In this paper we draw overall conclusions concerning the Health Workers for Change (HWFC) methodology as a management and health systems development tool. We examine how HWFC has contributed to an elucidation of the four main themes with which this special Issue is concerned, namely: the value of participatory training; the need for gender sensitivity in health services; the impact of the HWFC intervention on gender sensitivity and quality of care in health services; and the ability to replicate the HWFC intervention in a variety of cultural and geographical sites. The paper concludes that HWFC is a useful health systems development tool, discusses other applications of HWFC beyond those reported in this Issue and makes several recommendations concerning its future use.
在本文中,我们就“变革卫生工作者”(HWFC)方法作为一种管理和卫生系统发展工具得出了总体结论。我们研究了HWFC如何有助于阐明本期特刊所关注的四个主要主题,即:参与式培训的价值;卫生服务中性别敏感性的必要性;HWFC干预对卫生服务中性别敏感性和护理质量的影响;以及在各种文化和地理区域复制HWFC干预措施的能力。本文得出结论,HWFC是一种有用的卫生系统发展工具,讨论了HWFC在本期报道之外的其他应用,并就其未来使用提出了若干建议。
