Analýza systému zdravotnictví a jeho financování / Analysis of health care systemJandejsková, Klára January 2013 (has links)
This master's thesis is focused on the comparison of different systems of payment for health care in the Czech Republic. Insurance companies play an essential part in financing health care and they are also responsible for setting the rules for health care providers, who in turn modify the systems of financing health care that had been set out. This is the reason why the issues concerning insurance companies are discussed in both parts of this thesis, firstly the theoretical side and secondly the practical one. The theoretical part of this thesis discusses the structure of the czech healthcare system as a whole and then the payment systems set up for individual providers of health care are analysed in the following chapters. The practical part shows examples of how the payment system for health care works, what problems it encounters, what exactly is the role of insurance companies and how to deal with presented problems. The aim of this thesis is to provide an overview of the types of payment systems for health care used in the Czech Republic and further focus on the specifics and details that are analysed along with their potential impact on the amount of the final payment.

Health Systems in Transition: Priorities, Policies and Health OutcomesBorisova, Liubov January 2009 (has links)
The dissertation deals with the links between health care systems and health outcomes in the so-called 'transition' countries. The main questions to be addressed are: ''Do health care systems and their transitions influence health outcomes in the transition area and i f they do - how?" The combination o f qualitative techniques and econometric methods allowed for a creation o f the structural classifications o f the health care systems in transition and produced important findings. Firstly, health care transitions, and especially their structural component, are found to be significant in determining health status in the CEE and CIS countries. Secondly, however, the socio-economic determinants o f health were established to also play a major role in determining health inequalities in the transition area. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)

South African health care practitioners’ experiences of the current health care delivery system in Uthungulu DistrictStoyanov, Joan Ellen January 2017 (has links)
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Community Psychology) in the Department of Psychology at the University Of Zululand, 2017 / Health is a human need and considered to be a human right across all societies. Access to health care services is not a problem for those who can afford it, but, for those who cannot provide for themselves, legislation needs to protect their rights. Although there is legislation in place to protect these vulnerable populations, it is ultimately the health care practitioners’ job to protect and improve the health of their communities. It is these health care practitioners who were the inspiration for and focus of the present study.
The present study emerged as a separate, but expanded version of the researcher’s limited 2011 study, which specifically focused on medical practitioners’ experiences of the current health care delivery system. Results from this 2011 study suggested that a broader spectrum of health care practitioners may be similarly affected by the current health care system and that their experiences may ultimately contribute towards a better understanding of the dynamics within which health care practitioners work and function. Therefore, the present phenomenologically-oriented study aimed to describe, explicate, interpret and analyse the experiences of a broad sample of health care practitioners through their lived, day-to-day realities in both the public and private health care sectors.
Data were collected from a non-probability, purposive, convenience sample of 30 adult registered health care practitioners in public and private hospitals, clinics and private practices in the uThungulu District of Kwa-Zulu Natal, South Africa. There were 15 participants from the public and 15 from the private sector. An open-ended questionnaire was used to ascertain and understand their experiences, knowledge and exposure to the relatively new national health insurance (NHI) system, what they perceived as key objectives for effective transformation of the South African health care system, possible reasons for considering emigration in light of the current staff shortages and their views on the new NHI policy, in order to find solutions to problems. The overall data analysis consisted of three levels of subsidiary data analysis, descriptive, social constructionist and interpretive paradigms, each contributing to the whole, both “vertically and horizontally”, where participants’ experiences were described, explicated and interpreted.
Research findings indicated persisting large divisions and fragmentation in and between the public and private health care sectors. Yet there was unity in responses concerning the poor and disadvantaged members of society and the challenges of their access to health care services. Sensitivity to human rights standards, past socio-political influences and awareness of health as a human right and need were evident in all participant responses. Valuable solutions to improve the health care delivery system were offered by health care practitioners as key stakeholders in the future of health care delivery in South Africa. Public health care practitioners’ experiences were dominated by overall expressions of unhappiness, anger and frustration related to poor service delivery, lack of resources, inadequate management structures, wages, inadequate consultation, fear for personal (and family) safety and the future of health care. Concern for the poor, vulnerable and the majority of citizens who use health care services, coupled with the burgeoning burden of disease, were perceived as a major stressor and source of anger towards the government and bureaucracy in general. Chronic stress and anxiety, suggestive of burnout and other negative psychological states, were also apparent. The inability to service long patient queues, inadequate communication structures/channels and lack of cohesive team practices, ethics and standards created a sense of emotional overburden and other negative affective states. These, and the uncertain future of health care under the new NHI, exerted extra stress on already overworked health care personnel. Education and effective consultation about the NHI were expressed as being inadequate and incomplete. Despite these factors, health care practitioners offered various valuable solutions and suggestions for the improvement of health care service delivery. Despite also being stressed, participants who work in the private sector were generally happier and they evinced less negative psychological states. Although a stressful environment with its own problems, within the private sector the NHI was considered to be a good concept in principle, although many participants doubted its feasibility and felt that regulatory changes often took place without adequate consultation. Given the nature and transparency of the present study, across multidisciplinary teams of health care practitioners, the researcher is of the opinion that the present study created a platform for discussion and debate around the context of a changing health care system within South Africa’s culturally diverse society. In conclusion, a critical review of the present study and recommendations for management structures, health care practitioners themselves and future research is provided.

