, trata-se de burocracia profissional especializada. Os
processos formais de gestão estratégica não são efetivamente utilizadas, mas as ferramentas
operacionais de controle se mostraram rígidas. E a respeito do ambiente externo, mostraramse
relevantes a concorrência, a regulação, o judiciário e a economia. Todos eles, em alguma
medida, influenciaram o desempenho da organização. Não foi constatada nenhuma outra
característica para a definição de nova categoria que pudesse ajudar a responder a pergunta de
pesquisa. / The increased participation of the private sector in the field of health services has gained
prominence since the 1980s. The Brazilian government, from the second half of the 1990s,
has redesigned its role in breaking the state monopoly and allowed the expansion of private
activity in various fields of economy, becoming a mediator and regulator. In this context, the
establishment of the National Health Agency (ANS), in January 2000, marked a stage of
sector regulation, which went through several transformations that led to the increase in costs
and decrease in the number of Health Plans Operators (OPS) in activity. The concern with
actions aimed at maintaining the financial health of these companies is therefore the starting
point of this study. This is a case study that aims to investigate the influence of organizational
and environmental factors, from the perspective of the managers of a small cooperative
medical work (called OPX), which contributed to the construction of higher organizational
performance, shown in a previous study. The investigation is based on four analytical
categories that are related to organizational performance: organizational culture,
organizational structure, strategic management and external environment. Data were collected
from three sources of evidence: documents, direct observation and semi-structured interviews
with the participation of key managers of the organization. Data were analyzed using Content
Analysis method. Elements that characterize the organizational culture of the cooperative
were identified. Regarding the type of structure, it is specialized professional bureaucracy.
The formal process of strategic management are not effectively used, but operational control
tools proved rigid . And about the external environment were relevant competition, regulation,
the judiciary and the economy. All of them, to some extent, influenced the organization's
performance. It was not found any other feature for defining new category that could help
answer the research question. / Dissertação (Mestrado)