An analysis of bullying within the health care system and its impact on health service deliveryDlamini, Bongani Innocent January 2010 (has links)
A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment for the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 2010. / This research project was undertaken to investigate workplace
bullying and its effect on health service delivery. Research
participants were drawn from Prince Mshiyeni Memorial and
Mosvold Hospitals; the aim was to compare the experiences of
public health employees in rural and urban areas of KwaZulu-
Natal.
The employees have a right to be treated with respect and
dignity and, most importantly, to work in a harmonious and
supportive environment. Bullying behaviour breaches the
employer’s duty under common law to provide a safe and a secure
work environment both physically and psychologically. What makes
it difficult for managers to manage bullying is that it has no
tangible results but it leaves the victim with psychological and
emotional problems which lead to anxiety, stress and depression
if not properly attended to. The results of this research
project further reveal that the majority of bullied employees
are reluctant to speak out or end up not reporting the
incidences because when they do report problems they believe
that they will not be taken seriously.
The results also prove that bullying is not a once-off event but
a continuous cycle aimed at humiliating and belittling the
XVII
victim and that it is present in both health institutions.
Though many factors were indicated as contributing to bullying,
the low–self-esteem and personality factors of the bully were
mentioned as the main factors, followed by inadequate training
for the managers. If managers are serious about combating
bullying in their workplaces they need to be in touch with what
their employees go through when they execute their daily duties
and they need to devise some means of ensuring that the
grievance procedure is adequate and that it caters for bullying
problems.

Factors associated with home remedy use by adults who do not attend health care facilities: Evidence from peruvian population-based survey, 2019Peralta-Vera, F. Guadalupe, Castillo-Céspedes, Enzo, Galup-Leyva, Mariajose, Rucoba-Ames, Joaquín, Herrera-Añazco, Percy, Benites-Zapata, Vicente A. 01 November 2021 (has links)
El texto completo de este trabajo no está disponible en el Repositorio Académico UPC por restricciones de la casa editorial donde ha sido publicado. / We estimated home remedy use (HRU) prevalence and associated factors in adults who present symptoms, disease, or accidents using the National Household Survey 2019. The estimation was performed in a population that did not access a health care facility. We conducted an analytical cross-sectional study in adults over 18 years of age. The dependent variable was HRU (Yes/No) as the main reason for not going to health care facilities. We collected these variables: age, sex, education, marital status, ethnicity, region of residence, chronic diseases or disability, and health insurance. The HRU prevalence was associated with older participants, who lived in the highlands or the jungle, belonged to Quechua or Aymara ethnic groups, and had comprehensive health insurance. In contrast, there was a lower HRU prevalence for those enrolled in private insurance. The HRU was associated with various socio-demographic factors in adults with any symptoms, illness, or accidents not attending health centers. / Revisión por pares
